February 11 2021 | We had the pleasure to hear more about applied smart water technology using pipe::scan installations.
Hosted by Elisabeth Ebner from s::can, Benjamin Buysschaert from FARYS (Belgium), Jordi Raich from s::can Iberia (Spain) and Philipp Proksch from the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Austria) shared their experience using pipe::scan systems, the challenges they faced and which benefits they gained from using a smart water quality monitoring solution.
Our speakers further discussed how advanced monitoring and instrumentation can help a utility to better manage their pretreatment program by increasing compliance, protecting sewer, lift station and treatment assets and providing opportunities for optimization at the treatment facility with the use of predictive analytics.

Philipp Proksch has a background in Molecular Biology and Civil Engineering and Water Management. He works at the Institute of Sanitary Engineering and Water Pollution Control (SIG) at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, starting as a research assistant in 2017. Since early 2020 he has been leading the institutes microbiology lab, which strongly emphasizes the characterization of bacterial communities in drinking water resources using flow cytometry and DNA-sequencing methods. Together with s::can several projects have been conducted using s::cans water monitoring methods and Online-Flow-Cytometry side by side.
