Installation of a sewer mining unit in the Athens Urban Tree Nursery
(Corresponding) Plevri A., Samios S., Lytras E., Papadopoulos K., Lioumis C., Lazari A., Tazes N., Monokrousou K., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Water and wastewater reuse
Within the framework of the Horizon 2020, a European project called NextGen evaluates and champions transformational circular economy solutions and systems around resource use in the water sector. The Athens demo site is located in the Athens Urban Tree Nursery which is part of the Goudi Park, an...Read more
Anaerobic MBR technology for treating municipal wastewater at ambient temperatures
(Corresponding) Plevri A., Mamais D., Noutsopoulos C.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
An innovative way to treat municipal wastewater and produce energy at the same time is anaerobic treatment. Anaerobic processes are traditionally used for high-strength wastewater or municipal sludge treatment and only recently have been applied for the treatment of low strength municipal...Read more
Implementing nature-based and other engineering solutions to recover water from non-conventional water sources
(Corresponding) Kappa S., Mamais D., Noutsopoulos C., Kisser J., Stanchev P., Katsou E., Malamis S.
Topic:
Circular economy and industrial symbiosis
Mediterranean (MED) islands and coastal areas are under pressure due to water shortage. Water reserves are depleted, while tourism in the summer months burdens the limited water sources. A persistent issue arising from the above activity is the increased seasonal loads of sewage that wastewater...Read more

Energy recovery from urea in decentralised wastewater streams
Asiain-Mira R., Zamora P., Rogalla F., Monsalvo V., (Corresponding) Torrente-Murciano L.
Topic:
Water, energy and/or food nexus
This work presents the design of a new process that enables energy recovery from wastewater, based on the selective adsorption of urea from urine and its subsequent decomposition into hydrogen.
Removal of nitrogen compounds is at the core of wastewater treatment, as their uncontrolled discharge...Read more

“AquaSPICE – Advancing Sustainability of Process Industries through Digital and Circular Water Use Innovations”
(Corresponding) Arampatzis G.
Topic:
EU Projects showcase
Either we rethink how we use water or we threaten the availability. Even though there is overall enough water to meet the world’s growing needs, it is necessary to make changes in how water is used, managed and shared. The EU-funded AquaSPICE project will increase awareness in resource efficiency...Read more
