Demonstrating synergies in combined natural and engineered processes for water treatment systems (AquaNES)

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

The AquaNES project will catalyse innovations in water and wastewater treatment processes and management through improved combinations of natural and engineered components. Among the demonstrated solutions are natural treatment processes such as bank filtration (BF), managed aquifer recharge (MAR) and constructed wetlands (CW) plus engineered pre- and post-treatment options. The project focuses on ...

Full scale demonstration of energy positive sewage treatment plant concepts towards market penetration (POWERSTEP)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2018,

The municipal wastewater in Europe contains a potential chemical energy of 87,500 GWh per year in its organic fraction, which is equivalent to the output of 12 large power stations. Due to the currently applied technologies and related energy loss at each process step, wastewater treatment in Europe today consumes instead the equivalent of more than 2 power stations. Many operators are thus target ...

Foresight Tools for Responding to cascading effects in a crisis (FORTRESS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2017,

FORTRESS will identify and understand cascading effects by using evidence-based information from a range of previous crisis situations, as well as an in-depth analysis of systems and their mutual interconnectivity and (inter-)dependency. FORTRESS will seek to intervene in current crisis response practices by bridging the gap between the over-reliance on unstructured information collection on one s ...

PREPARED “ENABLING CHANGE” (PREPARED)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

IPCC climate change scenarios have a global perspective and need to be scaled down to the local level, where decision makers have to balance risks and investment costs. Very high investments might be a waste of money and too little investment could result in unacceptable risk for the local community. PREPARED is industry driven, 12 city utilities are involved in the project and the RDT carried out ...

Enhanced Nutrients Removal in Membrane Bioreactor (ENREM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2004, End date: Jun 30, 2007,

Background Effective treatment of wastewater, that guards against the pollution of bodies of water and the phenomenon of eutrophication, is a worldwide challenge. The extent of the challenge is illustrated by the high number of bathing waters in EU countries that do not comply with EU regulations. Development of new and cost-effective processes is necessa ...

Sanitation Concepts for separate Treatment of Urine, Faeces and Greywater (SCST)

Start date: Mar 1, 2003, End date: Dec 31, 2006,

Background Most water-related problems, in Europe as in the rest of the world, relate to water quantity and quality issues. To solve these problems, new techniques and concepts for the preparation and supply of drinking water and for wastewater discharge and treatment need to be developed. A more sustainable approach should consider the intended use of tr ...
