EURECAT's Experience in Water Sector

EXPERIENCE IN WATER SECTOR

Technologies

• Developing and optimising innovative technology and processes for optimising water management and associated resources.

• Advanced separation, biological treatment, advanced oxidation, electrochemical and disinfection processes for liquid effluent treatment.

• Identifying and evaluating opportunities for efficiency improvement and circular economy implementation.

• Developing processes for eliminating trace and/or recalcitrant compounds and treating complex effluents (salinity, organic matter, etc.).

• Identifying and developing processes for cascade recirculation and reuse in industrial processes.

• Recovering water and liquid effluent resources (nutrients, energy, raw materials).

• Tools for monitoring, prediction and quality assurance in distribution networks.

Simulation and modelling

• Extensive simulation and modelling capabilities for treatment processes.

• Thermodynamic solution modelling: OLI, PHREEQC.

• Computational fluid dynamics: Openfoam, Fluent, CFX.

• Developing proprietary models with generic platforms and languages: Matlab, R, Python, etc.

Scientific and technological assessment

• Analysing and identifying opportunities for improving the management of water, soil and air and associated resources in industrial processes.

• Technological scouting and benchmarking.

• In-house analysis laboratory for characterising physical, chemical and biological parameters.

Pilot evaluation

• Evaluating and optimising separation, biological, advanced oxidation, electrochemical, disinfection and other technologies.

• Test bench trials to define and optimise new technologies and processes.

• Onsite trials under real conditions by means of tailor-made pilots for technical and financial evaluation.

Developing new technologies and processes

• Developing innovative technologies and products in the urban, domestic and industrial fields.

• Coupling technologies to develop hybrid processes and systems.

• Cleantech for industrial processes: food, chemical, pharmaceutical, etc.
