Water
In the water-related field, we undertake wastewater traceability and supply studies in order to identify optimal purification processes to ensure an appropriate quality for its intended use or in line with current legally established discharge quality requirements.
Likewise, we develop advanced biological and physical-chemical treatment systems for water reuse technologies and undertake assessments of
natural attenuation in polluted groundwater.
We characterise membranes and develop their application as separation technology in the fields of industry and water treatment. We study the viability of their application and the optimisation of their performance (design, operation, fouling and cleaning). We also apply
advanced treatment methods such as advanced oxidation, RMB, SBR, electrocoagulation, etc.
Our lines of technological activity are:
-
Evaluation of the industrial water cycle (supply, process, discharge):
- Sampling and analysis.
- Water conditioning/treatment.
- Minimisation plans.
- Water reuse.
-
Biological treatment of wastewater:
- Aerobic processes.
- Anaerobic processes.
- Nutrient removal.
- Additivation of process waters (biocides).
-
Physical-chemical water treatment:
- Conventional separation/destruction systems (coagulation-flocculation, flotation, absorption on activated carbon, evaporation, stripping, etc.).
- Advanced oxidation processes (UV/ozone).
- Membrane technologies.
-
Hybrid treatments: membrane bioreactors - MBR.
-
Rehabilitation of surface and/or groundwater:
- Sampling and analysis.
- Purification/disinfection technologies.
- Tertiary treatments (reuse).
- Soft technologies: natural attenuation.
