01What is being requested

Research and development program to develop a prototype of a new treatment plant within five years and test it via a central pilot location up to a TRL level of 7. The program focuses on creating an optimal treatment concept that meets requirements for water quality, energy neutrality, climate neutrality, and circularity.

Market consultation 21 January 2026 A group of eight water authorities and STOWA have jointly established the Research and Development Program Purification of the Future. During this five-year program, a completely new wastewater treatment concept will be developed that must optimally meet all future requirements and ambitions that the water authorities have regarding water quality, energy neutrality, climate neutrality, and circularity. To achieve this, various potential techniques will first be compared using modeling, in order to subsequently realize the most promising combination of techn

02Strategic insight

“
Strategic insight · AI analysis
<ul Ensure an iterative improvement strategy (lean) where testing and adjustments are made quickly based on practical results. Focus on the integration of sub-technologies into a coherent total concept instead of merely the individual performance of a component. Take into account the ambitions regarding circularity and climate neutrality, as this forms the core of the intended new treatment concept.

Focus on technologies with a TRL of 5 or higher.Important
The program strives for a disruptive development in which techniques are tested integrally as one total system.Important
Intellectual property (IP) of private parties remains the property of that party, but the aim is to secure the IP of the treatment as a whole for the water authorities.Important
The construction and testing of the demonstration installation (towards TRL 8-9) falls outside the scope of this program.Important

08Frequently asked questions

What is the goal of the research program 'Purification of the Future'?
The goal is the development of a completely new wastewater treatment concept over a period of five years. This concept must optimally meet ambitions regarding water quality, energy neutrality, climate neutrality, and circularity.
At what scale will the new treatment concept be tested?
After a phase of modeling and comparison of techniques, the most promising combination of techniques will be realized on a pilot scale. This concerns a full treatment from influent to reusable water on a scale of approximately 10 m³/h at a central pilot location.
What expertise and requirements apply to market parties?
Parties must have the capacity to provide technical advice on wastewater treatment. In addition, experience with circular water treatment concepts and familiarity with the requirements regarding energy neutrality and climate neutrality is sought.
How can market parties provide their input during this market consultation?
Market parties can apply their creativity to arrive at an optimal treatment concept by completing a written response via the online questionnaire.
