Sustainable Algae Biorefinery for Agriculture aNd Aquaculture (SABANA)

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

SABANA aims at developing a large-scale integrated microalgae-based biorefinery for the production of biostimulants, biopesticides and feed additives, in addition to biofertilizers and aquafeed, using only marine water and nutrients from wastewaters (sewage, centrate and pig manure). The objective is to achieve a zero-waste process at a demonstration scales up to 5 ha sustainable both environmenta ...

Microbial Desalination for Low Energy Drinking Water (MIDES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

Shortage of fresh water has become one of the major challenges for societies all over the world. Water desalination offers an opportunity to significantly increase the freshwater supply for drinking, industrial use and irrigation. All current desalination technologies require significant electrical or thermal energy, with today's Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination units consuming electric energy of ...

Innovative Eco-Technologies for Resource Recovery from Wastewater (INCOVER)

Start date: Jun 1, 2016, End date: May 31, 2019,

Taking into account the current global water scarcity and the expensive operation and maintenance cost of wastewater treatment, INCOVER concept has been designed to move wastewater treatment from being primarily a sanitation technology towards a bio-product recovery industry and a recycled water supplier. A wastewater specific Decision Support System methodology will be tailored to the INCOVER tec ...

Industrial scale demonstration of sustainable algae cultures for biofuel production (ALL-GAS)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

This project will demonstrate on large scale the sustainable production of bio-fuels based on low-cost microalgae cultures. The full chain of processes from algal ponds to biomass separation, processing for oil and other chemicals extraction, and downstream biofuel production, as well as the use in vehicles, will be implemented on a 10 ha site.Depending on the methodology chosen during the researc ...

Intelligent Urban Water Management System (UrbanWater)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Improving the efficiency of water management in Europe was recognised by the EC as essential for overcoming the growing exposure of European countries to Water Scarcity and Droughts. UrbanWater proposes a platform that will enable a better end-to-end water management in urban areas, accounting for 17% of freshwater consumption in the EU.The project will undertake the development, demonstration, an ...

High algal recovery using a Salsnes Water to Algae Treatment (SWAT) filter technology (Operation SWAT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

Microalgae has been researched and cultivated commercially for human and animal nutrition, for cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications, for biofuels and biomass production, for wastewater treatment and to some extent for greenhouse gas abatement. The production for the microalgal biomass market today alone generates a turnover of 1.25 billion US$ per year (0.94 billion €/yr) while the total alga ...
