Imagine having a high-tech security system for your water pipes that catches invisible pollutants instantly. Instead of waiting days for lab results, these tools act like a digital smoke alarm for chemicals and germs. It also includes a specialized filter to scrub out forever-chemicals like PFAS, keeping the water safe from the source to your tap.
Water companies struggle to detect emerging pollutants like PFAS and micro-organisms in real-time, leading to expensive infrastructure overhauls to meet strict EU safety laws.
A toolkit containing 13 water quality sensors (hard and soft), a PFAS-removal material, a biological organic-matter treatment process, and a plant design model tool.
If you are a municipal water supply operator dealing with unpredictable pollution from climate change — this project developed 5 hard sensors and 8 soft sensors that provide real-time quality data. This allows you to react quickly without needing expensive new infrastructure.
If you are a water treatment plant designer dealing with strict EU Drinking Water Directive requirements — this project developed a model tool to explore different design options. This helps you build modular plants that are easier to adapt to new pollutants.
If you are a filtration material producer dealing with the rise of PFAS contamination — this project developed a specific material designed to remove PFAS chemicals. This provides a validated technical basis for creating high-efficiency removal products.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost details for the sensors and tools are not provided.
The project is testing solutions across 5 demo cases in the Netherlands, Greece, Switzerland, France, and Czech Republic to ensure they work in real-world water systems.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP rights or licensing terms.
Yes, the project specifically supports the implementation of the revised EU Drinking Water Directive by improving risk assessment and management.
The project is developing interoperable decision tools and portable sensors designed to be easy to use for water supply operators.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 11 industrial partners (61% ratio), including 5 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 3 universities and 2 research institutes across 8 countries, suggests a high focus on practical application and market viability rather than pure theory.
