UNIOVI focuses primarily on the development and integration of predictive models for critical water system management, particularly the creation of models to forecast corrosion behavior and scale formation, as well as future water demand. These forecasting tools, along with rule-based models for energy and water recovery—which aim to ensure stable performance, reduce maintenance, and prevent operational issues—will be integrated into a user interface and rigorously tested under operating conditions. Finally, industrial partners will assess operator acceptance of the technology, identify potential constraints, and propose necessary improvements.
