Renewable Water
At Enterra, we recognize the immense potential of renewable energy and its vital role in both fortifying the 16 sectors of critical infrastructure (16-CI) and driving future economic growth. By integrating cutting-edge technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and robust cybersecurity solutions, Enterra is at the forefront of building a prosperous and sustainable future, one that not only addresses today's needs but also anticipates and overcomes the challenges of tomorrow.
Advanced Water Purification Technologies:
Enterra is deepening our commitment to critical infrastructure by enhancing wastewater treatment through forward-looking purification strategies. Our work focuses on removing harmful contaminants from municipal and industrial water systems to support cleaner discharge and safeguard both environmental and public health. These solutions are supported by intelligent monitoring and system optimization, enabling more responsive operations, improved efficiency, and reduced long-term costs. By embedding these innovations within our broader sustainability framework, we strengthen resilience across the water sector and contribute to the enduring stability of all 16 sectors of critical infrastructure.
Market Impact and Economic Potential:
The global water infrastructure sector is undergoing a critical evolution, driven by rising concerns over contaminants such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and the urgent need to modernize aging systems. According to JPMorgan, the global water and wastewater treatment market was valued at approximately USD 314 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach over USD 572 billion by 2032, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% (JPMorgan). This growth is propelled by tightening environmental regulations, increasing industrial demand, and climate-induced water stress.
PFAS, often referred to as “forever chemicals,” are particularly resilient to conventional treatment processes and pose a significant threat to environmental and human health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognizes granular activated carbon, ion exchange resins, and high-pressure membrane systems as effective technologies for PFAS removal in both drinking water and wastewater applications (EPA). Advanced purification systems that incorporate these methods are becoming essential tools in municipal and industrial settings.
Technology integration is further transforming the sector. McKinsey reports that AI and IoT-enabled monitoring systems can significantly enhance the performance and efficiency of water treatment facilities, enabling real-time adjustments, predictive maintenance, and better compliance with regulatory standards (McKinsey). These intelligent systems not only drive cost savings but also extend the operational lifespan of water infrastructure, improving resilience across critical services.
This shift aligns with the World Bank’s emphasis on water security as a cornerstone of global development and climate resilience. Strategic investments in advanced water purification technologies are central to ensuring long-term water availability, economic stability, and public health protection (World Bank). For infrastructure innovators like Enterra, this presents a compelling opportunity to lead the charge in modernizing water systems while supporting the integrity of the broader critical infrastructure network.
