The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European RECREATE project, which on a €3.4 million budget is to evaluate new strategies for integrating alternative water resources into the water cycle such as reuse, desalination and rainwater harvesting with the aim of improving resilience in management and ensuring its availability in response to the impact [...]
This week at IFAT Munich, the Eurecat technology centre is showcasing the cutting-edge solutions and technologies it has developed for smart use of resources such as water and raw materials in businesses coupled with innovations which help unlock circularity, climate resilience, zero pollution and ecosystem stewardship. “Harnessing innovative environmental technologies will enable businesses to [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the iRAIN project which is to develop an innovative water resource management system by researching new systems and technologies to safely reclaim and reuse wastewater and its nutrients for agricultural purposes. It will harness state-of-the-art hybrid tools which combine monitoring and artificial intelligence by merging data [...]
The European LIFE Biogasnet project has validated a new biogas purification technology, which allows improving the quality of this resource produced in urban solid waste treatment plants and wastewater treatment plants, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of the cycle energy and promote the circular economy concept. Specifically, the solution "is based on [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has developed a new process harnessing membrane technologies to treat liquid effluents from industrial processes and promote saving and recovering water and resources which can be reused in industrial operations. It is on show for the first time at the Advanced Factories trade fair at Fira Barcelona. They are cutting-edge [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is targeting technological innovation to cut water use while also stepping up the availability of water resources by harnessing solutions for optimising water use efficiency and driving reuse and desalination to lessen reliance on conventional water sources, especially during periods of prolonged drought such as the current one. Since 2015, [...]
Water reuse provides alternative water resources which will help address climate change adaptation in the Mediterranean and also in central and northern European countries already experiencing water stress. This was one of the conclusions of the Water Reuse congress held in Girona which additionally showcased the opportunities it affords in circularity and its potential [...]
The technologies that facilitate decarbonisation ‘are varied and it’s very important to reduce their costs and increase their robustness’, based on green hydrogen, the use of biogas, the development of batteries to store renewable energy, advanced technologies to separate and capture gases, new materials and digital technologies, according to Miquel Rovira, the director of [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European LIFE MySOIL project to test on a pilot scale the feasibility of mycoremediation using fungal inocula to remove petroleum hydrocarbons from soil, a kind of substance estimated to be present, on average, in 35 per cent of contaminated sites in Europe. The MySOIL project, which is partly funded by [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is developing a research project to remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated soils through a micro-remediation technology that uses fungi and has a lower environmental cost than conventional techniques. In the context of the project, funded by the Torres Quevedo programme, ‘parameters such as soil texture, nutrients or microorganisms that control the degradation of hydrocarbons by [...]
