MOREDid you see the moon-base-like spherical building? That is the Environmental Resource Education Exhibition Center which includes the control center of the Taichung Sewage Treatment Plant at CTSP with the concept of an intelligent neural network. It monitors more than 140,000 tons of industrial sewage and its quality on the daily basis through the analysis and early warning of the sewage monitoring station in the park. It can swiftly provide abnormal water quality information of sewage treatment plants, preventive monitoring data of in-plant equipment, and increase early warning response time and timely maintenance information. You can learn about the intelligent management of sewage treatment plants and the process of turning industrial sewage into clean and recyclable discharge water in this facility! There is also the AI Robotics Hub at CTSP within this area, which allows us to see how artificial intelligence being applied in our daily lives. There are also environmental education promotion partners nearby such as TSMC Ecological Park at CTSP, AUO Taichung Plant, and Taichung Metropolitan Park. It is the best spot for an environmental education field trip, awaiting your exploration.
