Demonstration of a Decision Support System for a Novel Integrated Solution aimed at Water Reuse in the Oil & Gas Industry (INTEGROIL)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,

The Oil&Gas (O&G) industry is one of the 8 most water-intensive industries; indeed, it could be conceived as a water industry which delivers oil as a by-product. Specifically, by 2020 it is expected that over 500 million barrels/day of produced water (PW) and about 15 million m³/day of refinery wastewater (RW) are generated. Despite the necessity and potential beneficial impacts of reusing the wat ...

SUSTAINABLE AND LOW ENERGY WASTEWATER TREATMENT FOR WARM CLIMATES (LIFE CELSIUS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2018,

Background Two of the main environmental problems caused by water pollution are eutrophication (excessive nutrients) and hypoxia (oxygen starvation), which result from nutrient pollution of water bodies. They promote excessive plant growth and decay, favouring certain weedy species, and cause severe reductions in water quality. The EU Water Framework Dire ...

Enhanced Reclaimed wAter quality through MainStream anaErobic treatment using Supported biomass growth. (LIFE RAMSES)

Start date: Jul 16, 2015, End date: Jul 15, 2018,

Background According to a recent United Nations’ report, the percentage of appropriated water has risen by up to 30% in recent years: the consumption of water per capita increases (due to the improvement of living standards), the population grows and as a result, the amount of available water is less than the overall demand. Some regions of the Europea ...

Demonstration of integrated smart water supply solutions at 4 sites across Europe (SmartWater4Europe)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

European water utilities face many problems related to their 3,5 million km’s of distribution networks. Large parts of water distribution networks have to be rehabilitated requiring investments of € 20 billion/year. Prioritization and optimization of investments is needed urgently. In many countries, water quality needs improvement in order to reduce health risks and resources for water production ...

Optimised Renewable Mix for Energy Saving in Waste Water Treatment Plants (LIFE-RENEWAT)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Background Across the EU, there are around 16 000 waste water treatment plants (WWTPs). Treatment of waste water is necessary to prevent pollution from being discharged into water courses. It can also provide water that is clean enough for re-use in certain contexts, which can be particularly useful in areas suffering from water stress. However, re-use o ...

Advanced-control MBR for wastewater reclamation (LIFE-BRAINYMEM)

Start date: Jul 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

Background Nitrous oxide (N2O), a greenhouse gas (GHG), can be produced during nitrogen removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by both heterotrophs and autotrophs and wastewater is nowadays the sixth largest contributor to N2O emissions, accounting for around 3% of N2O emissions from all sources. The emission of N2O from WWTPs represents 26% of t ...

Improving Water Reuse at the coastal areas by an advanced desalination process. (LIFE-OFREA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Background Water scarcity in Europe remains a problem, due to, amongst other things, population growth, urbanisation, and climate change. The Water Framework Directive (WFD) promotes measures for water reuse from treated wastewater as one option for helping avoid over exploitation of aquifers. In coastal and island areas this can be especially pertinent, ...

Sustainable and integrated urban water system management (SANITAS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

SANITAS will create the next generation of integrated Urban Water System (UWS) management professionals by providing a unique Europe–wide training platform in the technical and complementary skills they will require. This is needed since in the near future climate change will bring dramatic regional variations in excessive surplus and deficiency in water supply and unpredictable variations in wate ...
