INDUSTRIAL WATER CIRCULARITY: REUSE, RESOURCE RECOVERY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR GREENER DIGITISED EU PROCESSES

Project description

Developing novel industrial circular water systems

There are serious challenges regarding ecological sustainability, water sustainability, and water waste. The immense amounts of water used and the waste produced in industrial manufacturing sectors can significantly damage the environment. The EU-funded RESURGENCE project aims to research industrial water circularity and previous and current solutions for these challenges. It will then work to develop novel, more efficient industrial circular water systems that could benefit not only climate neutrality goals, but also competitiveness. The project will operate on four case studies in different industrial sectors, testing innovative solutions with the help of experts and specialists from 11 countries.

Objective

RESURGENCE addresses industrial circular water systems in a wide perspective which embraces efficient technologies for water circularity, energy and feedstock recovery, with the aim of contribute to EU climate neutrality, circularity, and competitiveness.
RESURGENCE will work in 4 case studies that include 3 industrial sectors – Pulp&Paper, Chemical and Steel – as well as a 4th case to explore the synergies between urban water treatment and industries.
Innovative solutions will be tested for water treatment – membranes, electrochemical technologies, adsorbents, advanced oxidation processes and hybrid biological systems – exploring also the recovery of energy (heat, electricity, biogas, H2) and feedstocks ( bioactive fenols, biopolymers, cellulose, lignin, latex, acrylic polymers, phosphate & nitrogen, biochar, MOFs and metals, including Critical Raw Materials). Digital tools will be also developed and applied, including models for energy, water and risk management, physical and software sensors for data acquisition, digital twins, and decision-support tools enabling optimal water treatment technology set-up and day-to-day operation with seized flexibility opportunities on smart grids.
The project will be guided by a comprehensive sustainability and economic assessment to support by evidence the gains of these technologies, togheter with H&S analysis. Local effects multiplication of case studies is pursued by promoting seeds of future hubs for circularity. A comprehensive consortium of 20 partners from 11 countries covering the whole geographical scope of the EU, and with international cooperation with Turkey and Pakistan will work together to achieve significant outcomes and produce long-term impact.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
