🌞 Just before we head off for a well-deserved summer break, we're excited to share some key milestones from our TKI Watertechnologie project - Monitoring, modelling and reducing nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from WWTPs - research and coordination conducted by KWR Water Research Institute. Over the past months, we've successfully run two simultaneous monitoring campaigns: 📍 Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden's Utrecht WWTP (on AGS Nereda® reactors). 📍 Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland's Nieuwe Waterweg WWTP (conventional activated sludge system) ✅ In Utrecht, we monitored for over a year and observed fascinating N₂O emissions dynamics. We also tested full-scale mitigation strategies, which yielded valuable insights. ✅ In Nieuwe Waterweg, our 7-month campaign revealed stable and low N₂O emissions — a positive outcome as well! With both campaigns now completed, we’re diving further into data analysis and predictive modelling. The insights are already proving to be informative and promising. 📢 Stay tuned for more updates— we’ll be sharing more results and findings soon! After the summer break, we're gearing up for two new deployments at WWTPs operated by Waterschap Noorderzijlvest and Waterschap Drents Overijsselse Delta! Onward to the next phase! 🚀 Thanks to all our partners and collaborators for making this possible.
