The LIFE Waste2Coag project co-funded by the EU LIFE programme (LIFE20 ENV/ES/000430) has recently entered its 3rd year and is making great strides in its transformation of the wastewater treatment process.

Recently our project partner Isle Utilities hosted the first LIFE Waste2Coag webinar! The webinar was held online on the 11th July 2023 and reached a variety of industry professionals looking to understand the ongoing work and research involved in the LIFE Waste2Coag project.

Two posters explaining the work done by the partners within the LIFE Waste2Coag project are available for download in the resources page.

The first newsletter of the project was released in December 2022 and provides and overview of the work done by the partners during the first year of the project.

The poster “Production of Fe and Al based coagulants from the recovery of brines and metal scraps” was presented at the IWA Young Water Professionals 2022 event on the 16-19 November 2022 in Valencia by Dr. Nuria Oliver (GOMSL)

The LIFE Waste2Coag was presented at the workshop organised by VALMETAL, the Business Association for the Innovation of Metal and related production processes.

The LIFE Waste2Coag project (LIFE20 ENV/ES/000430) was presented on October 18 at the conference on circular economy and industrial symbiosis, organized by the Conservation Entity of the Las Atalayas industrial estate (Alicante), which was attended by representatives of 18 companies and a significant number of attendees.

LIFE Waste2Coag was presented at EFIAQUA from the 4-6 October 2022. EFIAQUA is a forum in which all areas for which water is a strategic resource are represented, such as the business world, administrations, irrigations communities, technology companies, laboratories, manufacturers of capital goods, managers of drinking and waste water treatment plants or desalination plants.

On October 2022, in Ecofira, the international fair of environmental solutions and ecologic transition, experts from AIDIMME carried out tasks for the dissemination of the project LIFE Waste2Coag.

The LIFE Waste2Coag project video was released in September 2022 over on the project YouTube channel. The explainer video provides a clear overview of the project aims and objectives and is available to watch with English or Spanish subtitles.

The LIFE Waste2Coag partners celebrated the 2nd coordination meeting at month 8 of the project, This was a chance to hear from the five partners how the work on the project action they lead is going, to share understanding of the project and ensure we are all on track.

LIFE Waste2Coag is close to the end of the construction phase of the pilot for the recovery of metallic waste and brine, for the sustainable production of coagulants for application in wastewater treatment.

LIFE Waste2Coag attended the Water Europe Working Groups on Resource Recovery on 24th June 2022. Dr Naiara Fonseca presented at the event which was attended by 24 people.

LIFE Waste2Coag attended the JORNADA INFORMATIVA COMUNITAT VALENCIANA LIFE 2022 + NETWORKING ONLINE on 16 June 2022, Month 9 of the project. Dr Nuria Oliver presented the project under the title "Recovery of brines and metallic waste in the production of coagulants for wastewater treatment".

LIFE Waste2Coag attended the META 14th Spanish Water Treatment Conference in Sevilla from 1-3 June 2022. Dr. Núria Oliver presented a poster entitled "Producción de coagulantes para EDAR a partir de la valorización de salmueras y residuos metálicos".

El pasado 24 de mayo 2022, AIDIMME, participó en la reunión de seguimiento del proyecto LIFE Waste2Coag sobre el desarrollo y demostración en un entorno real de una tecnología de valorización de salmueras y chatarras para la producción de coagulantes que puedan ser aplicados in-situ en EDAR urbanas e industriales, obteniendo efluentes de alta calidad.

The project brochure and noticeboard are available to download from the resources area of the website. The brochure is available in English and Spanish. Both the brochure and noticeboards are available in print and digital formats.

Diseño, construcción y puesta en marcha del prototipo. Este es el título del hito que se está desarrollando en la ejecución del proyecto LIFE Waste2Coag -Brine and metal wastes valorization to produce coagulants for wastewater treatment.

El proyecto LIFE Waste2Coag utilizará una tecnología pionera basada en la electrólisis de residuos para producir coagulantes sostenibles

The LIFE Waste2Coag project aims to demonstrate a viable and cost-effective solution for brine and metal waste valorisation for the production of a sustainable coagulant.

El objetivo es demostrar una solución rentable para la valorización de salmuera y residuos metálicos para la producción de un coagulante sostenible.
