IMPACT
Water scarcity is not only ecological phenomena for the world, but it is also directly related with economy, energy, industrial investments and social life. The use of wastewater is one of the most sustainable alternatives to cope with water shortage TRUST’s expected added values from the technical solutions are multiple:
- to close the loop in case of water and valuable substances (for example, to allow water reuse allocation for different purposes (irrigation, in industrial process, in aquifer recharge); to use the recovered salt further in textile dyeing processes; to combine recovery/savings of valuable resources and energy,
- to enhance the use of chemicals with less environmental impacts while efficiently depolluting wastewaters, and c) to give clues to adapt these innovative treatment processes to other industries’ wastewaters in a circular economy approach.
TRUST’s implemented wastewater treatment technologies will consider the quality of the treated water to be reused and overall sustainability by applying Life Cycle and Life Cycle Costing Assessment tools.
TRUST Target: Decrease of Water Exploitation Index by 5% and increase of
Water Distribution Efficiency by 10%.
