Environmentally friendly innovation: The first desalination system is of great interest!
Asfinag has opened a groundbreaking desalination system for street chips in Kefermarkt, which is the first of its kind worldwide. This state -of -the -art pilot project is part of an extensive environmental protection program that aims to protect the waters next to the Mühlviertel expressway (S10). 1.1 million euros were invested in the system to ensure the preservation of sensitive water habitats. So far, good water protection systems have not succeeded in effectively filing chloride from road water, so that salt -containing water could often be released in large quantities and only in water with sufficient drain. This led to high costs for necessary retention basin and pump lines, such as Volksblatt .
In cooperation with the Technical University of Vienna, Ilf Consulting Engineers and Orca, innovative procedures will be tested in cooperation with the Technical University of Vienna, which is to continue two years. Both the well -known reverse osmosis and the new electrodialysis are used to remove the salt from the collected road water. "We aim at sustainable use of the recycling salt obtained, which is to be used as brine in winter service," explains Tamara Maria Christ, managing director of ASFINAG Service GmbH. This sustainable approach is intended to minimize space consumption and at the same time reduce the energy requirement, such as Mein district reported .innovative technologies for water cleaning
The use of these technologies not only enhanced the road water in terms of quality, but the “purely water” that has resulted can be used to ensure traffic safety in winter. The pilot project is accompanied by a comprehensive measurement program in order to precisely evaluate the efficiency of the desalination processes and to make possible optimizations. This innovative project of ASFINAG sets new standards in the area of environmental protection and sustainable mobility to master the ecological challenges of winter service.
