Imagine a neighborhood where factories and cities trade their trash and dirty water like currency. Instead of paying to dump waste, they use a smart system to turn it into clean water, electricity, and raw materials. It's like a giant recycling loop that makes the whole region cleaner and cheaper to run.
Industries and cities often waste valuable resources by treating water and waste in isolation. This leads to high disposal costs, wasted energy, and environmental pollution.
["An anaerobic bioreactor (AnMBR) with anti-biofilm membranes and an adsorption column for water reuse.", "A pyrolysis system that converts non-recyclable waste into energy and platform molecules.", "An IT Regional Management Platform (ITRMP) featuring AI-driven control and a Social Decision Support System."]
If you are a manufacturer dealing with high raw material costs — this project developed a pyrolysis system that turns non-recyclable waste into platform molecules and carbon dots. This allows you to source high-value resources from local waste streams instead of expensive virgin materials.
If you are a utility provider dealing with emerging pollutants in wastewater — this project developed an AnMBR system with anti-biofilm membranes and adsorption columns. This enables the production of reusable water for industrial use, reducing the strain on freshwater sources.
If you are a software firm dealing with inefficient resource tracking across different sites — this project developed an IT Regional Management Platform with AI and Federated AI. This allows for dynamic control and optimization of water and energy flows across an entire region.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not provided, but the project uses Life Cycle Costing (LCC) studies to evaluate the economic impact of the EcoSites.
The project is demonstrating the concept through 4 EcoSites in Spain, Austria, Denmark, and Greece to validate the technologies in real-world regional settings.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project involves a consortium of 31 partners including 17 industry players.
Integration is managed via an IT Regional Management Platform (ITRMP) that uses Edge/Cloud architecture and IIoT for online monitoring of water quality and quantity.
The project period runs from 2022-06-01 to 2026-05-31, with demonstrations occurring across four European regions.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 17 industrial partners (55% ratio) and 9 SMEs, suggesting a strong focus on commercial viability. With 31 partners across 9 countries, the project has a broad geographic reach and a balanced mix of 6 universities and 3 research centers to support the technical development of the AnMBR and pyrolysis systems.
