7th Anniversary.

7 innovative projects

On the 7th Anniversary of the SDGs, the UN Global Compact Spain focuses on innovation to solve the great global challenges of the future.

The people who are part of Aqualia have an innovative spirit and work to achieve the SDGs in order to have a positive impact on people and the planet.

 

A real commitment

Our commitment is real and to celebrate this 7th Anniversary we want to highlight 7 innovative projects that promote compliance with the 2030 Agenda.

Name of the project
Objectives relating to the end-to-end water cycle
Objectives relating to climate change
1
  • Recovery of materials from brines, re-use
    of wastewater and its transformation into by- products, and simulation of water quality, processes and networks
  • Transformation of wastewater into energy.
  • Sustainable desalination and new membranes.
2
  • Simplifying water re- use with decentralised solutions.
  • Assessing and adapting low- cost purification technologies to minimise energy costs.
  • Adapts low-cost purification technologies to minimise energy cost, the carbon footprint and waste, trying to provide sustainable and economic solutions.
3
  • Production of new biofertilisers and biostimulants.
  • Using algae to produce oxygen without electricity.
  • Using algae to produce oxygen without electricity.
4
  • Advanced biofilm system that multiplies the biological treatment capacity: improves the reaction of the WWTP to changes in flow and limits the necessary space.
  • Reduction of electricity consumption.
5
  • Obtaining drinking water through advanced low-consumption desalination processes.
  • Transformation of wastewater into energy.
  • Sustainable desalination and new membranes.
6
  • Purification of residual water to return it to the environment in optimal conditions.
  • Comprehensive recovery of animal by-products for the production of bioplastics and biomethane.
  • Waste minimization and generation of sustainable products.
7
  • Use of microalgae to produce biofuel.
  • Reduction of electrical consumption.
  • Energy generation.
