Research, development and innovation
We promote our vocation of continuous improvement with activities of research, development and innovation. We participate in different projects, both internally developed or in collaboration with universities, research centers and other companies in the sector, in order to develop new technologies that will allow more efficient treatments with best operating costs.
We highlight the following projects:
The LIFE SPOT project aims to produce drinking water that meets the established requirements through the development of a new process, based on microalgae treatment and cork filtration, capable of removing nitrates and pesticides from contaminated groundwater. This treatment will provide water resources in areas vulnerable to nitrates, useful in isolated rural areas, both in the livestock, rural and tourist sectors.
We participate as partners in the EFLUCOMP project which, within the framework of the RIS3CAT 2016 call and the ERDF Operational Program of Catalonia 2014-2020, has as its main objective the development of innovative treatment systems based on the combination and integration of technologies that allow the reduction of costs associated with the management and treatment of waste effluents with a complex composition to obtain water of adequate quality for its management, whether discharged or reused.
LIFE RELEACH Project: development of a new leachate treatment system in order to reduce the proportion of concentrate generated. The aim is to reduce the environmental impact of landfill waste management, in a consortium with the Typsa group, the Manresa Technology Center, the Bages Consortium and the Catalan Waste Agency. Our work consists of developing the construction project, manufacturing and commissioning of the prototype, equipped with different systems: biological and membrane concentrates and Reversible Electrodialysis EDR.
THE CTM leads a European project to reduce the environmental impact of the management of waste in landfills
LIFE REAGRITECH: participating in construcion of the prototype for elimination of nitrates in aquifers with Constructed Wetlands. PROTECMED designed and implemented the feeding system of the feed (consisting in agricultural runoff ) and the online instrumeintation for continuous measurement of water quality . The work was conducted together with the UNESCO Chair for Sustainability and TYPSA Engineering.
LIFE RESALTTECH: acting as the builders of the compact plant for water treatment for reuse in a paper industry. The process line of treatment consists of a continuous sand filter, ultrafiltration and Reverse Osmosis. We developed this project for TECNOMA (from TYPSA group).
