ABB and Wellington Water win Global Water Award

ABB HAS WON A

2023 Global Water Award in the category ‘Smart Water Project of the Year’ for its collaboration with Wellington Water, the water services provider for the Wellington region of New Zealand.

Wellington Water manages the water infrastructure for six New Zealand councils. This infrastructure includes 105 water pump stations, 248 wastewater pump stations, 148 reservoirs and 27 storm water pump stations at various sites.

The utility worked closely with ABB to take the resiliency of its drinking water infrastructure to the next level, implementing smart flow meters that track water flow in real time, and variable frequency drives to deliver crucial efficiency gains.

Built-in verification tools and anomaly detection capabilities enable operators to secure the longevity of devices. Recorded data is easily exported for further analysis and evaluation so that critical factors can be identified earlier, and corrective actions are taken more quickly.

CHEMUK has become the destination in the UK where all the key bodies, major companies, and industry stakeholder groups embracing organic and inorganic synthetics, formulation chemistry, analytical and materials chemistry, industrial biotechnology, and chemical and process engineering are predictably in the same time and space, under one giant roof, alongside a wealth of downstream chemical-dependent industries.

CHEMUK 2024 is scheduled to run on May 15 and 16, 2024, at the NEC, Birmingham.
