HOME > Objective   Objective Industrial objectives of IWAPIL The industrial objectives of the IWAPIL project can be summarised as follows: To develop and test a new MBR based on an innovative membrane and membrane module able to compete in price with existing systems (reasonable energy consumption, low membrane replacement rate, reduced cleaning chemicals use) for decentralised use in camping sites and hotels or small communities in isolated locations. To achieve much more efficient depuration rates than existing decentralised plants, allowing to meet the most stringent current and future regulations, and even to reuse the water due to the total absence of pathogens. To achieve a highly automated system with minimum maintenance which does not require skilled operators. The environmental and social objectives of the IWAPIL project are: To dramatically improve the environmental performance of decentralised wastewater plants all over Europe. To allow the saving of important amounts of water through reuse, and to reduce the generation of sludge (waste). To benefit the European tourism sector in remote areas through the effective conservation of the water resources, thus maintaining or creating new employments. To promote the creation of new employments in the European wastewater sector in order to produce and install the new decentralised MBR systems and their components. To promote the overall global competitiveness of the membrane sector for wastewater applications in Europe: it has to be mentioned that the PURON membrane system is the first totally European development in this field (the competing MBR systems are delivered by Canadian and Japanese companies) back to top
