Objective Taking into account the current global water scarcity and the expensive operation and maintenance cost of wastewater treatment, INCOVER concept has been designed to move wastewater treatment from being primarily a sanitation technology towards a bio-product recovery industry and a recycled water supplier. A wastewater specific Decision Support System methodology will be tailored to the INCOVER technologies and provide data and selection criteria for a holistic wastewater management approachThree added-value plants treating wastewater from three case-studies (municipalities, farms and food and beverage industries) will be implemented, assessed and optimised concurrently. INCOVER plants will be implemented at demonstration scale in order to achieve Technology Readiness Level(TRL) of 7-8 to ensure straightforward up scaling to 100,000 population equivalents (PE). INCOVER added-value plants will generate benefits from wastewater offering three recovery solutions: 1) Chemical recovery (bio-plastic and organic acids) via algae/bacteria and yeast biotechnology; 2) Near-zero-energy plant providing upgraded bio-methane via pre-treatment and anaerobic co-digestion systems; 3) Bio-production and reclaimed water via adsorption, biotechnology based on wetlands systems and hydrothermal carbonisation. To improve added-value production efficiency, INCOVER solutions will include monitoring and control via optical sensing and soft-sensorsINCOVER solutions will reduce at least a 50% overall operation and maintenance cost of wastewater treatment through the use of wastewater as a source for energy demand and added-value production to follow UE circular economy strategy. In addition, strategies to facilitate the market uptake of INCOVER innovations will be carried out in order to close the gap between demonstration and end-usersAn estimated turnover of 188 million€ for INCOVER lead-users is expected after the initial exploitation strategy of 5 years implementing 27 INCOVER solutions Fields of science engineering and technologyother engineering and technologiesfood technologyengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringwater treatment processeswastewater treatment processesengineering and technologyenvironmental biotechnologybioremediationbioreactorsengineering and technologycivil engineeringwater engineeringirrigationengineering and technologyindustrial biotechnologybiomaterialsbioplastics Keywords Wastewater added-value plant DSS optical sensing and control PHA and organic acids from wastewater anaerobic co-digestion near-zero-energy plant irrigation water Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.5. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Climate action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials Main Programme H2020-EU.3.5.4. - Enabling the transition towards a green economy and society through eco-innovation Topic(s) WATER-1b-2015 - Demonstration/pilot activities Call for proposal H2020-WATER-2014-2015 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-WATER-2015-two-stage Funding Scheme IA - Innovation action Coordinator ASOCIACION DE INVESTIGACION METALURGICA DEL NOROESTE Net EU contribution € 596 562,50 Address CALLE RELVA TORNEIROS 27A 36410 Porrino Spain See on map Region Noroeste Galicia Pontevedra Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 596 562,50 Participants (19) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all FCC AQUALIA SA Spain Net EU contribution € 615 037,50 Address CALLE FEDERICO SALMON 13 28016 Madrid See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Total cost € 903 625,00 Third-party Legal entity other than a subcontractor which is affiliated or legally linked to a participant.
