Description

Based on the AQUASAFE platform, the main goal of SW4E is to develop a decision tool for the energy and wastewater quality management facing the challenge of optimizing processes to reduce energy consumption and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

Objectives

  • Calibrate and validate the final product, applying it in two real cases: Alcântara e Frielas WWTP.
  • Develop an innovative tool for energy audits in WWTP
  • Evaluate and predict the wastewater quality to optimize the treatment processes
  • Develop an energy monitoring system
  • Develop an intelligent system for the energy management support in real time;

Results

The SW4E platform main outputs are:

  • Real time Energy data visualization;
  • A simplified flow and quality predictor;
  • Automatic simulations of mathematical models of WWTP;
  • Visualization of 3D images based on CFD models;
  • Energy measurement based on softsensors;
  • Energy costs based on processes changes;
  • Automatic reports.
