Smart Technologies for Sustainable Water Management in Urban Catchments as KEY Contribution to Sponge Cities

In close coordination with local implementation partners, the KEYS joint project in the capital Beijing addresses the "sponge city concept" that is being pursued with great energy in China. Another wastewater technology focus is being pursued in the metropolis of Shenzhen.

OSCAR - Online Modeling, Simulation and Remote Control System for environmental technologies on-board (Cruise) Ships (OSCAR)

OSCAR aims to take a decisive development step towards improving the quality of environmental protection on board (cruise) ships by extending maritime digitalisation to on-board environmental process technology. The aim is to develop and test a system that will enable monitoring and, in perspective, remote control of the complex, mainly biological treatment processes from the relevant environmental segments of waste water and organic waste on board (cruise) ships. Initial point for a later centralized fleet management of the treatment processes. Furthermore, the supply of an additive based on digestate for the direct de-NOxing of ship exhaust gases is included in the overall consideration.
