Severn Trent Water Limited

Zulu Ecosystems and Severn Trent Water are partnering to develop a data-led, catchment-scale, System Operator approach to the planning and delivery of nature-based solutions. This approach is specifically designed to accelerate the flow of private investment into nature's recovery. The project will deliver ecosystem service benefits through natural flood ...

UPSTREAM addresses the targets of the Mission by overcoming challenges related to the monitoring, prevention, elimination, and valorisation of litter (L), plastics (P), and microplastics (MP). Demonstrating a suite of 14 solutions addressing pollution at every step in the water system, connected to 7 rivers in 5 countries, will enable the co-creation of a...

To develop and implement a Real Time Control system within urban drainage networks. This technology will facilitate better use of inherent storage capacity within the network during storm events and thereby reduce the number of spill events caused by insufficient network capacity.

To enable a new approach to the abstraction of water for potable water supply which will improve compliance with quality standards, improve resilience of resources and reduce the risk of environmental failures due to over-abstraction.

To develop a non-destructive, low-cost, easily-deployable system for sealing or reducing background water leakage in customer supply pipes.

This project will develop, produce and test a viable, future-proofed battery replacement Energy Harvest (EH) system for potable water monitoring applications. Like all water providers, Severn Trent Water (STW) must be compliant with Ofwat’s ever-reducing water leakage target. Regular monitoring of water flow and pressure identifies new leaks, STW used to ...

NVPE will deploy a 12m by 4.0m pilot reactor treating 500m3/day of WW with a chosen Municipal WW customer in the UK (United Utilities or Severn Trent). NVPE have identified this market as the largest most suitable market due to its low strength WW characteristics in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS). This pilot will al...

The development and upscaling of renewable hydrogen sources are a prerequisite if the UK is to effectively help solve the energy ‘trilemma’ of reducing emissions from electricity generation, improving security of supply and reducing costs. Hydrogen is seen as an alternative clean energy source to replace polluting traditional fuels however, 95 % of the wo...

This project will develop an easy to install leak detection system for existing and new water pipes. Based on self-contained sensor nodes located on the outside of the pipe the system will detect changes in pressure and vibration to indicate the formation of leaks and their location as they occur. The innovative features of the system include the fact tha...

Piezotag is well known in the automotive sector for its work on battery replacement technology, having developed the first battery free TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System). The technical solutions developed for this application have a generic quality; the requirement for self-powered data capture & RF transmission modules which can operate from remote,...

Development of a model to predict conditions for optimal orientation of nanoparticles in an extrusion process, together with methods of manufacturing non-leaching pipes based on nanoclay technology. The role of the nanoparticles is to form a barrier to render the pipe non-permeable to hydrocarbons and contaminants. The orientation of nanofillers determine...
