Title: A new generation of Microbial Electrochemical Wetland for effective decentralized wastewater treatment

Duration: 2015 - 2018

Research groups: Bioe

Description

iMETland project aims at unleashing the small community economies potential through innovative wastewater treatments technologies, creating a virtuous circle connecting water, energy, ICT, land resources and safeguarding the environment. The project maximises the innovation potential of the following technical features, to be tested and validated at four different geographical locations: Mediterranean (Spain), North-Europe (Denmark), South-America (Argentina) and North-America (Mexico). iMETland innovation stands in the balanced integration of technologies, which are wisely amalgamated in the environment. Exploiting the combination of water sector, energy, ICT and land resources, the project paves the way to solve small communities wastewater treatment needs in a cost effective, energy efficient and environmental friendly manner. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 642190.
