Reducing fresh water consumption in high water volume consuming industries by recycling AOP-treated effluents (AOP4WATER)

AOP4WATER  is an ERA-NET CORNET project. It will provide information about water qualities which can be achieved by AOP-treatment and subsequent biological stage. For the first time knowledge will be available, if and to what extent the efficiency of ozone treatment can be improved by the use of AOP-combinations instead of ozone alone. Focus will be on the (re-)use of the different effluent qualities in the production process. Waste water will be provided by paper mills, food and textile industry and municipalities and will be (re-)used in paper mills and textile factories. It will be found out, to what extent (re-)use is possible and how this will influence process water and product quality. There will be concepts available for implementing an advanced effluent treatment plant using AOP and for (re-)using the treated effluents. A decision-support tool will simplify selection of technologies for (re-)using treated waste water.
