TRIHSENS. Notice 1.
The technological solution will be implemented at the Tambre Water Treatment Plant (ETAP), owned by the Concello de Santiago and managed by Viaqua.
The initiative’s partners—ROCA ROIBAS, SYSPRO, AYCO, and VIAQUA, along with the AIMEN and CETAQUA technology centers—have already begun developing this R&D initiative under the TRIHSENS project.
TRIHSENS Project – A Model of Innovation and Collaboration
Santiago de Compostela – The TRIHSENS project, part of the CONECTAPEME 2018 program, is an example of both innovation and cooperation between small and large companies, as demonstrated by the consortium members: Roca Roibás, Syspro, Ayco, Viaqua, AIMEN, and Cetaqua.
The project’s goal is to enhance current water purification systems, moving toward a more efficient management model that enables the development of a comprehensive real-time monitoring solution for drinking water quality. This initiative reflects a commitment to the protection and conservation of this natural resource.
Technological Advances and Implementation
After the project’s initial months, the effectiveness of fluorescence sensors—based on LED technology—has been confirmed. These sensors represent a significant breakthrough in the real-time monitoring of the water treatment process. The system ensures efficient management and strict control of drinking water distributed in Santiago de Compostela.
This innovative technology, soon to be installed at the Tambre Water Treatment Plant (ETAP), is powered by artificial neural networks, which act as a predictive and protective system within the water purification process.
A Step Toward Preventive and Efficient Water Management
TRIHSENS aligns with new European policies by developing technology focused on proactive and efficient water management. At the same time, it continues to promote collaboration through the support of research, development, and innovation (R&D&I) projects.
Launched in 2018, the project has received support from the Xunta de Galicia, through the Axencia Galega de Innovación (GAIN) and the Consellería de Economía, Emprego e Industria, and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (FEDER).
