The EU-funded R3VOLUTION project has released a series of four demonstration case brochures highlighting how advanced water reuse, resource recovery, and energy valorisation technologies are being implemented across four key European industries: petrochemical, biochemical, steel, and pulp & paper. The brochures demonstrate how the project enables water-intensive industries to recover water, valuable resources, and energy…
Since June the filtration demo site is operating in stable continuous mode at our pulp & paper demo case in Germany, run by Felix Schoeller and the Fraunhofer Institute, treating wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) influent water using advanced ceramic microfiltration membranes. Although the first test campaign is still ongoing, the system has already produced valuable…
On 15.-16. June 2026, the partners of the R3VOLUTION project gathered in Trondheim (Norway) for the project’s General Assembly, hosted at SINTEF Energy. The two-day meeting brought together key stakeholders from across Europe, both in person and online, to review progress, discuss demonstration activities, and align on the next steps in advancing industrial sustainability solutions….
The R3VOLUTION project is advancing sustainable wastewater treatment for industrial wastewater by combining innovative materials with digital optimisation tools. Two new factsheets about project outcomes have now been released. On the technology side, advanced ceramic membranes for vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) have been developed and tested with real industrial wastewater. These membranes achieve high performance,…
On the 28. May 2026, Water Europe, together with the European research projects R3VOLUTION, RESURGENCE, and CORNERSTONE invites stakeholders to the online event “Water Projects Europe 2026: Circularity in Industrial Water.” The free event will take place from 11:00 to 13:00 (CEST) and is aimed at professionals from research, industry, policy, and practice. The event…
🗓️ On 22nd of March we celebrate World Water Day, a chance to reflect every year on one of our most precious resources: #water 💧 🤝 From the EU-funded SOLLAGUA – Interreg Sudoe, BOOST-IN eu, CIRSEAU, R3VOLUTION Project and REWAISE EU project, we want to join the celebration of this important day by following this year’s United…
The R3VOLUTION factsheets have been developed to provide a clear and accessible overview of the project’s key outcomes. Their purpose is to present essential findings and results in a concise manner, offering an alternative to reading extensive deliverables that often contain a high level of technical detail. Each factsheet summarises all relevant information on a…
During the Water Projects Europe session in Brussels at the end of 2025, five leading EU projects – RESURGENCE, CORNERSTONE, R3VOLUTION, iWAYS and BOOST-IN – presented their latest solutions for circular industrial water use. Around 100 participants discussed how innovative technologies for water reuse, energy and raw material recovery, and digital process optimisation contribute to…
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…
