AQUAMUNDAM
For an improvement in the sustainable management of the integral water cycle
Description
AQUAMUNDAM: the project will search for solutions for a sustainable and integrated water management in the POCTEP region project. The project will stimulate the development of tools and the demonstration of methodologies promoting communication among government and other implied agents. It will furthermore encourage a most efficient integral water cycle management in supply and sanitation water. Moreover, urban planning will be implication in water infrastructures for the implementation of the integrated water management solutions will be strenghted. This project is located in Portuguese-Spanish border, including Galicia, Portugal’s North and Centre Area and Castilla y León.
Objectives
- AQUAMUNDAM project aims at protecting the environment through the improvement of the water cycle in cross-border regions. The project will stimulate a rational use of the water, through the development of tools and methodologies and through the valorization of existing solutions and techniques.
Actions
- Development of instruments and methodological tools for enhancing water cycle management.
- Diagnose and develope local plans for improving water cycle managament.
- Improving water integral cycle manament in small and medium size municipalities tackling supply and sanitation water.
- Demonstration thourgh three actions: one full pilot in Spain and two semi-pilot one in Portugal and the second one in Portugal.
Expected results
- Establish a starting information point for different implied water agents Establish a starting information point for different implied water agents.
- Enlarge data related to water supply from river for human consumption, supply networks efficiency and water spilled after sanitary treatment.
- Reducing answering lapse of time after supply and sanitary water network incidents and diminshing water losses and improving water spills quality.
- Improve water cycle management cost knowledge.

Circular Economy and Biotechnology Projects:
LIFE VALPORC
The goal of the LIFE + VALPORC is to demonstrate a sustainable alternative to the management of pig carcasses and manure, focusing on the environmental problems derived from its current management and valorizing these wastes by transforming them into biofuels (biogas and biodiesel) and organic fertilizers,
LIFE SMART Hospital
The LIFE SMART Hospital Project has promoted the sustainability of the health sector through the deployment of best practices and available technologies, training programs and replication of experience.
VALOR-PLUS
The VALOR-PLUS supports the realisation of sustainable, economically viable closed loop integrated biorefineries through the development of new knowledge, (bio-)technologies and products that enable valorisation of key biorefinery by-products.
LIFE COLRECEPS
The main objective of the COLRECEPS project is the implementation of a prototype demonstration plant to recycle residual EPS and obtain EPS beads. With these pearls, new recycled EPS prototype products will be manufactured.
LIFE REVAWASTE
The LIFE REVAWASTE project (www.revawaste.eu) was born proposing the sustainable management of a broad spectrum of waste in an integrated plant or “Mixed Plant”.
LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY
The LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY Project consists of the pyrolysis of eucalyptus biomass for the production of electricity and biochar. It is intended to make use of the residual biomass of eucalyptus forest exploitation.
RECALZA
RECALZA proposes to develop a chemical recycling process of the generated polyurethane foam residues, to obtain the polyol again and re-manufacture new products (recycled soles) that meet the requirements for the footwear sector.
CONREPOL
The CONREPOL project will evaluate both chemical procedures based on the use of compounds that increase the surface polarity (silane coupling agents) of the waste and physical treatments with the same objective.
GREEN-CAR
The GREEN CAR ecodesign Project applies the ecodesign methodology to several components of the “electric vehicle” system: batteries, converter, charging points, conditioning systems and auxiliary systems from renewable sources
LIFE RESCATAME
RESCATAME represents a new system for the sustainable management of traffic through the use of models that predict pollution levels, which are supported by data collected by the network of air quality sensors, and that can help to execute a rapid action.
BIOREFINERÍA FT
The FT BIOREFINERY Project consists in developing a technology that allows obtaining 2nd generation liquid biofuels (synthetic diesel) and electrical energy, through the application of gasification and co-gasification processes, of different types of solid and / or liquid waste ( herbaceous biomass, lignocellulosic, glycerin, etc.)
BIALEMA
BIALEMA: RED for the production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment. Conducted by Dr. Antonio Francisco Valdes Delgado (CUBAENERGIA).
BIORECOS
The BIORECOS Project aims to design and build a demonstration plant of a modular nature that allows, through pyrolysis, the production of charcoal and / or active coal, as well as the generation of electrical energy.
ENHANCE HEALTH
The ENHANCE HEALTH project focuses on environmental and health concerns related to air pollution produced by industries and waste incinerators in urban areas.
