Energy-efficient, community- based water and wastewater-treatment systems for deployment in India

    Project Details

    Description

    The overall aim of ECO-India is to design and develop innovative cost-effective solutions for community- based water- and wastewater- treatment systems. These systems will be deployed at pilot sites in arsenic-affected water-stressed regions in India. The two consortia, Indian (DST) and European (FP7), will establish pilot schemes for:
    • Catchment area and reservoir management
    • Surface water supply schemes
    • Arsenic removal (including monitoring using UFZ’s field-tested Arsolux arsenic sensor)
    • Disinfection treatment for potable water based on Trustwater’s CE-certified mixed-oxidant generation systems.
    • Online monitoring of water quality
    • Water distribution network, together with online/offline water quality monitoring programmes
    • Sewerage and wastewater treatment.
    In addition, prototype energy-efficient modules for water deionisation and heavy metal removal will be developed.
    A feasibility study will be performed to assess the potential for energy harvesting from sludge.
