P2:
BfG 
|
Federal Institute of Hydrology, Germany
|
As a leader of workpackage 3 and due to the long experience in environmental analytics, BfG is responsible for analytical quality, analysis capacity allocation as well as specific biological degradation studies. According the previous experience with coordination of EU-projects (POSEIDON) BfG will be an important member of the NEPTUNE Steering Committee (NSC). Further a group of BfG is responsible for the microbiological assessment of effluents and the efficiency of post-treatment processes within workpackage 3. | |
|
P3:
LabMET |
Laboratory of Microbial Ecology and Technology, Belgium
|
Role in NEPTUNE: LabMET coordinates workpackage 2 and focuses its research activity mainly on microbial fuel cells and effluent oxidation with MnO. | |
|
P4:
IRSA 
|
Istituto di Ricerca Sulle Acque del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Italy
|
IRSA is contributing to workpackage 1 by taking a lead on the sludge related aspects. Further IRSA provides analytical capacity in workpackage 3. | |
|
P5:
UniFra |
Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, Germany
|
UNIFRA will contribute to workpackages 3 (Contaminants and toxicity assessment) and 4 (Assessment, evaluation). Within WP 3, a Whole Effluent Testing (WET) will be performed, accompanied by a Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) with screening assays (in cooperation with BfG). For the different tests used in the effluent testing, assessment criteria will be developed. Furthermore, two emerging contaminants will be characterised ecotoxicologically and a specification sheet for a mobile WET unit will be developed. For WP 4 UNIFRA will contribute to the incorporation of micro-pollutants and ecotoxicological effects in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). According their experience with coordination of EU-projects UniFra will be an important member of the NEPTUNE Steering Committee (NSC). | |
