Objective Beside the lacking access to clean drinking water, the world are increasingly affected by natural disasters which require emergency water supply. Current water treatment systems require that they are designed to the specific water type and type of pollution which make them less suitable as emergency water suppliers. The existing mobile systems today are either not capable of cleaning the water sufficiently or too expensive for the end-users. The project concern development of an autonomous and standardised container-based water treatment unit aimed at selected market segments, with a special emphasis on developing countries and regions. The unit should be designed around flexible modules including pre-treatment, NF or RO membranes and post treatment, allowing it to be fitted to operate optimally under any given condition in a segment. The water treatment units must be able to operate decentralized in areas that are difficult to reach or have limited water resources necessitating water purification in order to guarantee safe drinking water for the population. The modulated design will make it possible to fit a standard unit to any of the given water resources and achieve optimal operation. The project will focus on two water types: Groundwater of brackish nature and surface water. The pre-treatment module will be flexible to be able to adapt to any given challenge the current water resource will show. The core will be a ceramic membrane treatment able to reliably filter out any particulate matter and dramatically reduce any micro-organisms present. Optionally a combined AOP and Activated Carbon treatment can be added after the ceramic membran Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringwater treatment processesdrinking water treatment processesnatural sciencesearth and related environmental scienceshydrologyengineering and technologychemical engineeringseparation technologiesdesalinationreverse osmosisnatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesphysical geographynatural disastersengineering and technologymaterials engineeringceramics Keywords Filtration Potable water production Water treatment Programme(s) FP7-SME - Specific Programme "Capacities": Research for the benefit of SMEs Topic(s) SME-1 - Research for SMEs Call for proposal FP7-SME-2008-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme BSG-SME - Research for SMEs Coordinator EMF ENVIROTEC A/S EU contribution € 708 924,00 Address FORMERVANGEN 36 2600 GLOSTRUP Denmark See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Kent Lückstädt Nielsen (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (8) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all TUA ENGINEERING LTD Malta EU contribution € 205 123,00 Address GUARDAMANGIA HILL 62 PTA4131 PIETA See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Arthur Tua (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data LIQTECH INTERNATIONAL A/S Denmark EU contribution € 171 184,00 Address INDUSTRIPARKEN 22C 2750 Ballerup See on map Region Danmark Hovedstaden Københavns omegn Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Thomas Eilkær Hansen (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data LENNTECH BV Netherlands EU contribution € 126 138,00 Address DISTRIBUTIEWEG 3 2645 EG Delfgauw See on map Region West-Nederland Zuid-Holland Agglomeratie ’s-Gravenhage Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact David Van Lennep (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data TORDEN INTERNATIONAL LIMITED Nigeria EU contribution € 17 798,00 Address CONSTITUTION AVENUE - HAFSAT PLAZA - CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT 472 234 ABUJA See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Emmanuel Benjamin (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Total cost No data STIFTELSEN CHALMERS INDUSTRITEKNIK Sweden EU contribution No data Address SVEN HULTINS PLATS 1 412 58 Goteborg See on map Region Södra Sverige Västsverige Västra Götalands län Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Henric Rhedin (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data INSTITUTO SUPERIOR TECNICO Portugal EU contribution No data Address AVENIDA ROVISCO PAIS 1 1049 001 Lisboa See on map Region Continente Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Área Metropolitana de Lisboa Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Teresa Malhoa (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data DHI Denmark EU contribution No data Address AGERN ALLE 5 2970 HOERSHOLM See on map Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Gert Holm Kristensen (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Ministry of Health and Social Welfare Tanzania EU contribution € 1 400,00 Address PO box 9083 Dar es Salaam See on map Activity type Public bodies (excluding Research Organisations and Secondary or Higher Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data
