TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE RECOVERY OF NUTRIENTS AND THE RE-USE OF WASTE WATERS
Technology Readiness Level (TRL)
3÷8
Innovations and Benefits
Application of low-impact technologies for the reuse of municipal / industrial wastewater and for the recovery of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and other second raw materials from different concentrated flows: municipal / industrial sludge, supernatant sludge line of municipal / industrial purification plants, livestock effluents, agro-industry effluents, digested out of biogas plants, landfill leachates.
Services offered in these areas:
- Technical and economic feasibility analysis.
- Identification of tailor-made technological solutions using prototyping methodologies, modeling and formulation of relevant control and management outlines.
- Analysis of associated material and energy flows and relative cost-benefit assessments.
- Application of pinch analisys techniques for water saving and material recovery in productive contexts.
- Development and application of new processes for the treatment and recovery of substances from the streams of interest.
- Analysis of applicability of technologies for reuse and recovery of material in decentralized rural and urban areas.
- Training.
Use
