Germany, as one of the large travel nations, is specially responsible for a sustainable and environmentally adapted tourism. Therefore, one target of this research project is - among others - to verify the operation of an innovative, decentralised and modular system for waste water purification, waste treatment and production of energy from biogas in a large Tourists Resort located in Turkey.
This modular system combines a membrane system for the purification of wastewater with a fermentation/biogas system for the recovery of relevant quantities of organic wastes. The advantages of both treatment procedures strengthen themselves and remove disadvantages of the respective procedures, so that the two systems can be operated with a high efficiency regarding economic and environmental aspects. In the context of this research and demonstration project, a low loaded membrane facility has been installed in a representative Tourism Resort (approx. 900 beds). Efficiency and possible applications for the purified wastewater are determined and examined. Remaining excess sludge is given directly into the biogas facility where a co-fermentation with organic solid waste (from kitchen, restaurant and garden) is realized. The analysis program of the fermentation module covers both the technical adjustment to the input material and the optimisation and simplification of the handling. This modular, decentralised system is especially suitable for the application in sensitive areas, e.g. tourism regions, corral reefs, islands, coasts, nature parks etc.. With the demonstration project MODULAARE, an examination is currently carried out whether this modular concept can be operated from an economical operational point of view. Therefore the tests in the practical use and the integration into the processes within the tourists resort are of special interest. The innovative character of the MODULAARE concept can be found within the following topics: Combination of waste recycling + wastewater treatment + energy concept; modular units can be adapted to extensions of the hotel; decentralised use is possible (bays, small villages without regular wastewater treatment and waste disposal); development of a sustainable, recycling management resulting in an nearly waste- and wastewater-free tourists resort, by modifying the solid content and switching on/off individual membrane modules the membrane module can be adapted very easily to seasonal fluctuations (guest numbers); advanced development to self-sufficient systems (e.g. by including other regenerative energy sources); membrane and sanitation stage (fermentation) enable short cycles (no germs, exciter, etc.); Altogether, the membrane system will not demand high attention during operation because the settling of the activated sludge does not play a role; difficulties with wastewater from fermentation facilities are solved by means of the membrane facility; excess sludge problems are solved by fermentation system. MODULAARE promotes substantially the sustainable management of the hotel system and the environment. The largest advantage is the use of the benefits (high-efficient cleaning, recycling of waste, regenerative energy) of both systems.

Wasserwirtschaftliche Fachexkursion nach Namibia
© Springer Vieweg | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH (8/2025)
Fachexkursionen dienen dazu, den Horizont für das Fachgebiet zu erweitern und vor allem die Sinnhaftigkeit der späteren Aufgaben sichtbar zu machen. In Zeiten der Widerstände bei der Gestaltung der Umwelt, ob Wasserwirtschaft, Wasserbau, Abfallwirtschaft oder die Anpassung an den Klimawandel, kann so eine Einordnung des Gelernten und der Herausforderungen erfolgen.
Digitale Zwillinge stützen eine handlungsfähige blau-grüne Infrastruktur in der Stadt von Morgen
© Springer Vieweg | Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH (6/2025)
Blau-grüne Infrastrukturen kombinieren ökologische, hydrologische und soziale Funktionen und sind so essenziell für die klimaresiliente Stadtentwicklung. Deren Planung, Steuerung und langfristige Funktionssicherung erfordern eine präzise, flächenhafte Erfassung und fortlaufende Bewertung des urbanen Wasserhaushalts. Digitale Zwillinge ermöglichen eine präzise Erfassung und Steuerung dieser Strukturen.
