New technology for real-time optimisation and control of water systems
Real-time operation of water infrastructure is an important element in managing water systems. This includes, amongst others, operation of river and reservoir systems for flood control, irrigation and hydropower production, and operation of urban drainage systems for storm and wastewater management. Traditionally, real-time operation of such systems is carried out using rule-based control of individual controllable elements. There is a significant potential for enhancing the operational efficiency of water systems by global, system-wide optimisation of all control structures.

Hospital wastewater – From a pollution problem to new water resources
Hospital wastewater contains hazardous pharmaceuticals and can cause serious infectious diseases. Hence, it is paramount that hospital wastewater be treated before being released to sewers and the aquatic environment. DHI has, together with Grundfos BioBooster A/S, tested, developed and evaluated a new type of method to treat the wastewater. With the full scale treatment, it is now possible to efficiently clean wastewater such that the treated water produced can be used for recreational purposes in the local stream and be re-used as cooling water in the hospital.
