At CETIM we have designed and built a pilot plant to validate the obtaining of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) from wastewater organic matter, we are investigating the recovery of lithium from brines and we are carrying out the Life Cycle Analysis of the whole process. Natural resources are scarce and this, coupled with the effects of climate change, means that more and more areas across Europe are facing...

For World Water Day, we show you that the challenges currently facing water resources can be overcome thanks to the development of new technologies that improve the processes for obtaining and treating water. LIFE GREEN SEWER, NICE and RESURGENCE are examples of how reused water can be obtained, reducing environmental impact and economic costs. [video width="1280" height="720" mp4="https://cetim.es/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Dia-Mundial-del-Agua-4.mp4"][/video] World Water Day has been celebrated since 1993 to remind...

CETIM continues its strategic positioning and since May 2020 we are part of ATIGA (Intersectoral Technological Alliance of Galicia). This association is made up of the Galician technology centres recognized at state level. It was created in 2012 on the initiative of AIMEN, ANFACO-CECOPESCA and CTAG, and was later joined by GRADIANT (in 2013) ENERGYLAB and ITG (in 2015) and now CETIM in 2020. ATIGA is...
