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 ...

Nutrient recovery from biobased Waste for Fertilizer production (NewFert)

Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Biowaste valorisation is an attractive approach in the framework of the EU Waste Management policies and the development of a circular economy. Waste from biostreams and different biobased sources are being under-utilised as potential resource of valuable compounds. Fertilisers play an important role as suppliers of nutrients relying on their production heavily on fossil mineral resources. Europea ...

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 ...

Innovation Demonstration for a Competitive and Innovative European Water Reuse Sector (DEMOWARE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The ability of Europe’s communities to respond to increasing water stress by taking advantage of water reuse opportunities is restricted by low public confidence in solutions, inconsistent approaches to evaluating costs and benefits of reuse schemes, and poor coordination of the professionals and organisations who design, implement and manage them. The DEMOWARE initiative will rectify these shortc ...

Sustainable sewage sludge management fostering phosphorus recovery and energy efficiency (P-REX)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Phosphorus is one essential element of life, which can neither be produced synthetically nor substituted by any other substance. Its importance as plant nutrient is emphasized by the huge amount of 975 000 tons of phosphorus annually imported into Europe to sustain good harvests. While phosphorus is a limited fossil element, its extensive recovery from “secondary deposits” is of paramount importan ...

Demonstration of promising technologies to address emerging pollutants in water and waste water (DEMEAU)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

The water and waste water sector is facing tremendous challenges to assure safe, cost-effective and sustainable water supply and sanitation services. DEMEAU promotes the uptake of knowledge, prototypes and practices from previous EU research enabling the water cycle sector to face emerging pollutants and thus securing water and waste water services and public health. The project exploits four grou ...

Enhancement of natural water systems and treatment methods for safe and sustainable water supply in India (SAPH PANI)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Saph Pani addresses the improvement of natural water treatment systems such as river bank filtration (RBF), managed aquifer recharge (MAR) and wetlands in India building on a combination of local and international expertise. The project aims at enhancing water resources and water supply particularly in water stressed urban and peri-urban areas in different parts of the sub-continent. The objective ...

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 ...
