Retrofit solution to increase resilience of urban wastewater infrastructure in areas of heavy rainfall
Description
Develop and validate a novel retrofit and upgrade solution for conventional activated sludge WWTPs and CSNs to reduce the discharge of untreated stormwater overflows in areas of heavy rainfall, thereby increasing their resilience.
- Reduce by up to 100% the discharge of untreated stormwater overflows in heavy precipitation areas.
- Increase the capacity of Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) by up to 600% using the existing area and infrastructures.
- Develop and validate two novel solutions for the upgrading of WWTP.
- Develop a tool using artificial intelligence to quantify groundwater infiltration and stormwater inflow to sewer networks.
- Assess the impact of climate change on urban wastewater infrastructures.
- Reduce energy consumption and pollutant gas emissions (CO2, N2O).
- Develop strategies to replicate the solutions in other WWTPs and locations with similar characteristicsIdentify the most beneficial intervention areas to reduce the volume of water to be treated.
ITG role: development of methodological AI tools and instruments to improve effective water cycle management.
