SOLAR DRIVEN ELECTROLYSIS FOR INLINE OXIDANT PRODUCTION

Transcription

1 SOLAR DRIVEN ELECTROLYSIS FOR INLINE OXIDANT PRODUCTION A NEW METHOD FOR THE REMOVAL OF EMERGING CONTAMINANTS AND PATHOGENS FROM DRINKING AND WASTE WATER TECO Joint Workshop 2017, , India Habitat Centre, New Delhi Dr. Konrad Siegfried, Autarcon GmbH, Germany siegfried@autarcon.com

2 AUTARCON Germany Based in Kassel Germany Founded 2010 for profit as University spin-off As research driven SME active in 10 countries worldwide Research in Water disinfection by electrolytic in-situ chlorination Arsenic, Iron and Manganese removal Online water quality monitoring and GSM based data transfer Business generation and payment schemes (Water ATMs, PayTM, etc.)

3 AUTARCON Germany Research Projects FP7 projects: SWINGS Water disinfection by electrolytic in-situ chlorination in India Horizon 2020: INCOVER Reuse of waste water, resource recovery AquaNES Treatment of river bank water in India (Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan, HTW Dresden) BMBF projects: UFCl2 Developing solar powered water filtration and disinfection SolArEx Solar driven electrolytic arsenic removal & online monitoring in West Bengal, India Toxidation Energy efficient oxidation of emerging contaminants in drinking water

4 Inline-Electrolytic Oxidant production as robust solution for removal of emerging contaminants Cl 2 + H 2 O HOCl + H 3 O + + Cl - Natural mineral content of water is sufficient Reliable disinfection without any chemicals Disinfection controlled by sensors Capacity up to 20 m 3 /day Solar energy supply

9 SWINGS AMU Pilot Sites

10 Topics of Interest Project Idea 1: Advanced oxidation (AO) water treatment system for degradation of emerging contaminants in drinking and waste water Project Idea 2: Efficient (re)use of water, rainwater treatment Project Idea 3: Arsenic removal technology - improve TR Level to be ready for Indian Market uptake and advance for fluoride removal Project Idea 3: Implementation of new cost efficient sensors (e.g. Chlorine, As), cost efficient online monitoring platform for decentralized water treatment stations and online payment schemes. Wang et al., 2016

11 Profile of partners sought Consortia leaders Research institutions (water treatment, degradation & detection pharmaceuticals, disinfection byproducts) Industry and Indian implementation partners Governmental Institutions (PHED, local control boards)

12 Partner Profile Well established in Indian research society Good access to pilot sites in WB, UK, UP and MP Well experienced in system implementation in India (We get it done) Manpower in India Scientific capacity Development of control algorithms for treatment stations Development of pilot stations to work in field (not only lab) Basic but robust working field test equipment Online monitoring Solar power supply of treatment stations and monitoring systems Data evaluation and publishing

13 AUTARCON SCADA System GSM GSM Wifi to GSM Automated station evaluation and troubleshooting Decentralized SuMeWa SYSTEM operation

14 Prepaid water taps Performance & water quality control by remotely controlled sensor systems Optimization of prepaid payment system of Autarcon, development of GSM based payment system and central ICT fleet management of treatment plants Easy handling and generation of income and incentive for maintenance
