Název projektu:
PS - FP7-SEC-2012-1: ANSWER Advanced Network of Sensors for Water sEcuRity (11 IT 56Z7 3MX7)
Popis:
An Italian research center is looking for some end users (water utilities, bottled water and food industries&) to join a sound team of academia-enterprise partners in a FP7 proposal on water security. The end users should give advice on the technology implementation. Demonstrations activities should be performed in the end users premises.
Akragas, 406 B.C., during the Carthaginian siege, the Spartan general Deixippos fears that the enemy poisons the underground tanks of drinking water.
Fukushima, 2011 A.D., IAEA says: "permissible levels of iodine-131 were exceeded in drinking water samples taken in the Fukushima and Ibaraki Prefectures and in Tokyo from 17 to 23 March" (24 March 2011, 21:30 UTC).
The quality of drinking water has always been the main concern of public authorities, especially when pollution was mainly of biological origin. This threaten is today amplified by industrial processes, medical diagnostics and energy production that include chemical, radiological and nuclear processes. Recently, water security has been threatened not only by natural disasters or human errors, but also by terrorist attacks. For these reasons all the water supply chain has to be monitored with systems ensuring the real-time monitoring of all its links, especially in large municipalities that are the ideal target of terrorism.
The answer to this problem is an Advanced Network of Sensors for Water sEcuRity (ANSWER).
The approach of ANSWER will be glocal, i.e. local and global at the same time. Local, because its first layer will be based on a complete set of miniaturized sensors deployed on-site. Global, because they will be connected to the expert system for decision support via usual mobile phone technology but with data encrypting. The sensors will be based on innovative technology, in order to provide in real-time:" Physical characterization (particulate size, morphology and refractive index): laser flow cytometer." Chemical characterization (chemical pollutants): fluorescence/Raman spectroscopy." Biological characterization (biological contamination): bioimmunosensors." Radiological/nuclear characterization (radionuclide presence): TBD.
Combining sensor data, the expert system will provide water utilities and government/military organization with information on the severity and extension of the threatening event, suggesting further specific controls and/or urgent mitigation actions.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
Call: FP7-SEC-2012-1 Activity: 10.1 Increasing the Security of the Citizens
Topic: SEC-2012.1.5-2 Improving drinking water security management and mitigation in large municipalities against major deliberate, accidental or natural CBRN-related contaminations Capability Project
Deadline: 23 November 2011)
Requested EU funding: EUR 3.500.000 (approximately)
Proposal development stage: draft available to be completed jointly by the partners
