Demo Case 1
Location
Temperate Climate Zone
Central Europe 
Ajdovščina Wastewater Treatment Plant, Slovenia.
System
Advanced Expandable Algae-Bacteria System (EABS) for efficient decentralized treatment of high flowrate wastewater
Focus
Flexible, expandable system to handle municipal wastewater under both normal and peak flows, producing biomass for compost/biogas.
Challenges Addressed
- Inadequate small-scale wastewater treatment systems in peri-urban and semi-rural communities.
- Variability in wastewater characteristics due to seasonal population changes and mixed effluent sources.
- Need for easy-to-install, low-energy treatment solutions compatible with existing infrastructures.
- Limited public awareness and acceptance of decentralized water reuse practices.
NAMOR Solution
Deploy a modular hybrid photobioreactor system tailored for medium-temperature conditions, enabling effective treatment of municipal or domestic wastewater at decentralized sites.
Integrate real-time monitoring sensors for critical parameters such as nutrient concentrations, biomass density, and effluent quality to enable adaptive process control.
Use NAMOR’s digital twin and AI-based Decision Support System to optimize operations, reduce energy inputs, and ensure effluent meets reuse or discharge standards.
Validate system performance under temperate climate variability, ensuring robustness across seasonal changes and operational fluctuations.
Engage local stakeholders through participatory workshops and feedback loops to evaluate system usability, social acceptance, and integration potential.
