SMART-Plant will scale-up in real environment eco-innovative and energy-efficient solutions to renovate existing wastewater treatment plants and close the circular value chain by applying low-carbon techniques to recover materials that are otherwise lost. 7+2 pilot systems will be optimized for more than 2 years in real environment in 5 municipal water treatment plants, including also 2 post-processing facilities. The systems will be automated with the aim of optimizing wastewater treatment, resource recovery, energy-efficiency and reduction of greenhouse emissions. A comprehensive SMART portfolio comprising biopolymers, cellulose, fertilizers and intermediates will be recovered and processed up to the final end-products.The integration of resource recovery assets to system-wide asset management programs will be evaluated in each site following the resource recovery paradigm for the wastewater treatment plant of the future, enabled through SMART-Plant solutions. The project will prove the feasibility of circular management of urban wastewater and environmental sustainability of the systems, to be demonstrated through Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing approaches to prove the global benefit of the scaled-up water solutions. Dynamic modeling and superstructure framework for decision support will be developed and validated to identify the optimum SMART-Plant system integration options for recovered resources and technologies. Global market deployment will be achieved as right fit solution for water utilities and relevant industrial stakeholders, considering the strategic implications of the resource recovery paradigm in case of both public and private water management.

SMARTech1 is the key to enable primary cellulose harvesting from medium-large WWTPs. It will apply the primary concentration of wastewater by Salsnes Filter dynamic fine-sieve, which can enable maximal recovery of resources. The Salsnes Filter will separate cellulosic sludge that will be followed by post-processing inside the WWTP. The latter includes a compact sequence of operation unites imported by the paper and food industry to produce clean and marketable cellulose. The cellulosic material will be also provided outside the WWTP for the downstream blending with PHA and processing for final bio-composite production (Downstream SMARTechA).
SMARTech2a is the key to enable secondary biogas recovery from small-medium municipal WWTP where irregular organic-load peaks often occur. It will apply a secondary anaerobic biofilter with an innovative polymericbased immobilization matrix to treat anaerobically sewage and produce biogas.
The system will result in high COD and TSS removal as well as biogas production, providing treated effluent adapted for reuse in agriculture or reclamation after post-treatment. The demo system will have a reaction volume of 25 m3 and will be installed at the municipal WWTP of Karmiel (Israel) to treat 100-120 m3/d of sewage. SMARTech2b is the key to enable secondary mainstream energy-efficient resource recovery. It applies the SCEPPHAR system to the mainstream treatment train.
It consists of two SBR; one for heterotrophic bacterial growth, and another SBR for autotrophic nitrifiers growth, an interchange vessel and a chemical system for P-recovery as struvite. The integrated system accomplishes enhanced N-removal and P-recovery in municipal WWTP.PHA will be recovered from the anaerobic purge of the SBR. The pilot-scale system will have a reaction volume of 6-8 m3 and will be installed at the Manresa municipal WWTP (Spain) to treat about 10 m3/d of sewage. SMARTech3 is the key to enable tertiary recovery of N and P based fertilizer based on ion-exchange processes to remove and recover nutrients from secondary effluents. Two different ion exchange media will be applied which are able to successfully capture/remove ammonia and phosphate from the secondary effluent. To overcome the limited supply chain of the ion exchanging materials, new ion exchange media, manufactured in the UK, will be applied.
The aim will be to optimize the regeneration cycles for the nutrient recovery, trying to maintain a high sorption capacity after each regeneration cycle. The system will be applied at the Cranfield municipal WWTP (UK) and will treat approximately 10-60 m3/d. SMARTech4a is the key to enable the integration of conventional biogas recovery from sewage sludge with sidestream energy-efficient and compact nitrogen removal and phosphorus recovery. It applies the SCENA system which integrates the following processes: (o) optional upstream concentration of cellulosic sludge, (i) fermentation of sewage sludge and/or cellulosic sludge with alkalisilcates (e.g. Wollastonite) to produce propionaterich VFAs as carbon source, and (ii) via nitrite nitrogen and phosphorus removal (by P-bioaccumulation) from sludge reject water using an SBR. In this configuration, nitrogen is removed through the bioprocesses of nitritation/denitritation, and Enhanced Biological Phosphorus removal (EBPR) is accomplished via nitrite through the alternation of anaerobic/anoxic conditions and via oxygen through the alternation of anaerobic/aerobic conditions.
The first full scale demo application to treat around 100 m3/d of sludge reject water will be developed in the WWTP of Carbonera (Italy). It will allow the recovery and reuse of 7 kgVFA and 7-8 kg P-rich sludge per capita per year and the savings of more than 50% bioreactor volume and energy consumption from sludge reject water. SMARTech4b is the key to enable the integration of the enhanced biogas recovery (by thermal hydrolysis) of sewage sludge with sidestream energy-efficient and compact nitrogen removal and phosphorus recovery.
It modify the original SCENA concept to treat the sludge reject water in the Psyttalia WWTP of Athens, which services a population equivalent of 3,500,000 inhabitants. The CAMBI thermal hydrolysis process has been very recently installed to treat 50% of the produced sludge, before this is sent for anaerobic digestion (AD). The integration of CAMBI with anaerobic digestion produces, after dewatering, a reject water stream that has a very high ammonium nitrogen concentration (1.2 gN/L). Being the sludge hydrolized for biogas production, the SCENA process that will use the primary sludge reject water as partial carbon source to remove nitrogen and hyper-accumulate phosphorus. SMARTech5 is the key to enable the integration of conventional biogas recovery from sewage sludge with the energy-efficient nitrogen removal from sludge reject water and the recovery of PHA and struvite. It applies the SCEPPHAR concept, which was conceived as a modified version of SCENA for WWTPs larger than 150 kPE, where PHA recovery is an economically sustainable option. SMARTech1 is the key to enable primary cellulose harvesting from medium-large WWTPs.
