Biowaste derived volatile fatty acid platform for biopolymers, bioactive compounds and chemical building blocks (VOLATILE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2020,

VOLATILE aims in the development of an innovative Volatile Fatty Acids Platform for the bioconversion of municipal solid bio-waste fraction and sludgy biowaste from other industries. The platform will be integrated in anaerobic digestion. The volatile fatty acids will be recovered continuously using sophisticated membrane technology and will be provided as feedstock / carbon source for value added ...

Interdisciplinary concepts for municipal wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Tackling future challenges (TreatRec)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

...stewater-related directives in practice. TreatRec, with the participationof two academic partners (ICRA-Catalan Institute for Water Research and University of Girona) and two non-academic (ATKINS and AQUAFIN) identifies several pertinent technological gaps and knowledge needs around which we have built a research programme. TreatRec involves equally academia and industry with a clear aim of produc ...

Sustainable and integrated urban water system management (SANITAS)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

SANITAS will create the next generation of integrated Urban Water System (UWS) management professionals by providing a unique Europe–wide training platform in the technical and complementary skills they will require. This is needed since in the near future climate change will bring dramatic regional variations in excessive surplus and deficiency in water supply and unpredictable variations in wate ...

Advanced observation and rainfall prediction for urban pluvial flood management (RAINGAIN)

Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Aug 29, 2015,

The projects aim is to obtain fine-scale rainfall and flood data at the urban scale: a level of detail at which such information is currently lacking. The availability of fine-scale rainfall and flood data will enable urban water authorities to adequately cope with peak rainfall and will help to prevent the severe pluvial flood damage that in the past decades has been associated with these events. ...

Innovative Energy Recovery Strategies in the urban water cycle (INNERS)

Start date: Mar 31, 2010, End date: Dec 30, 2014,

Currently. a transition is taking place in Europe towards an increasing awareness of the effects of our behavior on the environment. Instead of using fossil fuels. the focus slowly shifts towards minimizing energy consumption or using renewable sources of energy with the purpose to reduce carbon emissions. There is an enormous amount of energy within the urban water cycle that is ignored and l ...

"Microorganism and enzyme Immobilization: NOvel Techniques and Approaches for Upgraded Remediation of Underground-, wastewater and Soil" (MINOTAURUS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2013,

"MINOTAURUS will deliver innovative bio-processes (bioaugmentation, enzyme technology, rhizoremediation with halophytes, and bioelectrochemical remediation), which are all based on the concept of IMMOBILIZATION OF BIOCATALYSTS (microorganisms and enzymes), to eliminate emerging and classic organic pollutants. The immobilization-based technologies will be applied to engineered (ex-situ) and natural ...

Bringing the OpenMI-Life (OpenMI-LIFE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2006, End date: Jan 31, 2010,

Background The project's rationale lies in the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD), which demands an integrated approach to water management. This requires an ability to predict the way catchment processes will interact. In most contexts, it is not feasible to build a single predictive model that adequately represents all the processes; therefore, there is ...
