The CEO of AGENSO, Zisis Tsiropoulos, describes how the AccelWater project is optimising freshwater consumption in the food and beverage industry to reduce its environmental impact. The project aims to optimise freshwater consumption in the F&B industry under a water-waste-energy nexus by introducing beyond state-of-the-art water reclaiming, reusing, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled monitoring and control technologies that will permit the use of reclaimed water in manufacturing processes.
The project consortium has set some goals including a greater than 30% decrease in freshwater consumption in each of the four demonstrators; a 20% decrease in the cost of water use (including freshwater consumption and water recycling); a greater than 20% decrease in the volume of waste and cost of waste management; a 20% decrease in the cost of energy use; and a greater than 20% decrease in CO2 emissions.

What are your thoughts on this? Comment below and get the conversation started! Certainly, fresh water is good... but what exactly is involved in a 30% decrease in freshwater consumption--and will that still allow for people to have enough water to drink, or will it be less like a "Happy Water Treatment Engineer" and more like what a lot of people fear about AI?
