KWR: 6 Themes (~ 50 KWR projects)

Resource recovery from the water cycleDefinition of resources

WATER

Reuse of treated water

ENERGY

Thermal

Chemical: e.g. Biogas fromorganics

COMPOUNDS / ‘by-products’

Organics (PHA, cellulose, etc)

Nutrients (N, P, K, S, Mg, Ca, etc.)

Metals

Drinking water productionresiduals (iron oxide, lime, etc.)


INTEGRAL

e.g. study of resources flows within an airport, city, hospital, etc.

Resource recovery from the water cycleTKI Water Technology projects

WATER• Effluent reuse: smart

implementation of modular

sustainable WWTP (finished)

• Effluent reuse: storage of clean

effluent in aquifer for greenhouses

• ZLD: processing of the concentrate

and IEX regenerate

• Forward osmosis

• Eutectic freeze crystallisation

ENERGY

Thermal:• Thermal energy from drinking water

‘Calorics’

• Energetic decontamination: aquifer

thermal energy storage & UV

treatment

Biogas from organics:• Cavitation: new technology for

sludge desintegration

COMPOUNDS / ‘by-products’• Sustainable airport cities:

phosphorus recovery

• Granular iron for phosphate,

arsenic and H2S binding

• Pure lime pellets production

• NOMixed: treatment IEX regenerate

by EDR & reuse of humic acids

• EuRyDice : resource recovery from

industrial wastewater

• Power to Protein


INTEGRAL• Sustainable hospital Hilversum

• Closing cycles: cleantech playground Amsterdam

Modular, sustainable WWTPHow to supply clean effluent for horticulture and industry

Determine the possibilities of matching water

demand and supply in two case-study areas in

Limburg

Saves costs and energy when a WWTP needs

large-scale renovation or replacement, or when a

new plant is to be built


Water reuse in horticultureWith the use of the underground

Aim: Reducing use of fresh water &

matching availability and use of fresh water

Concept:

Use the underground for storage and quality improvement

Projects:

- TOM Dinteloord: water from sugar factory

- Prominent: effluent from sewage treatment plant

Activities:• Exploratory drilling• Groundwater sampling• Sediment analyses• Design pilot set-up• Impact assessment• Permitting


Freshkeeper: keep your water wells freshPrevent saltwater intrusion to freshwater wells

Aim: counteract salinization of water wells

Concept: (1) intercept (pump) intruding brackish water;

(2A) dispose brackish water (deep well injection) or (2B)

use it as additional freshwater source after BWRO

Projects:

- Full scale pilots (2x) at Vitens, Noardburgum

- Pre-study (2015) & pilot (2016) in Venice, Fl.

- Pre-study (2015) & pilot (2016) in Mexico

- EU project: replication pilots Denmark, Greece


Integral ZLD-concept for greenhousesZero emission of N en P

Phase 1: integral ZLD-concept for greenhouses

• Zero emission of N and P by 2027

• Reuse of blow down stream in agriculture

• Removal of plant protection products, growth

inhibitors and pathogens

Phase 2: Proof of Principle

• Pilot tests

STOFSTROMEN TUINBOUW


Eutectic Freeze Crystallisation (EFC)Treatment of ion exchange (IEX) regenerate

- Concept EFC: ice and salt formation by cooling brine

- Aim: IEX regenerate treatment and reuse

- Pilot scale, field conditions, different locations


Calorics

Goal

Study the technical and financial feasibility of

measures to retain a climate-proof distribution

network.

Measures may be needed to prevent unwanted

warming and aftergrowth in the distribution network

due by climate changes.

Recycling of thermal energy with the use of ATES

(Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage).


Bring the resource to the recoveryNew sewage concepts

Aim: concentrate sewage, smaller sewage system

• Disconnect household water from drainage

• More water efficient toilets

• Organic kitchen waste into the sewer

Toward smaller diameters

• Inclination angle is the determining factor, not the diameter

I.a. researching clogging:

3 domains :

1. Households

2. Sewage / municipality

3. Sewage treatment


Sustainable airport citiesStruvite from wastewater

• Promote cooperate social responsibility between

aviation and water sector

• Use innovative technology for phosphorus

recovery from wastewater and apply the

recovered phosphorus locally as fertilizer

STRUVITE FROM WASTEWATER SCHIPHOL

32

Activities :- Technology selection- Pilot research- Chemical & microbiological

analysis of struvite- Application?


Granular iron (hydr)oxide from iron sludgeAdding value to an existing by-product

• Strength of iron sludge: binding ofP, As and S

• Weakness: low permeability, highcontent of water

Opportunities :

There is a market for bindingphosphate in surface water, arsenicremoval for drinking water productionand preventing odour from biogasinstallations

Challenge:

Is it possible to produce granular iron(hydr)oxide with good mechanicalcharacteristics, constant quality andaffinity for P, As and S?


Pure lime pellets production from water softeningCalcite as inoculum

Aims:

More sustainable and valorisation

Concept:

Replace inoculum water softening

Yield:

- Pure lime pellets, 1 component

- Controllable quality

- Achievable


Biosynthesis: Power to ProteinFrom wastewater to feed/food

The concept

Bacterial protein production from recovered gases

at sewage treatment plant.

Protein in feed or food.

Aim

Sufficient food, reduced environmental impact
