The innovative technology is composed of an instrument (LESSDRONE) for monitoring the oxygen transfer efficiency (OTE) in operating conditions and a user-friendly protocol for converting complex process information in actions aimed at minimizing WRRFs CFP and energy demand.
The reduction of energy costs and the minimization of GreenHouses Gases (GHGs) emissions, complying with the quality effluent limits, will improve the environmental and economic sustainability of WRRFs while reducing associated costs for citizens and industries.
The applicability and the suitability of the innovative tool will represent a crucial issue of the project in order to ensure the transferability to other WRRFs also operating in different contexts and industrial sectors.
The Lesswatt project will participate in international conferences taking place in different countries presenting the results of the project through oral presentations and scientific articles: EcoSTP 2021 – Milano (Italy)
In April and May 2021, the second of the 2 measurement campaigns planned at the San Colombano WRRF was completed. The campaign, which was intended to measure oxygen transfer and
