WaterSafe IT Tool

Follow the steps below to use the WaterSafe tool effectively for analyzing and upgrading treated wastewater quality:

Step 1: Enter WWTP and effluent data
Begin by inputting the relevant wastewater treatment plant data. Provide current effluent parameters, including concentrations of key water quality indicators (e.g., BOD5, COD, nutrients), and if possible, more about pathogens, micropollutants, etc. 

Step 2: Select the target water quality class 
Choose the desired water quality class you aim to achieve. This can be based on intended use (e.g., irrigation, discharge to surface water, industrial reuse) or relevant legal/regulatory frameworks.

Step 3: Automated analysis by WaterSafe 
Once data is entered, WaterSafe will automatically compare your effluent parameters against applicable EU legal standards. It will identify whether each parameter is within legal limits, below the required threshold (substandard), or above the permissible limit (potentially harmful). 

Step 4: Receive targeted treatment recommendations 
For each parameter that exceeds or falls short of the standard WaterSafe suggests the most effective treatment methods (e.g., filtration, disinfection, advanced oxidation). Additionally, the system provides a comprehensive treatment strategy that optimizes simultaneous correction of multiple parameters, efficiency in terms of cost and technical implementation. 

Step 5: Review your customized treatment strategy 
The result is an optimized, tailor-made wastewater treatment plan, aligned with your selected target water quality class, regulatory compliance requirements, technical feasibility within your WWTP setup. 

Tip: Always review the proposed treatment strategy in the context of your local legal environment, operational capacity, and budgetary limitations before implementation.
