Designing digital twins for the management of the water cycle in small municipalities

Generate knowledge and lay the foundations for the development of a future digital platform that allows both control and prediction of the generation and emission of atmospheric pollutants.

The second phase AtmosphAIr 2.0 project follows the lines of its first phase, studying the processes of formation of greenhouse gases (GHG) and odoriferous gases in WWTPs. The final objective of this second phase of the project is to improve the forecasting methodologies already developed, to carry out a study of the impacts and the…

Facilitate the launch of collaborative R&D and innovation projects that improve the efficiency of water use in the perfumery and cosmetics industry through the implementation of innovative digital technologies.

The Cosme Water Footprint project, in all its three phases, aims to develop a tool for calculating the organizational water footprint and the product produced in the cosmetic sector. It would be the first specific software for the sector with this objective, being a global innovation and reinforcing the sustainability positioning of the Spanish cosmetic…

Keeping the pipes in good condition and planning maintenance tasks efficiently is a challenge for operators of urban distribution networks due to the inaccessibility of these infrastructures. The purpose of the FLUENT project is to design and validate a tool for calculating failure probabilities that will work with open software and will be able to…

A new HORIZON2020 project, HYDROUSA was launched on July 1 to reinvent a water-resilient economy, mitigate climate change and reform the agri-food system. HYDROUSA aims to promote innovative solutions for the Mediterranean islands in terms of water/wastewater treatment and how to manage it, which will close the water cycles and improve the energy and agriculture…

The IKAT project is a European project of the Euroclusters line that aims to contribute to the achievement of the updated tourism strategy proposed by the EC, following the conclusions reached by the Parliament and the Council before the pandemic for tourism European and the industrial ecosystem of the maritime and coastal sectors in the…

Design and validate an aerial, underwater and hybrid drone model to obtain data from water distribution and sanitation networks to improve their maintenance and the detection of leaks and breakdowns.

Promote R&D and innovation business projects that exploit existing synergies in the water-digital-food nexus, to offer solutions with high added value to end users of the food sector (mainly the dairy, sea-industry and beverage subsectors) that support their sustainable development.

The ReWaT project arises from the need to save water and optimize the use of this resource among users in urban environments. For this purpose, regenerated water is considered as an alternative water source suitable to cover certain uses within the regulatory requirements and within the urban environment, which will decrease the pressure on the…

The final objective of the SAGIC project is to design a management tool for non-compliance or deviations from one or more requirements in a process (known as non-conformities) by industrial companies. This tool will work based on neural networks and will interpret information coded in natural language and will allow the analysis of a large…

Develop a tool that allows, through the interpretation of satellite images, to anticipate episodes of declines in the quality of surface water bodies.

In the current context of drought and climate change, surface freshwater bodies are increasingly strategic long-term resources to guarantee water availability. Even so, the effects of the drought and the reduction of precipitation cause the reduction of volumes of these bodies of water and the consequent worsening of their quality due to the concentration of…

Study innovative and digital solutions for the efficient management of the water cycle in tourist establishments to promote the circular economy based on the reuse of water and the recovery or generation of renewable energy

The SMARTH2OTEL project as a whole aims to study and develop digital and innovative solutions for the efficient and sustainable management of the water cycle in tourist establishments. In the current second phase of the project, SMARTH2OTEL 2.0, it is intended to consolidate the experimental data of the solutions studied in phase 1, of early…

Design and validate a model that allows the sustainable management and governance of water uses in a river basin with water scarcity.

The analysis of strategies for the recovery of wastewater urea is intended to validate the applicability of innovative combined technologies for the separation, elimination and potential recovery of urea from industrial textile processes.

The formation of foams in the decanters and biological reactors of WWTPs can mean a decrease in the efficiency of water purification and an increase in the economic costs that are necessary to deal with this process. To deal with this problem, the SurVue project proposes several actions in this regard, the first of which…

Meat is a sector that requires a high consumption of water to clean vehicles, facilities and machinery. The reuse of water for cleaning without direct contact with food is a good way to reduce global consumption. However, guaranteeing the required water quality at all times is difficult due to the high economic cost of continuous…

The meat sector is the fourth largest industrial sector in the territory. The optimization of the processes involved in the slaughtering and processing of the products obtained is vital to increase the competitiveness of the sector. One of the key points is to be able to combine productivity with the saving of both energy and…

The purpose of the ViWaTec project is to promote technological solutions and other innovative strategies that improve water use efficiency in the wine sector. Pursuing this objective, 8 state diagnoses and 3 technical and economic evaluations will be carried out in 11 different wineries representative of the territories, with individualized visits by expert companies in…
