| Programme | INCO MED (FP6) | ||
| Objectives | - The main objective of the proposed project is to investigate,
assess and significantly enhance the potentiality of promising technological
options (i.e., technologies, processes and concepts) for the treatment of
industrial wastewater with the specific aim to provide tailor-made solutions
to end-users for a wide range of wastewaters. - Such solutions will be essentially based on the improved integration of the investigated options and on technological improvements with respect to treatment system components, operation and control. Referring to the investigated options and the envisaged technological solutions, the project’s goals are: •Detailed investigation and performance enhancement of promising wastewater treatment options such as aerobic granulation, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) and membrane-based hybrid processes •Achieving fundamental and technological knowledge advancements necessary for advanced wastewater treatment application in different industrial sectors •Assessing the economic and environmental sustainability of promising wastewater treatment options •Developing integrated tailor-made solutions for end-users in different industrial sectors •Transferring the developed know-how to potential end-users inside and outside the project •Favoring their actual implementation for enhancing the EU Water Industry competitiveness. - In order to achieve such goals, coordinated research activities will be carried out on selected options treating different types of wastewater. The experiences from such activities will be merged to define tailor-made solutions for end-users in different industrial sectors. A major goal will be the definition of treatment needs and framework conditions for a wide range of wastewaters based on the features of the options investigated (i.e., aerobic granulation, AOP combined processes, membrane contactors, membrane chemical reactors). |
