Seekers of new and exciting clean-water technologies are drawn to the Innovation Pavilion at WEFTEC. Here, inventors and start-up companies show their wares and tell how their offerings can make water and wastewater treatment more effective and efficient. Here’s a look at the innovations presented in 2018. FRED. The Field-Ready Electrochemical Detector turns modified microbes into electrochemical sensors that can sense specific chemicals and rapidly report concentrations. It’s used at remote sampling sites, for industries that need quick answers to guide decisions on treatment regimes, and for process improvements in industry. The technology provides one-hour measurements to trace levels of
