Innovation and sustainable digitalization

Collaboration with Graphenea Advanced Materials and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) for the development of an additive that improves the useful life of cement pastes and mortars as well as concrete by incorporating graphene oxide. Its capacity has been tested in a non-structural element of the Almudévar dam project. Its use in bitumen and bituminous mixtures is also being researched.

HYLIOS project, carried out in collaboration with the Technological Institute of Chemistry, CSIC, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Instituto IMDEA, ITECAM and ANSASOL. The initiative addresses the integration of photocatalytic technologies in wastewater treatment plants with the aim of generating energy and/or high value-added chemical compounds, such as hydrogen and oxygen, together with the synthesis of new catalysts and photocatalytic reactors optimised for the production of green hydrogen. The project includes the implementation of a pilot test at the Almansa WWTP to test the optimised equipment at approximately marketready technology level.

MEETA project whose objective is to develop a system to modify the molecular structure of water in water treatment, with applications in wastewater and desalinated water.

Construction, together with Aquatec, of a zero discharge industrial wastewater treatment plant for the Atlantic Copper plant in Huelva, the first facility of its kind in Spain.

Participation in the Reecovery project together with Grupo Mexico, Cubicoff, Cetaqua, CSIC and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. This initiative devise an innovative treatment technique to recover cobalt, rare earth elements and other metals such as zinc from acidic contact water originating from former mining sites. It includes the engineering, manufacturing, supply, assembly and commissioning of a pilot plant at the Minera Los Frailes complex in Aznalcóllar (Seville).

Collaboration with the CETIM Technological Centre in the MOFsDEL project, funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, to develop disruptive electrochemical technologies with low energy consumption in seawater desalination, such as capacitive deionisation.

Partnership with the Green-fintech company Crowmie to finance the construction and maintenance of a photovoltaic self-consumption plant at Travypsa’s factory in Zaragoza with tokens. This is the first tokenised renewable energy project in Spain.

Strategic agreement with Oga for the development and commercialization of innovative solutions to optimize industrial processes in the management of water resources.

EFLUCOMP project, submitted to ACCIÓ and co-financed under the ERDF Operational Program of Catalonia 2014-2020. It consists of the implementation of an MBBR (Moving bed biofilm reactor) biological treatment that gives a better response in the elimination of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) organic matter and nitrogen from hospital waste effluents with emerging pollutants.
