Developing ways to clean and reuse water is essential as populations grow, extreme weather increases, infrastructure ages and demand for water outpaces current resources.

RLCore today announced RLTune, a real-time continuous optimization platform designed to revolutionize how water and wastewater facilities operate in dynamic, nonlinear environments. Unveiled at the American Water Works Association’s ACE26 conference, RLTune introduces a new level of control: a continual learning intelligence layer that works alongside existing controls and dynamically optimizes plant performance, leading to significant efficiency gains, cost savings and operational resilience. 

McWane, a worldwide leader in building sustainable infrastructure, has expanded on its hydrant-based system monitoring and analytics technology with the launch of iHydrantPlus™. This new system builds on the original iHydrant™ technology to combine acoustic leak detection, pressure monitoring and temperature data with machine learning tools to provide private and public water system operators with real time system analytics and alerts.

Industry faces growing pressure to reduce energy use and chemical consumption while improving efficiency. Researchers at Luleå University of Technology have shown how microscopic bubbles generated by ultrasound can be used to improve processes ranging from water treatment to food production and metal extraction.

A new gel-based material developed by University of Florida chemical engineers filters  PFAS “forever chemicals” from water more efficiently than many widely used commercial options.

Sigma Advanced Technologies today announced the launch of its next‑generation mobile all‑in‑one ozone water treatment containers, engineered to transform how industrial operators manage and reuse wastewater.
