  • Description:
    The aim of the project is to collaborate to fulfil EU regulations concerning water pollution. A second aim of the project is to install a network of remotely controlled pollution sensors in sewage and industrial waste in urban and industrial regions. A third aim is to develop strategies for the collection and transfer of relevant data and for the treatment of hazardous chemicals. The project will unite four institutions in three countries to create and install a system of remotely controlled units to measure specific pollutants in sewage and industrial waste. It is intended to develop a monitoring system that can be transferred to other regions in the EU as it complies with EU regulations. With respect to the different conditions in the individual countries, different complementary strategies will be pursued and finally developed to form an operational unit. The investigations proposed will show how the task of environmental control and monitoring of hazards and accidents can be tackled under different administrative conditions. At different sites in the Saarland, in Luxembourg and in Nancy, sensor systems will be installed to monitor discharge into sewage networks and at the inlets and outlets of sewage plants to control their loads and efficiency. All these sensors will be assembled to automatic, remotely-controlled networks. Following a methodology that is currently being developed, a system of sensors in strategic positions within a network of sewers will track unwanted discharge and trigger measures to prevent them from becoming a danger for the sewage plants or the natural environment. Commercial instruments will be adapted to this use and analytical methods modified. Finally, data will be transferred to central monitors.
