Awards, our goal is to present a broad spectrum of innovations that could spur
greater innovation in the recipients' respective countries and industries. Just as innovation itself is continuously self-redefining, the awards are meant to promote continuity
in innovation", said Dato' William Ng, president of

About Metropolitan Waterworks Authority (MWA) Thailand�s Chlorine Next

Metropolitan
Waterworks Authority (MWA), Thailand is responsible for providing tap water to
customers in 3,195 sq.km service area. Since the area is spacious
and has complicated pipeline network, the chlorine retention time is long. The effective re-chlorination in the distribution system plays a key
role to maintain free residual chlorine (FRC) in the entire pipeline
system to prevent post contamination in case that there are pipe breaks. In addition to chlorination
at water treatment plants, MWA also has chlorine boosting system at 9 water
pumping stations to control FRC until the end of pipelines network.

�

"Chlorine Next",
a user-friendly mobile
application, is invented to be used as a single control point for chlorine
dosing in water distribution system. Chlorine Next can be used to control and monitor chlorine dosage 24/7 and can provide suggestions about proper boosting
dosage complying with WHO guideline values for drinking water that the chlorine
has to be higher than 0.2 mg/l. Using Chlorine Next,
we can provide customers quality tap water anywhere and anytime. Chlorine Next is an
innovation that responds to SDGs in many aspects such as providing clean water
and sanitation to people, making sustainable communities and improving people's good health.
