Aim of the FlexTreat project is the investigation of novel process combinations for enhanced wastewater treatment for agricultural wate reuse. Both, risk management with a focus on enhanced treatment goals, as well as digital solutions for process control are included. |
| Goal 1 |
Development and application of scientific and technical guidelines for the safe use of treated wastewater and surface water heavily affected by wastewater for agricultural irrigation, domestically and internationally. |
| Goal 2 |
Investigation and optimization of the purification performance of innovative advanced wastewater treatment processes with respect to a wide range of physical, chemical and microbiological water quality parameters, including antibiotic resistance and trace organic contaminants. |
| Goal 3 |
Demonstrate the benefits of Digital Green Tech, such as digital twins, online simulation, machine learning or the use of mobile applications, for process monitoring and optimization. |
| Goal 4 |
Demonstrate safe water reuse application in agriculture via a combination of risk assessment and risk management across the complete system of wastewater treatment basin, wastewater treatment, advanced treatment, storage, distribution, and irrigation to agricultural product. |
| Goal 5 |
Demonstrating the feasibility and supported dissemination of the developed concepts and technologies for water reuse in agriculture domestically and internationally, including the development of stakeholder oriented communication. |
| Goal 6 |
Develop inputs for implementation guidelines, including an integrated approach to risk management and a guidance document on "Technologies for Safe Water Reuse in Agriculture" that takes into account the new European requirements. |
