EVALEAU
| Output characterisation | |
| OUTPUT SENTENCE | Integrated environmental and economic performance assessment of drinking water production processes |
| OUTPUT TYPE | e-tool |
| WATER TOPIC | Consumption |
| KEYWORDS | Drinking water, Environmental Impact of Drinking Water Treatment |
| KEYWORDS TYPE | Software for Life Cycle Assessment; a neat combina |
| OUTPUT DESCRIPTION | A scheme to support the design and the operation of drinking water supply systems, through the application of the aforementioned multicriteria evaluation to specific case studies and the development of a computer tool |
| STATE OF DEVELOPMENT | EVALEAU modules base in development and implementation on industrial sites; Work to deepen some models; 1 doctorate thesis (LCA indicator development for water resources depletion) post doc work (development of thermodynamic energy criteria), financed by the French "Fond National de la Recherche (FNR)." |
| INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES | The main scientific innovation of the project consists in the integration of thermodynamics concepts (emergy and exergy) as criteria for the assessment of a technology. The novelty of the project is also provided by the approach to water treatment modelling, which is highly flexible thanks to the use of programming tools, parameterization and modular architecture (based on unit operations). Project approved by the competitive cluster XX |
