Real-time monitoring system for small and remote water treatment systems**

小型供水系统是北美饮用水行业的重要组成部分，占供水系统的90%以上。然而，许多小型系统由于地处偏远，缺乏操作员支持和适当培训，在操作方面面临挑战。 将实时监测沿着在线支持机制和平台一起进行，将提供机会来提高它们的运行效率，从而提高处理水的安全性。 将实时数据转换为可操作的信息使操作员能够更有效地操作和解决这些系统中的问题。* 这项研究，在不列颠哥伦比亚大学发起，并积极参与的过滤水处理有限公司，旨在应对这一挑战，并研究实时和远程水质监测战略的机会，以支持当地水运营商的日常活动和处理系统的运行。该项目的初始阶段将涉及对现有文献、技术报告、白色文件和专利进行全面审查，以收集关于现有和新兴技术的信息和数据，用于实时监测。第二阶段将包括开发一个低成本，简单的智能水质监测系统，使用带有内置Wi-Fi模块的控制器，通过并行实验室测试和评估进行评估。

Small water supply systems are an important part of the drinking water industry in North America, accounting for more than 90% of the water systems. Many small systems, however, face challenges with respect to their operation due to remoteness and lack of operator support and adequate training. Incorporating real-time monitoring along with on-line support mechanism and platform will offer the opportunity to improve their operational efficiency and hence the safety of the treated water. Converting real-time data into actionable information enables operators to more effectively operate and troubleshoot problems in these systems. ****This research, initiated at UBC with active participation of Filterco water treatment Ltd., aims to address this challenge and examine opportunities for real-time and remote water quality monitoring strategies that support local water operators in their day-to-day activities and operation of the treatment system.****The initial stage of the project will involve a thorough review of the available literature, technical reports, white papers, and patents in order to gather information and data on existing and emerging technologies for real-time monitoring. The second stage will consist of developing a low cost, simple smart water quality monitoring system, using a controller with inbuilt Wi-Fi module, which will be evaluated through parallel laboratory testing and assessment.
