Decentralized and Small-Scale Water Treatment
EF 2024-25
Résumé
Decentralized water treatment consists in the onsite treatment of water in small facilities without water distribution or wastewater collection. Although currently used in 15% of Canadian households and 36% of First Nations homes, decentralized water treatment facilities present many gaps. The proposed CRC will aim to develop and optimize decentralized water treatment solutions. It will notably characterize and model physical, chemical and biological phenomena occurring in various decentralized water and wastewater treatment processes; propose design criteria; and seek to improve the process performance regarding contaminant removal, size, water footprint, energly footprint and greenhouse gas release.
