In IWAMA the quality of sludge will be

measured and assessed during the sludge

management audits and key figure data

collection considering specific technologi-

cal and regional features. A uniform and

thorough guidelines for applying the au-

dit concept for smart sludge manage-

ment will be developed and tested. Nu-

trient removal process will be enhanced

through advanced sludge water treatment

and new low-cost solutions for sludge

hygienisation, stabilisation and drying.

Pilot investments:

y Full-scale sludge humification beds

in Türi and Oisu WWTPs, EE

y Reject-water treatment system

in Tartu WWTP, EE

y Energy-efficient sludge drying

in Jurmala WWTP, LV

IWAMA will demonstrate on the macro re-

gional level how an improved mana gement

of energy efficient nutrient reduction is ap-

plicable in varying sizes and advancement

levels of wastewater treatment facili ties.

Reduction of nutrients and electrical en-

ergy consumption will be implemented

through the smart energy management

concept based on key figure data collec-

tion and audits in a wide range of WWTPs

in the region.

Pilot investments:

y Nitrogen component control system

in Daugavpils WWTP, LV

y Energy optimized control system

in Kaunas WWTP, LT

y Full-scale advanced control system

in Grevesmühlen WWTP, DE

y Combined anammox-constructed

wetland pilot-plant in Gdansk

IWAMA activities will enable structured

life long learning and expertise exchange of

WWTP staff to increase mainstreaming of

the best available technologies and to pro-

mote the uptake of smart sludge and en-

ergy management in WWTPs of the Baltic

Sea Region.

Activities include:

y development of training materials

package on smart energy and sludge

management

y 4 online training webinars

y 6 international onsite workshops

y 5 national dissemination events

y facilitation of national knowledge

based communities of water experts

in BSR countries
