Background

The aim of the S³Rem innovation network is to develop innovative, intelligent, efficient and sustainable solutions to reduce the input of anthropogenic substances (particulate materials and dissolved trace substances) into the environment. S³Rem is not limited to emissions from wastewater treatment plants, but considers all relevant emission pathways that are responsible for the entry of these substances into the environment.

The innovative technologies should not only retain particulate materials of all grain sizes, but also take into account different pollution load qualities. They must also be resilient to future increases in extreme conditions (heavy rainfall events, long dry periods), which are associated with highly variable pollutant loads. Demand-based wastewater treatment should also improve water quality, enable reuse and thus counteract the increasing scarcity of water.

 

Objective

In order to achieve the objective, modular and easily scalable systems must be developed for which digitalisation (including measurement data acquisition, data evaluation, control algorithms) plays a central role as a controlling element. In addition, transferable solutions from other specialised fields are to be considered. As development and utilisation go hand in hand at S³Rem, trials of prototypes, as well as laboratory and semi-technical tests, will define the later application maturity for municipalities at an early stage.
