Work streams
Using European Union policies as a roadmap, we are working on developing solutions within six focus areas:
Sustainable water treatment
These nature-based solutions offer low-cost options with excellent performance in line with European regulations on urban wastewater treatment.
Alternative resources
Re-use, drinking-water purification and desalination: Faced with the problem of water stress, drinking-water purification and re-use of wastewater solutions adapted to the size of the population and the water quality required by regulations.
Sustainability and energy efficiency
Harnessing wastewater as a source of energy and seeking out other renewable sources, such as transformation of organic matter into bioenergy (biomethane, hydrogen) in WWTPs.
Circular economy, eco and biofactories
Solutions for the use of waste and the transformation of WWTP into eco and bio-factories that minimise consumption of energy and reagents, avoid the production of waste and generate new products.
Digital developments
Advanced technology to improve management of the water cycle: Internet of Things, interconnection of multiple sensors, data analysis and AI. This combination enables early detection of problems, rapid response and process optimisation.
Industrial waters
Industrial activity must be increasingly sustainable: we provide solutions so that our industrial clients can adapt the use of water in their processes and optimise the treatment of their effluents.
As a result, Aqualia's innovation work streams are underpinned by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations, with special emphasis on affordable and high-quality water and sanitation services (SDG 6), an optimised energy balance (SDG 7) and responsible production and consumption (SDG 12) without affecting the climate (SDG 13).
