Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'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 groups of promising technologies from previous EU research: Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), hybrid ceramic membrane filtration, hybrid advanced oxidation processes, bioassays. Exploitation takes place through action research with universities, research institutions, innovative SME’s, launching water utilities and policy makers. Essential in the DEMEAU approach is the cooperation with water utilities that have committed to act as launching customer for the selected technologies. Existing and improved performance assessment methodologies will be used to benchmark the novel technologies against existing ones. This is to demonstrate the suitability and cost-effectiveness of the demonstrated technologies. Demonstration sites at launching utilities act as transfer points for the technologies and will generate market opportunities for the SME’s involved. To foster a broader impact and market penetration of the technologies, DEMEAU seeks cooperation with relevant policy makers, regulators and standardization bodies on Member State and European level in order to address barriers and promoters for the implementation. A considerable percentage (39%) of the total requested EC contribution is allocated to SME’s.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
The water and waste water sector around the world faces major challenges in ensuring people have access to a safe, cost-effective and sustainable water supply. Obstacles include a growing population, ageing infrastructure, new emerging chemical and microbiological pollutants, and an increase in frequency of floods and droughts due to climate change.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Emerging pollutants have been the subject of many European research projects. They have resulted in new technologies and practices for their treatment, monitoring and detection. The 'Demonstration of promising technologies to address emerging pollutants in water and waste water' (http://www.demeau-fp7.eu (DEMEAU)) project will promote the uptake of knowledge, prototypes and practices from earlier EU research, enabling the water and waste water sector to combat emerging pollutants.
DEMEAU exploits four groups of promising technologies from previous research projects. The technologies involved are managed aquifer recharge (MAR), hybrid ceramic membrane filtration, hybrid advanced oxidation processes and bioassays. Exploitation of results will be achieved through research collaborations with universities, institutes, small and medium-sized enterprises, and policymakers. Water utilities are also involved and will act as the launch pad for these new technologies, thereby ensuring their wider uptake.
Project partners will design a new MAR authorisation system that supports the European water directives, while minimising energy consumption and costs. A toolbox will be created to support operators and water authorities. The consortium will also develop an improved reactor design for ceramic membranes for drinking water production and hybrid ceramic membranes-based processes for grey water treatment.
Researchers will also demonstrate sustainable and cost-effective oxidation technologies for removing micropollutants from drinking water and waste water. In addition, they will develop a decision-making tool for implementing oxidation technologies, based on water quality evaluation at the regional level.
Bioassays for water quality assessment will be validated and a protocol produced for the implementation of bioassays in the water monitoring programmes of water utilities. To ensure a lasting legacy, project outcomes will be disseminated to water utilities, technology providers, policymakers and standardisation bodies. The general public will be engaged through an awareness raising video that will explain the costs involved in treating drinking water and waste water.
