| Project Abstract | This innovative interdisciplinary project will investigate the development, design engineering and end of pipe deployment of wireless sensor technology to study pH in water and ammonia emissions from Charleville and Limerick waste water treatment plants with the aims of providing new know-how, procedures and organisational management for environmental protection and enhanced environmental technology capability. Seasonal and plant operational variations with the use of the real-time monitors will be investigated for pollution remediation. Results of the sensor deployment and the laboratory based methods for analysis will be compared in terms of efficiency, cost, sustainability, reliability and improved treatment of pollution. |
