Taipei, Taiwan, July 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The revolutionary wave of “water tech 2.0” is driving the global water industry into a new age of heightened standards and upgrades. And the momentum for this change can be traced to the tech and upgrade successes of the Taiwan water industry. Professionals can gain the big picture on the currents and trends in water at the Taiwan International Water Show (AQUA TAIWAN), September 13-15, 2017 at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center.
With a combination of IoT and ICT strengths, Taiwan excels in smart water tech with annual exports of pumps, valves, pipes, meters and water purifiers exceeding US$2 billion. In Taiwan, investment in water infrastructure is targeting smart water management and water reclamation, which will be supplying 10% of all water resources by 2030.
By 2025, 80 percent of utilities in the advanced world and 50 percent of city utilities in developing economies will be using smart water systems worth an estimated US$25 billion. The quality and innovation in this tech is tapping the future.
A full lineup of smart technologies is exhibited at AQUA TAIWAN. These include an electronic smart water meter that detects and reports water leakage online (EMS), a smart knob-controlled compact RO system with a touch panel and auto leak detection (LAN SHAN), and a Taiwan Excellence Award-winning residential electronic control pump suitable for boosting pressure from underground (Walrus).
The event promotes the best in household, commercial, and industrial water tech as well as remote servicing, data analytics and recycling. Great prospects are also waiting at the show forums, seminars and business matchmaking events that underscore Taiwan’s progress towards a new dimension of smart water technology.
