Hydronet

The project objective is to develop the design, production, and implementation of a decentralized water treatment system for deployment in Switzerland as well as in emerging markets. In Switzerland, many plants need to be modernized. In view of massive environmental challenges, emerging markets urgently require water treatment solutions that are flexible and adaptive, as well as effective for a range of waste water types and high volumes, while being affordable. Stringent environmental standards for effluents must be met. Therefore, the project addresses the necessary aspects to satisfy these requirements. This includes a modular systems approach to create a network of smaller, localized, interlinked and waste-specific purification plants to form a “Hydronet” and the use of space saving air flotation technology an advanced IT solution for real-time, remote management of the units, allow for significant cost savings both in the production and operation of the systems.
