The project deals with the treatment and direct reuse of water for drinking and irrigation. Since direct reuse means that the treated water is discharged into some type of water system without first being diluted in a natural river or lake or in groundwater, the removal of Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CECs), herbicides, insecticides, and Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) simulants will be investigated.

The main objective of the present project is to provide permeate of good quality for direct reuse for human consumption (drinking water) and for agricultural irrigation, i.e., to gain sufficient knowledge for the treatment of all water bodies with membrane separation processes (MSPs). It is expected that the performance of MSPs will exceed the limits of the reuse guidelines and spur the research and technical activities worldwide to improve the market penetration of MSPs in water reuse.
