UV-based and chemical oxidation processes are preferred treatment technologies for the elimination of emerging pollutants in drinking water and wastewater because of their flexibility, long-term stability, low costs, and controllability (cp. recent EU-projects as TECHNEAU, POSEIDON, THREE, NEPTUNE, RECLAIM WATER).

A number of European utilities in Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands have considered implementing oxidation-based technologies to enhance the treatment...Learn more

Polymeric membranes are widely used in water treatment to remove pathogens, particles and organics from surface, ground, process and filter backwash water. However, ceramic membranes are currently only used for these purposes in Japan. Because ceramic membranes are much more resilient under extreme conditions (e.g. temperature, pH and chemicals), they facilitate a more rigorous cleaning, resulting in a better overall filtration performance than that of polymeric membranes. DEMEAU will...Learn more

About DEMEAU

The water and waste water sector is facing tremendous challenges to assure safe, cost-effective and sustainable water supply and sanitation services. DEMEAU promotes the uptake of knowledge, prototypes and practices from previous EU research enabling the water cycle sector to face emerging pollutants and thus securing water and waste water services and public health.
