NOVEDAR_Consolider project started in November 2007 with the aim of developing the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of the XXI Century. The three main challenges of the project are improving water and product recovery during wastewater treatment, minimising energy requirements and operational costs of full-scale plants and minimising sludge production.

1st International symposium on Microbial resource management in biotechnology: concepts & applications.

Since wastewater treatment processes require large investments, it is very important that up-to-date, appro-priate and viable solutions be implemented. Failing to do so delays the reduction of environmental pressure and results in ineffective use of taxpayers’ money.Previous LIFE projects have identified a wide range of available solutions, however, knowledge of…

SANITAS (Sustainable and Integrated Urban Water System Management), a European project headed by the LEQUIA (Laboratori d’Enginyeria Química i Ambiental) research group of the University of Girona (UdG), will provide a training and mobility network for young pre-doctoral and post-doctoral researchers through personalised research projects, the exchange of knowledge with…

The present project will be the first experience worldwide at a pre-industrial level of the application of the PANAMMOX process for the nitrogen removal over leachates, and will represent an important step through the optimization (economical and environmental) of leachate treatment, and last step before the industrial development
