Projects that are at an undergoing stage or in the pipeline

13 AquaNess Demonstrating combined natural treatment and engineered processes for water purification

Goal

The AquaNES project will catalyze innovations in water and wastewater treatment processes and management through improved combinations of natural and engineered components. Among the demonstrated solutions are natural treatment processes such as bank filtration (BF), managed aquifer recharge (MAR) and constructed wetlands (CW) plus engineered pre-and post-treatment options.

Benefit Anoxic capillary nano-filtration Managed aquifer recharge (MAR)/soil aquifer treatment (SAT) for storage and quality improvement Constructed wetlands and other natural systems for improved wastewater treatment BAC- Biological Activated Carbon filter Water quality control and risk management Partners 27 partners – including: Xylem, Pentair, KWR, WADIS and many other key players.

14 STOP-IT Strategic, Tactical, Operational Protection of Water Infrastructure Against Cyber and Physical Threats

Goal STOP-IT project aims to efficiently tackle cyber and physical security threats, bridge an existing risk management gap in utilities’ practices and an un-tapped technology market potential for protection solutions for water infrastructure

Benefit

STOP-IT will cover the whole risk management chain from Prevention and Detection to Response and Mitigation and it will allow integration of security and technical aspects of risk management into the same view to guarantee permanent control over the water systems. This will result in a new approach that will enable flexible water system management tailored to the need of water utilities.

Partners SINTEF (Norway) as a coordinator and another 21 partners including CETAQUA (Spain), KWR (The Netherland), Technion (Israel), Aigues De Barcelona (Spain), Berliner Wasserbetriebe (Germany), Aplicatzia (Israel)

15 SMART PLANT

Goal SMART PLANT (Scale-up of low-carbon footprint MAterial Recovery Techniques for upgrading existing wastewater treatment Plants) goal to harness several technologies to be used together or separately to upgrade existing wastewater treatment systems. This project has 7 beta sites in various locations in Europe and Israel.

Benefit

• Involvement in international studies carried out in the field of wastewater treatment. • Placing Mekorot at the cutting edge of innovative wastewater treatment technologies. • Specific benefits in Mekorot beta site: Improving and Upscaling Agrobics AAT (Anarobic Advances Treatment) technology.

Partners

UPDM (Italy) as a coordinator and another 27 partners including UNIVPM (Italy), Severn Trent (UK), Cranfield University (UK), KWB (Germany), Agrobics (Israel), NTUA (Greece).

16 SuWaNu

Goal SuWaNu project goal is to disseminate knowledge and experience related to wastewater reuse for agriculture. This will enable the assimilation of such technologies and solutions throughout Europe in a way that will enable the agricultural sector more stability and resilience to challenges such as water scarcity and climate change

Benefit • Mekorot will serve as a representative of a region that is similar in terms of climatic conditions to southern Europe, which serves as a model for the reuse of water for agriculture. • Mekorot will be referred to as a source of knowledge in the reuse technologies field, and could be approached for professional advice. • Increasing the general exposure and reputation of Mekorot to leading entities in Europe. • Presenting the State of Israel as an advanced place in terms of resources recycling. • Creating a basis for future collaborations –professional, technological and commercial.

Partners

BIOAZUL (SPAIN) as a coordinator and another 18 partners including FENAREG (Portugal), ECOFILAE (France), FENACORE (Spain), ACC (), ANETH (Greece)
