  1. Dr. Thomas Track Perspectives towards Eco-efficient Management of Water in European Chemical Industry  

  2. Addressing interfaces Working towards ecoefficient management of water in European chemical industry: • Cooperation of chemical process industry and water industry • Linking platforms and networks • Joint implementation action plan (JIAP) • Fostering joint projects World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  3. JIAP – Specific actions  • Monitoring and Control • Alternative Water sources • Towards water loop closure • Advanced materials and surfaces • New design of processes • Water andwastewatertreatmenttechnologies • Valorisation of compoundsandenergyfrom (waste) waterstreams • New andupcomingindustrialdevelopments • Energy efficientindustrialwatermanagement World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  4. JIAP – Specific actions  Monitoring and Control • Robust real time online sensors incl. senor materials (e.g. nanosensors) • Real time / on-/inline monitoring of water quality  to support internal recycling and reuse,  focusing on advanced reuse and water loop closure • ICT tools and devices from static treatment technology performances to a dynamic operation performance adaptation of technology performance to treatment requirements of the incoming wastewater World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  5. Example: E4Water Case study Stream control to enhance in-process water loop closure by integrating biocidal with wastewater treatment technologies Site: different productionsites in Europe Production: liquid consumer goods products in Fabric Care, Home Care and Beauty Care Situation:highconcentratedwashwatergeneratedduringcleaningandsanitisation (COD 20,00 – 50,00 mg/l) Aim:-Cleaning and Sanitization water from liquid consumer goods products in Fabric Care, Home Care and Beauty Care -Progress beyondstateoftheart: combine „wastewatertreatment“ technologyand „pasteurization/sterilisation“ technologyto recycle highconcentratedwashwatergeneratedduringcleaningandsanitisation • Segregation/separation option: Conductivity sensor to detect a low concentrated stream (less than 0.5%) World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  6. JIAP – Specific actions  Alternative Water sources: cascade use, reuse, symbiosis, rainwater • Assessment of water quality demands, to enable optimal reuse Selective removal of pathogens and other compounds limiting further use of water streams  Selective removal/recovery of valuables (e.g. N,P,K for agriculture) • Reliable treatment adapted to a high variability of influents  load, composition and quantity (on each industrial sector, urban area) • Alternative sources: rainwater World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  7. Example: E4Water Costal Area Case Mild desalination of water streams for optimum reuse in industry or agriculture at affordable costs , Southern Netherlands • Site: In thesouth of theNetherlands, closetothecommunity • Production: plastics/ chemicals • Situation: • Scarefreshwaterregion • Relative dilutedwaterstreamswith different flows • Objectives/Challenges: • use more streams in the region (rain water, agriculture, municipal and industrial waste water) • find the possibility to collect and desalinate all streams for low cost water management. World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  8. JIAP – Specific actions  Towards water loop closure: Internal recycling and reuse, focusing on sustainable/advanced reuse • Resolving the concentrate bottle neck (e.g. brines) in water loop closure  Water-energy-economy nexus  decouple / reduce the dependency between loop closure and energy demand Novel concentrate treatment options (such as membrane crystallization) • Technologies to avoid accumulation of critical substances that prevent recycling and reuse e.g. trace compounds, hygienic aspects World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  9. Example: E4Water Loop ClosureCase Ensure process continuation by closing the water loop and minimizing fresh water use , Northern Spain Site: North of Spanien, region of Barcelona Produktion: PVC, Vinyl products Situation: - Waste water has complex organic load, high flow - Fresh water limitations - Emissions taxes - Plant capacity increase • Objectives: • Water-loop closure for PVC process up to 90% • Management of the concentrates • Pre-basic design World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  10. JIAP – Specific actions  Advanced materials and surfaces for integrated/sustainable industrial water management • Intelligent surfaces  Reduction of fouling and scaling  Materials for leakage reduction • Advanced/multifunctional materials  Combining functions, enhance capacity … • Catalysts for energy & process efficiency • Corrosion reduction in industrial water systems  Materials, surfaces, coatings World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  11. JIAP – Specific actions  New design of processes: Processesusinglesswater - Sustainableuse of water in processes • Design of products ensure sustainable wastewater treatment during the use and disposal phases of products. • Reduce the energy levels in production water and steam related production processes • ReactionandProcess Design (RPD)optimisationorredesign of industrialprocesses • Biotech processes in industrial water management • Efficient water use in the production of bio-based platform chemicals supporting a sustainable bio-based economy World Water Week 2013 – T.

Example: E4Water Biotech Case Bioextraction technology in a symbiotic industrial wastewater treatment concept creating added value ,Denmark Site: Sjælland, North-East Denmark • Objectives: • innovative symbiotic treatment concept • Industrial symbiotic setup: continuous operation of high performance microalgae waste water treatment combined with biomass production • Reused by microalgae: Residual streams such as exess steam, heat, nutrients, carbon dioxid and natural sunlight • Create added value through the obtainment of purified water and valuable compounds from algae biomass. • The resulting configuration of technologies will be generically applicable as symbiotic treatment concept in industrial symbiosis, industry parks and large industry sites World Water Week 2013 – T. Track

  13. JIAP – Specific actions  Water andwastewatertreatmenttechnologies • Chemical and biotech solutions/products for water and wastewater treatment Reduced environmental impact, optimised dosing, more selective reaction and energy optimisation • Hybrid processes e.g. combining photocatalysis and membrane techniques • Low energy water treatment processes e.g. pressure reduction in membrane technologies (e.g. forward osmosis  e.g. power generation from salinity gradients World Water Week 2013 – T.
