Racons desalination station, which manages Aqualia, is part of a pioneering project that seeks an improvement in water reuse and desalination process. In this regard, the desalter install a pilot test and cleaning plant osmosis membranes. The objective is the recovery of the membranes used in desalination after their useful lives (5 and 10 years) treatment for reuse as purified water for industrial use or agricultural irrigation. The initiative plans to eliminate waste and reduce costs.
The LIFE + Remembrane project, coordinated by Aqualia, has 950.000 euros aid from the European Union. So far the research has successfully recovered 7 8 of membranes collected for the project.
The Councilors of Water Cycle, Vicente CheletAnd Environment, Sisco Signes, Have visited this morning the desaladora accompanied by representatives of the consortium researcher of the project, the delegate of Aqualia in Alicante, Manuel Rosado and guests of technology centers and universities.
The director of Innovation and Technology of Aqualia, Frank Rogalla, stressed that Remembrane is a technological innovation for the use of waste and its transformation into a reusable resource. For his part, Councilman Vicente Chelet was pleased that Dénia welcome this pioneering project that has a budget of 1,9 million euros.
The LIFE + Remembrane R + D + i project began to develop in September and will conclude this year 2012. The research consortium led by FCC Aqualia as coordinator, is also formed by the Waste Agency of Catalonia, Ambicat, TYPSA and LEITAT Technology Center.
