CircSyst solutions for water management

DEMO 1: Reuse of Industrial Treated Waste water through On-Demand Treatment and Management

Location: Riba-roja (ValencianCommunity, Spain)

Demo 1, managed by AIDIMME and Hidraqua, showcases smart wastewater management for diverse industrial uses, including irrigation, cleaning, and firefighting. Using advanced membrane filtration and AI, treated wastewater is adjusted to the quality needed by different industries. This innovative system forecasts water demand and optimises production to ensure efficient reuse, demonstrating scalable solutions for sustainable water management.


DEMO 2: Agricultural and Utilities Uses for Reclaimed Urban Water

Location: Podravje (Slovenia)

Coordinated by Regional Development Agency for Podravje – Maribor, DEMO 2 explores the reuse of treated urban wastewater for agricultural applications, such as irrigation, indoor farming, and utilities. The pilot will develop and test processes to clean municipal wastewater, making it suitable for reuse in agriculture, including livestock drinking water and washing. This innovative solution aims to close the water loop by creating a sustainable system for the agricultural industry.


DEMO 3: Smart Wastewater Management as a Solution to Water Scarcity and Floods in Urban Areas

Location: Flanders (Belgium)

DEMO 3 in Flanders focuses on smart wastewater management to tackle urban water scarcity and flooding. Using ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, treated sewage effluent is stored in dune aquifers and reused as drinking water. The pilot also explores innovative nature-based solutions, such as willow fields, to treat concentrated pollutants. Led by Vito, Aquaduin, and Aquafin, this project aims to optimise water recovery and implement smart water buffering systems, providing a circular solution to urban water challenges.


DEMO 4: Integrated Tools and Methodologies for Smart Water Symbiosis Management

Location: Visby (Sweden)

DEMO 4 in Visby aims to demonstrate smart water symbiosis by integrating tools to overcome challenges like flow variations, storage needs, and quality requirements. The project includes dynamic water flow modelling at various scales, testing water treatment technology, and assessing microbiological risks. Led by RISE, this pilot will involve collaboration with local stakeholders, including the Region Gotland, Arla Foods, Protos AB, and GotlandsHem, to develop a sustainable, symbiotic water management system.
