It is a treatment system designed for the removal of nitrogen from waters with low loads of organic matter. It reproduces on a small scale a constructed wetland based on MET (Microbial Electrochemical Technologies), that is, a METland^®, adapted to create anaerobic conditions that give rise to denitrification reactions. It consists of a first part of the enrichment of dissolved organic matter, based on the decomposition of plant materials, and a second part where the denitrification process takes place, accelerated thanks to the presence of electroactive microorganisms. It has a treatment flow of 500 L / day.

Applications: from tertiary treatments for the removal of nitrates in waters with low loads of organic matter –such as the effluents from WWTP (Wastewater treatment plants), until water extracted from aquifers contaminated with high nitrogen loads.

This system, with which the wastewater from IMDEA Agua is treated, is based on the combination of the constructed wetlands with MET (Microbial Electrochemical Technologies). The METland® has an area of 10 m²  and is powered by pulses. In addition, it has a meteorological station and a continuous sensor system, both at the entrance and at the exit to measure water quality parameters.

Applications: removal of organic and inorganic components from water and removal of emerging contaminants. Treatment indicated for both urban and industrial water.

For treating different kinds of wastewaters containing organic matter, can either be aerobic or anaerobic and combine them depending on the wastewater. Vertical reactor variant of the urban WW metlands re-purposed for industrial wastewater treatments. Volumes: 0,5-1L. Continuous or intermittent operation mode systems, with treating capacities ranging from 0,25 to 2 L/d. The reactor material is glass, filled with electrically conductive carbonous material of size range 3-7mm.

Agilent 490 micro GC portable Gas Chromatograph for direct in-line coupling to laboratory and field bioelectrochemical systems. This compact and portable equipment allows the detection and quantification in a few seconds of the presence of CO2, CH4, H1 and CO present in reactors and wastewater treatment and environmental decontamination units.

Two bipotentiostats / galvanostats μSTAT400 from Dropsens. They allow performing experiments with screen-printed electrodes (SPE) of different materials (coal, gold, PEDOT, ITO, etc.), with volumes of sample as small as a drop (50 μL). They also support the study and comparison of up to two working electrodes simultaneously.
