Microbial Resource Management and Engineering in the Urban Water Cycle (Mermaid)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

We will provide the first-ever research training in the transdisciplinary area of Microbial Resource Management and Engineering (MRME) to develop new concepts and technologies to meet the imminent societal challenge of closing the Urban Water Cycle (UWC), the sustainable management of residual waters and the preparation and distribution of safe potable water.The network consists of 10 regional wor ...

Using hydrogeobiocells (HGBcells) for the in-situ biological treatment of CAH contaminated groundwater in areas with low hydraulic gradients (LVM-BIOcells)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Background European soils contain many legacies from a less-sustainable industrial past; soils, sediments and groundwater are sinks for many pollutants. The European Environment Agency (EEA) estimates the that there are between 300 000 and 1.5 million contaminated sites in the EU that can be cleaned up (where the source of contamination is no longer prese ...

Nutrient and Energy Recovery in Wastewater Treatment Plants by Up-concentration and Adsorption processes (LIFE NECOVERY)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Background To meet the requirements of European legislation, Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) must reduce the nutrient content of effluent discharges to within certain limits. Such limits exist, for example, for suspended solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrogen (N), and phosphorous (P). These nutrients could ...

Self-healing concrete to create durable and sustainable concrete structures (HEALCON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Within the call “Self-healing materials for prolonged lifetime”, self-healing concrete is an important topic. Adequate perpetuation of the road, tunnel and bridge network, is crucial to preserving European cohesion and business operations; and around 70% of this infrastructure is made of concrete. In order to guarantee liquid tightness of concrete structures, and enhance durability of elements pr ...

BIOTREATMENT OF DRINKING WATER RESOURCES POLLUTED BY PESTICIDES, PHARMACEUTICALS AND OTHER MICROPOLLUTANTS (BIOTREAT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

BIOTREAT brings together six research institutions and four SMEs to develop much-needed water treatment biotechnologies for removing pesticides, pharmaceuticals and other organic micropollutants from contaminated drinking water resources. These biotechnologies will be developed into prototype biofilter systems ready for subsequent commercialisation. The biofilters will contain non-pathogenic pollu ...
