A rEVOLUTIONary approach for maximising process water REuse and REsource REcovery through a smart, circular and integrated solution (R3volution)

R3VOLUTION（R3V）项目将彻底改变欧盟的工业水管理，提供关键的创新，可以在经济、环境和操作上实现水回收项目（通过解决溶质和能源回收挑战），并在未来十年对欧盟产生重大影响。为了实现可持续和高效的水和资源消耗，R3V承担了开发和展示资源回收解决方案的挑战，该解决方案将在大多数水密集型行业中实现>90%的水再利用，适用于上游和下游，同时回收>45%的废水溶质，>50%的废热再利用并消除100%的有害物质。R3V将研究、开发和演示定制的膜基处理机组，再加上废热和数字工艺助理（DPA），以支持设计阶段，实现不同工业环境的最佳配置，最大限度地降低实施风险，并在运营中提供关键支持。为了展示R3V解决方案在不同过程行业的能力和可复制性潜力，该项目包括4个中试规模的物理演示案例，针对具有高水排放和复杂废水的各种行业的几个上游和下游：石化，生物基化学，纸浆和造纸以及钢铁，每个案例都由知名的技术合作伙伴领导。该项目还将评估结果的可转移性，通过项目内开发的DPA工具，评估另外一个行业（智利的采矿业）及其在另外3个行业中的可复制性。该联盟完美地描绘了开发R3V解决方案所需的能力三角：膜技术和处理列车的设计，能源回收和数字化，同时考虑经济，环境和社会评估等横向能力，以及开发计划。

R3VOLUTION (R3V) project will revolutionize industrial water management in the EU, providing key innovations that can enable economically, environmentally and operationally water reclamation projects (by addressing solutes and energy recovery challenges), and generate significant impact for the EU in the next decade. To pave the way towards sustainable and efficient water and resource consumption, R3V takes on the challenge of developing and demonstrating a resource recovery solution that will enable >90% water reuse across most intensive water industries, applicable upstream and downstream, whilst recovering >45% effluents solutes, >50% waste heat reuse and eliminate 100% of hazardous substances. R3V will investigate, develop and demonstrate tailored membrane based treatment trains coupled with waste heat, and a digital process assistant (DPA) to support the design phase to achieve optimal configuration for different industrial settings, minimising risks in implementation and provide critical support in operation. With the aim to demonstrate R3V solution capabilities and replicability potential across varied process industries, the project includes 4 physical demo cases at pilot scale targeting several up- and down- streams in a variety of industries with high water discharges and complex effluents: petrochemical, bio-based chemical, pulp & paper and steel, each led by renowned technological partners. The project will also assess the transferability of the results by evaluating one additional industry (mining in Chile), and its replicability in 3 additional streams, via the DPA tool developed within the project. The consortium perfectly maps the triangle of competences required to develop R3V solution: membrane technologies and design of treatment trains, energy recovery and digitalisation, considering also transversal competences such as economic, environmental and social assessment, together with the exploitation plan of the developments.
