WTG'S OBJECTIVES

  • Support the water sector to improve and ensure environmental protection and become more adaptive in order to respond to current environmental and social challenges. Introduce innovative technological solutions for resource recovery and wastewater management.
  • Present and scale eco-innovative solutions to improve existing WWTPs. This will be accomplished by applying low-carbon footprint technologies to ensure the high quality of recovered materials in treatment and in turn demonstrate the viability of the full recycle chain.

ROL DE WTG

  • Application and validation of the real-time energy consumption and carbon footprint monitoring for the SMART processes.
  • Customization, installation and supervision of the energy monitoring systems used in the data management platform.
