This November, PhD researcher Martin Prado from project partner UPC introduced the R3VOLUTION project at two major international conferences, where he presented the preliminary nanofiltration (NF) benchmarking results from the steel manufacturing case study. His contributions helped showcase the project’s progress toward achieving near-zero liquid discharge (NZLD) in energy-intensive industries. Martin’s first presentation took place…

The R3VOLUTION consortium held its 4th General Assembly, gathering partners from across Europe for a full day of technical presentations, strategic discussions, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Hosted online, the meeting brought together experts in hard tech, digital innovation, and industrial case studies to review progress and align on the project’s next steps. The morning opened with…

Industrial water use accounts for nearly half of all withdrawals in Europe, putting pressure on water and energy systems. In the context of the European Green Deal, the Zero Pollution Action Plan, The Water Resilience Strategy, and mounting scarcity, shifting from linear “use-treat-discharge” practices toward reuse, resource recovery and digital optimisation is no longer only…

Solid Progress Since Launch Since its official launch in January 2024, the EU-funded project has made solid progress across field trials, technology development and stakeholder engagement, completing the first 18 months of its four-year programme. Funded under Horizon Europe, the R3VOLUTION consortium is researching innovations in industrial water reuse, solute and heat recovery, and AI-driven…

This week, we held the 3rd General Assembly of the R3VOLUTION project in London! The main focus of the meeting was to discuss and review the project’s progress after 18 months of work. It was exciting to see the significant advancements R3VOLUTION is making in developing technologies and solutions towards Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) for…

The R3volution project was presented at the “Desalination for the Environment Clean Water and Energy” Conference in Porto at the end of April. Sara Salvador Cob from project partner VITO held an oral presentation in the Zero Liquid Discharge session: “Development of a membrane-based zero liquid discharge treatment train for a biochemical industry”. It was…

The R3VOLUTION project was presented at the 14th IWA International Conference on water reclamation and reuse in Cape Town South Africa last week. Project coordinator Eric Santos, from Cetaqua held an oral presentation called: “R3VOLUTION project: a revolutionary scheme for water reuse and resource recovery in the petrochemical industry”.  The R3VOLUTION project, funded by Horizon…

Last week, Senta Becker from Felix Schoeller took significant steps to promote the innovative R3VOLUTION project, presenting it to both internal and external audiences.

On 14-16th November 2024, CCEM Barcelona Professor and Group Leader, Jose Luis Cortina Pallas, from the Resource Recovery and Environmental Management (R2EM) group participated in the China-Spain New Energy and Materials Forum for Academic and Industrial Cooperation at the Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT). During the forum, Prof. Cortina delivered a presentation titled, “Promoting…
