WateReuse member Yokogawa announced plans to partner with Rice University’s Water Technologies Entrepreneurship and Research (WaTER) Institute. The agreement will leverage the complementary expertise and unique capabilities of both partners. The WaTER Institute has researched and developed modular treatment solutions, while Yokogawa is implementing system control and automation. The integration of these approaches sets the stage for more widespread adoption of autonomous water treatment processes.
