Lambton Water Centre (LWC)

正如《联邦和安大略省创新议程》中所讨论的，各省和联邦政府对市政和工业用水处理技术和系统的改进、开发和商业化的兴趣与日俱增。现有处理设施饱和、劳动力成本高，特别是在偏远地区，以及传统系统处理效率低、占用土地和能源需求高是主要挑战，预计新的和改进的系统将对这些挑战进行调查和解决。兰布顿水中心(LWC)项目将提高兰布顿学院及其工业、市政和政府合作伙伴在废水、水处理和服务领域进行应用研究的能力。LWC计划的总体目标是：i)设计和实施新的水技术系统的自动化、仪表、优化和建模，以提高其性能；ii)开发最佳的工厂设计和预测性维护/运行调度；iii)开发用于水和废水处理厂的远程设施管理(RFM)系统。在后续阶段，将研究新开发的先进水质传感器集成、处理前提取有价值的化合物以及定制先进培训工具的设计。LWC将为市政当局和行业提供具有成本效益的选择，以优化现有和新的工厂。LWC将受益于与水和废水价值链上的公司和组织的密切伙伴关系，这些公司和组织包括市政当局、制造商、运营商、顾问、第一国家和

There is a growing provincial and federal interest as discussed in the Federal and Ontario Innovation Agendas in the improvement, development and commercialization of water and waste water treatment technologies and systems; both for municipal and industrial applications. Saturation of existing treatment facilities, high labour cost, especially at remote locations, as well as low treatment efficiency, high land-use footprint, and high energy requirements for conventional systems are the main challenges which are expected to be investigated and solved by new and improved systems. The Lambton Water Centre (LWC) project will increase the capacity for Lambton College and its industrial, municipal and government partners to conduct applied research in the area of wastewater, water treatment and services. The LWC initiative's overall goals are: i) to design and implement automation, instrumentation, optimization and modeling of new water technology systems to improve their performance, ii) to develop optimal plant design and predictive maintenance/operation scheduling, iii) to develop Remote Facility Management (RFM) systems for water and wastewater plants. In later phases, newly developed advanced water quality sensor integration, extraction of valuable compounds before treatment, and design of customized advanced training tools will be investigated. LWC will provide cost effective options to municipalities and industry for the optimization of existing and new plants. The LWC will benefit from close partnerships with companies and organizations in the water and wastewater value chain including municipalities, manufacturers, operators, consultants, first nation and
