Making wastewater treatment more sustainable and efficient using a data-driven AI solution
DARROW aims to build a data-driven AI solution to optimise resource recovery from wastewater by making wastewater treatment plants more autonomous and energy efficient.


Wastewater is a valuable resource, improving its recovery will:

Save energy

Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Contribute to a circular economy

Reduce Waste
Bridging across disciplines and nation borders to provide innovative solutions.
8 partners from 4 countries
We bring together engineers, data scientists, IT developers, hydrologists and economists to tackle pressing issues in the wastewater sector and make the most of our wastewater
