Universal Automation and Opportunities for Industrial Water
In total, industrial water facilities in the U.S. are expected to spend over US$262 billion between 2024 and 2030 on operational expenses such as labor, chemicals, and energy. They are also expected to use over 58 trillion gallons (220 billion cubic meters) of water per year. A new approach to automation can help these industries through water, energy, and chemical savings.
