  2. Water and Wastewater Research – CoEI, NUI Galway • WATER TREATMENT • WATER SUPPLY AND CONSUMPTION • WASTEWATER TREATMENT (ANAEROBIC AND AEROBIC) • WATER AND WASTEWATER SENSORS • REMOTE CONTROL AND MONITORING OF WATER/WASTEWATER SYSTEMS • ENERGY AND WASTEWATER • ENERGY AND SLUDGE College of Engineering and Informatics/ Ryan Institute for the Environment, Marine & Energy

  3. Consortium Overview

  4. Facilities - Water Research Facility

  5. Commercialisation example - PFBR Moneygall - PFBR no desludging after 2 years PFBR cost: 0.22 kWh/m3treated < cup of coffee per person per year!!) Shannonbridge

  6. ITWat: Innovative sensors and operational/control measures for wastewater monitoring: Application of Imaging Technology • The Project Development of smart ICT and image-based sensor technology to monitor and control the operational performance of wastewater treatment plants (patents under application). www.itwatproject.com College of Engineering and Informatics/ Ryan Institute for the Environment, Marine & Energy

  7. Development of KPI and benchmarking tools for WWTPs: • To quantify the resources consumed benchmarking through key performance indicators offers an effective and rapid solution. • This research focuses 3 main areas of consumption: • Energy, Chemical, Water College of Engineering and Informatics/ Ryan Institute for the Environment, Marine & Energy

  8. DairyWater: Technology development and • Technology development (IASBR, nano-material based treatment, pulsed UV systems) • Resource efficiency • Cost-benefit analysis www.dairywater.ie xinmin.zhan@nuigalway.ie College of Engineering and Informatics/ Ryan Institute for the Environment, Marine & Energy

  9. Ireland’s national Technology Centre for Biorefining & Bioenergy (TCBB) – co-hosted by NUI Galway in particular • Prof Vincent O’Flaherty – Acting Head of School of Natural Sciences, NUI Galway & PI at TCBB • Expertise in high-rate, low-temperature AD Wastewater Treatment • Wastewater’s potential for biogas (bioCH4) production • www.tcbb.iecontact@tcbb.ie

  10. TCBB industry member, NVP Energy - novel low-temperature anaerobic digestion wastewater technology originating from research and activity by Prof Vincent O’Flaherty and his research group at NUI, Galway.

  11. The NVP Energy technology was licensed from NUI, Galway in June 2013. • The process, which operates at temperatures <20◦C, treats effluent that originates from industrial and municipal sources, without the need for heat supply • In addition, the technology can reduce organic sludge volume by up to 90% when compared to aerobic systems. • The technology is very attractive as it has produced effluent which adheres to effluent release standards, e.g. Urban Wastewater Directive (UWWD) release standards, without the need for post-treatment. • contact@tcbb.ie
