Pilot scale and real scale demonstration of water treatment technology

Over 2 billion people globally lack access to clean and safe drinking water, posing a significant challenge, particularly for developing nations with poor water treatment technologies. The contamination of water bodies remains a pressing issue that impacts health and environmental sustainability, with the UN SDG-6 targeting to ensure access to clean, potable water and sanitation by 2030. The objective of the study is to assess the feasibility, efficacy, and scalability of various innovative water treatment technologies through pilot-scale and real-scale demonstrations. Despite the promising benefits of these treatment methods, studies focusing on their practical implementation are scarce. The study also addresses the challenges of implementing these technologies and recommends strategies to overcome identified drawbacks. The findings are expected to guide policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders in adopting innovative best practices and staying informed about emerging trends in water treatment technologies by showcasing successful case studies and identifying key lessons learned.
