Microbial Desalination for Low Energy Drinking Water (MIDES)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2016, Date de fin: 31 mars 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 ...

iMETland: A new generation of Microbial Electrochemical Wetland for effective decentralized wastewater treatment (iMETland)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2015, Date de fin: 31 août 2018,
iMETland project aims to construct and validate a full-scale application of a eco-friendly device to treat urban wastewater from small communities at zero-energy operation cost. Our concept comes from the integration of Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (MET) with the biofilters used in constructed wetlands. iMETland outperforms classical biofilters from constructed wetlands by using electroa ...

Transformation of disposed reverse osmosis membranes into recycled ultra- and nanofiltration membranes (LIFE TRANSFOMEM)
Date du début: 1 juin 2014, Date de fin: 30 juin 2018,
Background
In Spain, there is a generally low level of treatment of wastewater in conglomerations with populations of fewer than 2 000 inhabitants (treatment rate of less than 40-50%). According to EUROSTAT, about 35% of Europeans live in towns with a population of more than 100 000, while 40% live in small urban agglomerations. In the smaller municipalit ...

Evaluating Economic Policy Instruments for Sustainable Water Management in Europe (EPI-WATER)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2011, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2013,
Economic policy instruments (EPI) have received widespread attention over the last three decades, and have increasingly been implemented to achieve environmental policy objectives. However, whereas EPI have been successfully applied in some policy domains (such as climate, energy and air quality), their application to tackle water management issues (drought/water scarcity, floods, water quality co ...
