We are experts in technologies applied to the water sector: treatment, resource recovery, pollutant detection and digitalisation.

Treatment technologies:

  • Development and validation of water treatment technologies: biological treatments, electrochemical processes, advanced oxidation processes, membrane technologies, adsorption/absorption technologies.
  • Circular water economy: recovery or generation of valuable compounds from wastewater and sludge.
  • Wetlands and sustainable drainage systems for passive wastewater treatment, for retention, capture and treatment of rainwater and runoff, etc.
  • Integration of renewable energy sources in water treatment.
  • Water quality: quantification of emerging pollutants, microplastics, antibiotic resistant bacteria, toxicity.

Water sensing and digitisation technologies:

  • Photonic technologies for in situ detection and quantification of priority emerging pollutants, microfibres, microplastics, and others.
  • Sensor network systems for parameter control and on-line analysis: photonics, Artificial Vision or IoT. Analysis and deployment of process automation for remote parameter control.
  • Design and implementation in Digital Twins for process optimisation or predictions. Simulation under critical parameters. Artificial Intelligence simulation models for pattern identification in historical data.
  • Blockchain for traceability control, consumption, relevant parameters and certification of origin or processes applied to the water sector.

Sustainability analysis:

  • Life Cycle and Cost Cycle Analysis, and Social Life Cycle of products and processes.
  • Water and carbon footprint.
  • Product environmental declaration according to international standards.

We design, develop and test technologies applied to the water sector. We carry out laboratory tests and pre-industrial scale-up.
