RTC4Water - July 2022

Water management is an ever-evolving field and RTC4Water is at the forefront of the latest developments.

We are thrilled to announce that we have made significant progress in optimizing sewage overflows during rain events with our new product, LINKWATER.

This innovative technology addresses the limitations of the current state-of-the-art VOLUME-based methodology by introducing a load-based system that reduces the flow to the river during a rain event. Our team has successfully conducted a proof of concept test for the load-based overflow optimization and the results are impressive. The new system did 29.7% better in reducing the flow in the left tank that had a lower concentration, compared to the old volume-based system.

This is a major milestone in our mission to provide innovative solutions that benefit our clients and the environment. Our dedicated team, led by PhD student Rodrigo Gesser, has worked tirelessly to bring this product to life.

We extend our gratitude to our funding partners, the Luxembourg ministries of Economy and Finance, for their support.

At RTC4Water, we are proud to be leading the way in revolutionizing sewage overflow control.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates from our team as we continue to push the boundaries of water management.

Innovations in Water Management

Our Latest Achievements and Developments

Water management is an ever-evolving field, and our team at RTC4Water is at the forefront of the latest developments.

We are proud to announce our recent successes, which showcase our dedication to finding innovative solutions to the challenges faced in this field.

 

Firstly, we are delighted to share that our joint application with the University of Luxembourg to the FNR for an Industrial Fellowship has been approved!

 

This achievement is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of our team, and we extend our gratitude to everyone who contributed to this success.

We would like to give a special thank you to Rodrigo Gesser, who took the lead in writing the proposal.

We are excited to continue our research in the areas of water and wastewater with this support.

 

In addition, we have made significant progress in optimizing sewage overflows during rain events with our product, LINKWATER.

While our VOLUME-based system is already highly effective, we identified a remaining problem with this methodology: it is possible to have a small sewer overflow with a high concentration into a small river on one side of the sewer system, while on the other side, a large volume with a low concentration is "successfully" prevented from overflowing. To address this, we have developed a prototype product that minimizes the LOAD going to the river during a rain event, which has shown promising results in initial simulations. Our PhD student, Rodrigo Gesser, played a key role in this development, and we extend our thanks to him.

Finally, we are excited to attend IFAT, where we will showcase our latest developments, including load-based control and our new water quality module.

We welcome you to visit us at the stands of our partners, Rittmeyer and DHI, and see these innovations in action.

 

At RTC4Water, we remain committed to pushing the boundaries of water management and developing solutions that benefit both our clients and the environment.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates from our team. #Water #wastewater #sewer
