Report on S-LCA: Final results and recommendations

Project Ô is working to show how water treatment technologies can be implemented in a way that bolsters social and environmental sustainability through circular water management. As part of Work Package 6, this social life cycle assessment (S-LCA) has the objective of determining the ecological impacts of water treatments at Project Ô demosites. Project Ô is working on four demosites, which in total incorporate four new water treatment modules and a total of 6 new technologies. The modules include ADV.ERT in Italy, SALTECH in Israel, MOBILE3TECH in Spain, and PHOTO.CAT in Croatia. The technologies – some of which are implemented in multiple modules – are photocatalysis, high-voltage nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field, molecular separation membranes (membrane distillation and nanofiltration), advanced adsorption technology, photo-Fenton, advanced control, and biological mixed treatment.

The implementation status of the modular technologies varies between the demosites. Therefore, this Deliverable 6.12 - Report on S LCA: Final Results and Recommendations (D6.12) presents the last set of results of the Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) of Project Ô technologies based on the latest available data, and offers recommendations on this basis.
