R&D - Project
BIOFLOC Ongoing
Development of a bioflocculant production process
The BIOFLOC project aims to develop and validate a production procedure for a bioflocculant consisting of a bacterial consortium, produced under non-sterile conditions on a medium formulated from waste from the industry
SLUDGE2BBI Ongoing
Production of PHAs for bio-based chemistry from sewage sludge and organic materials
Development of PHA extraction technologies from sewage sludge to produce biodegradable, bio-based building blocks for green chemistry.
SAFE Ongoing
Sustainable bioeconomy: aquaculture, biodiversity, biotechnology, and integrated freshwater uses.
The SAFE project aims to make aquaculture more sustainable by valorizing solid and liquid waste from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) through circular economy approaches.
MULTIO Ongoing
Optimized water and energy management in natural pools
Functional, modular pools for optimized water and energy management in tomorrow’s sustainable housing.
GEPI4REE Completed
Recovery of rare earths from electronic waste
Specific microflotation system for rare earth ions for the development of a recovery and purification process for Neodymium from electronic waste.
DAF3D Completed
Antibacterial textiles and 3D filters for process water treatment.
The DAF3D project aims to develop and validate an antimicrobial filter combining functionalized textiles and 3D-printed supports for the treatment of process water at a demonstration scale.
AOPTi Completed
Photocatalytic Oxidation to Remove Micropollutants from Urban and Industrial Wastewater
Evaluation of the Advanced Photocatalytic Oxidation Process for Micropollutant Removal in Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants
BACZEREAU Completed
Innovative and energy-efficient disinfection for natural bathing areas.
The BACZEREAU project validates a UVA-Visible photocatalytic reactor to effectively disinfect wastewater by destroying pathogens via their cell wall rather than their DNA.
ALBAPRO Completed
Combined algae-bacteria process for low-energy wastewater treatment
The objective of the ALBAPRO project was the technical utilization of mixed microalgae-bacteria systems to treat municipal and industrial effluents and produce biomass for subsequent valorization.
NITRASORP Completed
Textile-based absorbents for the removal of nitrates from drinking water.
Development of a surface-modified textile filter for the adsorption of nitrates from drinking water.
