From waste water to RichWater, an innovative technology for combining treatment and reuse in agriculture
Updated on 21.06.2024
The main objective of RichWater project is the construction of a commercial prototype which combines water treatment with membranes and an adapted irrigation system so that the overall process is completely automated and operation and maintenance requirements are minimum. RichWater system comprises 4 individual modules: i) water treatment module, ii) mixing station, iii) fertigation module, and iv) control and monitoring module.
Relevance for Circular Systemic Solutions
This project offers reports especially useful for the technical assessment aspect of decision-making porcesses regarding wastewater treatment and reuse for agricultural purposes. The Environmental Technology Verification certificate, as well as the LCA and CBA reports provide insights into the performance of the innovation of the project. In this way, the project can help cities and regions in the Design phase of CSS deployment.
