Title: Transformation of disposed reverse osmosis membranes into recycled ultra and nanofiltration membranes

Duration: 2014 - 2018

Research groups: Membrane technology

Description

TRANSFOMEM is an European Community co-funding LIFE project with contract number LIFE13 ENV/ES/000751 coordinated by IMDEA WATER. It aims to develop an innovative recycling process for reverse-osmosis membranes disposed in landfills. End-of-life reverse osmosis membranes are transformed to lower pressure ultra-nanofiltration membranes in order to use them for wastewater treatment. LIFE TRANSFOMEM is framed in the “LIFE+ Environment Policy & Governance” component: pilot projects that contribute to the development of innovative policy ideas, technologies, methods and instruments.
