Within Work Area 5 of the DEMEAU project, selected innovative technologies and tools for emerging contaminants removal and monitoring are assessed in their environmental and economic benefits and impacts by using life-cycle based tools such as environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and economic Life Cycle Costing (LCC). Six case studies were ass...

In recent decades, emerging contaminants (ECs) have surfaced as one of the key environmental problems threatening ecosystems and public health. Most emerging contaminants are present in low concentrations, and therefore often remain undetected and are also referred to as 'micropollutants'. Despite this, many ECs raise considerable concerns regarding their impacts on human and environmental health. DEMEAU (Demonstration of promising technologies to address emerging contaminants in water and wastewater), a European Seventh Framework Programme (EU-FP7, 2013-2015) project, aimed to tackle ECs in drinking and wastewater by advancing the uptake of knowledge, prototypes, practices and removal technologies. The project followed a solutions-oriented approach using applied research and demonstration sites, and explored four promising technologies for EC removal and/or degradation: Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR), Hybrid Ceramic Membrane Filtration (HCMF), Automatic Neural Net Control Systems (ANCS) and Advanced Oxidation Techniques (AOT). Furthermore, Bioassays (BA) were investigated as an effect-based monitoring tool. This article shares new findings for each approach and their potential for widespread integration in the drinking-and wastewater sector. Research results from DEMEAU demonstration sites show that opportunities for synergies among these developments offer the most promising and effective methods for tackling ECs in the water sector.
... The Annexes A to E contain results from work area specific workshops and interviews, which build a part of the recommendations for impact. Further basis of these recommendations are environmental and economic unique selling propositions reported in DEMEAU deliverable 51.1 ('Unique selling propositions', Remy et al. 2015A) and results from the drivers and barriers analysis reported in DEMEAU deliverable 52.2 ('Implementation barriers', Pieron and van der Zouwen 2014). ...
... 2 Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR)This section of the report provides recommendations for impact developed for Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR). The recommendations are based on detailed Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), Life Cycle Costings (LCC) and drivers and barriers analyses with a stakeholder workshop and additional information that are provided in the following documents: Demeau D51.1: Unique Selling Propositions(Remy et al. 2015A). Results and discussion of LCA and LCC analyses. ...
This document brings together recommendations for impact in the water market which were elaborated for water technologies to eliminate emerging contaminants from wastewater or drinking water and to detect contaminations based on their effects. The recommendations provided in this document were developed within the DEMEAU project funded under the 7 th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development of the EU. The aim of DEMEAU was to promote the uptake of knowledge, prototypes and best practices from previous EU research in order to enable the water sector to face emerging contaminants and therewith secure water and wastewater services and public health. Recommendations in this document are specific for five different technologies: managed aquifer recharge (MAR), hybrid ceramic membrane filtration (HCMF), automatic neural net control (ANCS), advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) and in-vitro bioassays for effects-based screening. These recommendations capitalize on sustainability assessments conducted in the DEMEAU project and portrait outcomes from environmental life cycle analyses (LCAs), economic life cycle costings (LCCs) and social drivers and barriers analyses.
