World Water Day: ADI takes concrete actions to fulfill its commitment to “cherish water and protect water”
3.22 World Water Day
How much do you know about World Water Day?
The purpose of World Water Day is to arouse the public's awareness of water conservation and strengthen water resource protection. In order to meet people's daily life, business and agricultural needs for water resources, the United Nations has long been committed to solving the global water crisis caused by the rising demand for water resources. The "United Nations Water Conference" held in 1977 issued a serious warning to the world: water will soon become a profound social crisis, and the next crisis after the oil crisis is water. On January 18, 1993, the 47th United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution to designate March 22 of each year as "World Water Day". In 2021, the United Nations has determined the theme of "World Water Day" as "Cherish Water, Love Water" !
The latest UN report shows that one in three people in the world cannot access safe drinking water. China's per capita water resources are less than one-third of the world's level, and nearly two-thirds of cities are short of water to varying degrees. Water is a precious resource for human survival, and every drop is precious. Do you know how to protect these precious water resources? In this regard , great progress has been made . ADI is helping to achieve higher goals with new ambitious goals and strategic plans.
Water is an integral part of ADI’s operations and we have already exceeded our previous 2.5% water reduction target and are now setting a new goal to double our water recycling/reuse rate by 2025, based on 2015 levels.
Forward-looking design, meticulous execution! ADI, which has always been committed to a sustainable future, has launched a series of solutions for water resources!
We cannot live without water in our daily life. Water is also an important part of production activities such as chemical processing, papermaking, food, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. Monitoring and analyzing water quality and determining liquid composition are important safeguards for human health.
ADI provides a modular detection platform that users can use to design flexible electrochemical water quality measurement solutions. Its high level of integration enables the electrochemical measurement platform to be applied to a variety of water quality probes, including pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and conductivity cells. The system allows up to four probes to be connected at one time for different water quality measurements.
Electrochemical techniques can be used directly or indirectly to detect several important parameters that affect water quality, including chemical indicators, biological and bacterial indicators, and even some low-level contaminants such as heavy metals. Many of these indicative measurements are related to determining important quality parameters of the analyte being measured.
Although nearly 70% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, only 2.5% of it is fresh water suitable for use or drinking, while the rest is salt water or seawater. Not only that, only 1% of fresh water is easily accessible to us, while the rest is hidden in glaciers and snow. Moreover, the risk of fresh water shortage is increasing. So what if we could drink seawater?
Danfoss, which is dedicated to the desalination process, is working with ADI to use ADI's breakthrough condition monitoring technology to provide fresh water to areas in urgent need of water resources in an energy-efficient and efficient way. The condition monitoring (CbM) technology platform launched by ADI is designed to continuously and accurately detect and monitor the asset health status of machines and other types of important equipment. After using CbM technology in the post-production desalination pump test, this high-energy test runs 23% faster while reducing energy requirements. In the future, these tests may run 50% faster .
