LIFE+ISR-Innovative sludge reduction (Life+ISR)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Background
EU wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) produce 30 000 tons (dry matter) of sludge daily. This sludge is deposited, incinerated or used as fertiliser. Sludge disposal has large negative environmental impacts and is costly. As a result of the increasing number of households with sewerage connection, the problem is increasing rapidly. The main cha ...

Waste water treatment as energy and mineral recovery utility (OMZET)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
Background
Until now, the design and development of wastewater treatment plants (WTTPs) has been primarily aimed at optimising the efficiency of the treatment of wastewater, as measured by the quality of the effluent. However, recently, it has started to be recognised that municipal wastewater might be a valuable source of energy and minerals such as phos ...

Demonstration of an innovative process to produce biobased plastic out of cellulose recovered from domestic waste water (cellu2plaLIFE+)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 1 juil. 2017,
Background
Waste water treatment focuses on the quality of the effluent as well as on the efficiency of the treatment process. The negative impacts of waste water treatment (energy use, CO2 and sludge production) are accepted as inevitable. Nevertheless, waste water treatment plants (WWTP) have considerable ecological footprints. In the Netherlands, for e ...

PHARMAFILTER, an innovative waste and waste water management concept for hospitals (PHARMAFILTER)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2009, Date de fin: 30 juin 2012,
Background
In hospitals, organic waste comes from various sources, including food waste, human faeces and urine. Human faeces collected at the bed of a patient presents risks of contagion, so the faeces are collected in metal pans, taken to a central collection unit and disinfected by thermal treatment. Since the used and clean bed pans are handled in the ...

Wastewater & Effluent Treatmen (WET)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2005, Date de fin: 30 juin 2009,
Background
The EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) provides guidelines for the protection of surface water, coastal water and groundwater and will be mandatory from the year 2015. For the sustainable management of groundwater and surface water, the WFD has identified priority substances, which are considered hazardous enough to necessitate a systematic red ...

The Vertical Flow Reed Bed at Leidsche Rijn. A natural way to filter urban water. (VERBAL)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2003, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2007,
Background
Approximately 20% of the surface water in the EU is severely threatened by pollution from nitrates and phosphates caused mainly by agricultural activities. These cause redundant algae growth, harming fish and sometimes humans. One solution developed to clean polluted surface water is the vertical flow reed bed.
The vertical flow reed bed co ...

Membrane bioreactor WWTP Varsseveld (MEMBRANE BIOREACTOR)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2002, Date de fin: 30 juin 2006,
Background
The criteria normally used for discharging effluents are defined on the basis of standard techniques such as activated sludge and secondary clarification. However, it has become clear that in some cases specific effluent requirements are necessary. This applies in particular to water with a recreational function, ecologically sensitive waters o ...
