Background

Extendi has designed a modular digital platform that introduces cutting-edge technological tools such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and Digital Process Automation (DPA) into remediation processes. By connecting sensors, actuators, and connected systems (remotely accessible PLCs), SERPICO allows for real-time monitoring of critical remediation process parameters, data collection and analysis, and timely and efficient remote intervention.

This solution significantly improves the effectiveness, safety, and economic and environmental sustainability of remediation operations, bringing a digital transformation to the sector that is still largely absent.

SERPICO Project

Second Generation process of monitoring for control

Innovation in complex site remediation processes through technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Robotic Process Automation (RPA), and Digital Process Automation (DPA) is currently lacking. However, this level of innovation is necessary as it offers numerous advantages, improving the effectiveness, efficiency, safety, and environmental and economic sustainability of operations. This can be achieved by connecting sensors and actuators to PLCs with Internet access for real-time data sharing and remote command execution. Remediation technologies inherent in bioremediation processes, such as “Bioremediation” and “Biosparging,” often perceived as having little guarantee of success, albeit excellent in a context of sustainability, would benefit enormously from this approach.

SERPICO therefore aims to create a multifaceted tool that acquires data in real time through dedicated monitoring stations, integrates other information obtained through different methods (event logs, laboratory chemical analyses, environmental microbiome metagenomics, etc.) and governs remediation processes through models, including predictive ones, and remotely controllable actuators. SERPICO is a multifaceted framework that brings together hardware (sensors and actuators), software and highly qualified and specialised scientific expertise. The project falls within the scope of the “Environment and Energy” application area – “Space Economy and Territorial Governance” mission, as its objective is to improve and modernise remediation processes, thereby promoting the environmental redevelopment of contaminated sites.

The SERPICO project promotes the safe and sustainable redevelopment of contaminated areas, optimising remediation processes to reduce waste and CO₂ emissions, and encouraging on-site reuse. Thanks to rapid and effective interventions, it limits environmental impact and strengthens ecosystem resilience, protecting biodiversity, soil and water resources.

Contribution from the European Commission

The SERPICO project is funded by the European Union as part of the “Space Economy and Territorial Governance” mission. This initiative primarily supports measures aimed at strengthening environmental resilience and effectively combating pollution. European support is a key factor in the development and implementation of innovative technologies capable of improving environmental quality and sustainable land management.
