SALWATERTWIN

The SALWATERTWIN project aims to conceptually design and validate, at a laboratory level, a small-scale, low-consumption semi-autonomous plant decentralised from general water distribution networks and infrastructures to treat the problem of salinity in groundwater.

This plant incorporates a digital twin that allows intelligent and efficient management, considering all the parameters that may occur in a real environment.

The project includes two phases: a first for research and a second for the development of a pilot that allows it to operate on a small scale and demonstrate the technical and economic viability of the technological solution.

This solution integrates advanced water treatment elements, along with digital technologies currently available in large complex water treatment plants, but rarely used in small plants.

Eurecat participates in the SALWATERTWIN project through its Water, Air and Soil Unit (WAS), in charge of studying the state of the art on the problem of salinity in groundwater. It also is responsible for the development of treatment technologies, modeling of chemical speciation for groundwater, and laboratory tests for the chosen treatment technology.
