Learn about the added value we will bring to your Horizon Europe Cluster 4 proposals this year!

You already know the added value we will bring to your Horizon Europe Cluster 5 and 6 proposals this 2023. Let’s now look at Cluster 4 (Digital, Industry and Space): 

HORIZON-CL4-2023-TWIN-TRANSITION-01-40 Sustainable and efficient industrial water consumption: through energy and solute recovery (Processes4Planet partnership) (RIA)

Existing and novel water treatment technologies

  • Advanced oxidation processes, membrane technologies, biological treatments, electrochemical processes, adsorption/absorption technologies and nature-based solutions as potential treatments for industrial water.
  • Resource recovery by electrochemical processes: Li, metals.
  • Contaminant elimination: microplastics and heavy metals.
  • Regeneration of effluents and water reuse.
  • Production of energy from biogas, production of H2.

Smart monitoring technologies with new sensors

Development of sensors for consumption monitoring and also for water quality monitoring in case it is possible to reuse it in another application.

Artificial Intelligence and Digital Twins

Use of Artificial Intelligence with predictive algorithms for optimisation of water use and combinate it with Digital Twins to create simulation models or connect in real time with the real model to make decisions based on sensor information that lead to optimisation.

CETIM has developed several projects in water treatment (NICE, INDIA-H2O) and recovery of solutes from water (REWAISE) and water reuse (LIFE DRAIN RAIN, LIFE GREEN SEWER).
