DecS research project starts

@Urban Water Engineering

The DecS project pursues the vision of removing organic trace substances from wastewater streams in the most targeted manner possible and relieving the necessary use of resources of the available technologies (ozone, PAH, GAK).

DecS uses the driver of digitalization by intelligently processing continuously recorded measurement data from an online sensor system and linking it with digital model images. DecS investigates the real sustainability potential of digitized trace substance elimination and answers general questions about simulation-supported process optimization in water management plants.

The feasibility of large-scale implementation is being tested in digital real laboratories (Dülmen wastewater treatment plant, Bad Sassendorf wastewater treatment plant) in order to gain concrete experience in the interaction of digital instruments in the sense of a proof of concept.

In addition to the Department of Urban Water Management at the University of Kassel (network coordinator), the company UNISENSOR Sensorsysteme GmbH, the research institute ifak e.V., the engineering office Weber-Ingenieure GmbH and the Lippeverband are involved in the project implementation as practice partners.

DecS is funded as part of the "Digital GreenTech - Environmental Technology Meets Digitalization" funding guideline under the BMBF's "Natural.Digital.Sustainable" action plan. The project will run for two years.
