Lambton Water Centre (LWC)

正如联邦和安大略创新指南中所讨论的那样，各省和联邦对市政和工业应用的水和废水处理技术和系统的改进、开发和商业化越来越感兴趣。现有处理设施的饱和、高劳动力成本（特别是在偏远地区）以及传统系统的低处理效率、高土地使用足迹和高能源需求是预计将通过新的和改进的系统来研究和解决的主要挑战。兰顿水中心（LWC）项目将提高兰顿学院及其工业、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）设计和实施新水技术系统的自动化、仪器仪表、优化和建模，以提高其性能，ii）开发最佳工厂设计和预测性维护/操作调度，iii）开发水和废水处理厂的远程设施管理（RFM）系统。在后期阶段，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，以及定制高级培训工具的设计。LWC将为市政当局和工业提供具有成本效益的选择，以优化现有和新工厂。LWC将受益于与水和废水价值链中的公司和组织的密切合作，包括市政当局，制造商，运营商，顾问，第一民族和

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
