The goal of the project

THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT CONCERNS THE DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF THE ELECTROCHEMICAL WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

With implemented artificial intelligence procedures dedicated to identify and learn the most efficient operating parameters in order to dispose of a given mixture of contaminants

The main project objective is to develop, construct and validate system based on an intelligent electrochemical reactor – i-CLARE – for removal of harmful contaminants dissolved in water such as pesticides, antibiotics, dioxins, hormones and plant protection products etc

Impact

The application of the system will contribute to:

The project contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

New digital and low-power water treatment technology

Low-cost electrodes - affordable breakthrough innovation, which deploy a combination of advanced technologies and processes so as to extract maximum value from all resources

AI-aided system - improvement of physical environment in people's everyday life and at the workplace

Lower impact of pollution and other environmental issues reducing death and illness from exposure to chemicals and environmental pollution.

To support environmental-friendly, healthy, resilient and sustainable living and working environment

Outcomes

Increase of the of energy efficient use and selective resource management

Greater adaptation of cities to climate change, in a holistic approach, z with a focus on water treatment and waste treatment.

System will provide faster decontamination (50% faster) and a shorter disposal chain limiting logistics and illegal storage of harmful agents

Exchange of experience and know-how between entities involved in the project.

Strengthening of the bilateral cooperation between scientists from Poland and from Norway.

Participation of students and young researchers in the project will increase their competences and chances on the international labour market.
