Das EU-finanzierte Projekt DEMEAU: Demonstration von Technologien zur Behandlung neuer Schadstoffe in der Wasser- und Abwasserreinigung organisierte den sechsten in der Reihe der Utility-Event in Roetgen, nahe Aachen am 11. Juni 2015. Teilnehmende waren Wissenschaftler, Anwender des Wassersektors und Experten auf dem Gebiet der Automatic Neural Net Control System (ANCS) und Membranfiltration.
Several DEMEAU partners attended the Micropol & Ecohazard Conference and took part in panels and poster presentations. In connection with the conference, project representatives met on June 19 and 20 to discuss the project’s progress. Visits at partner utilities in Zurich gave a first impression of the implementation of the new technologies.

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 stimulate the application of ceramic membranes by addressing the following aspects:
The EU funded project DEMEAU kicked off on 8 and 9 November at Dunea, the water utility of The Hague and its surrounding area. The event marks the beginning of a three-year demonstration of promising technologies that tackle emerging pollutants in water and waste water.
