The CALAGUA-UV group is formed by professors belonging to the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Universitat de València. Within the different research groups of the Department of Chemical Engineering, the CALAGUA-UV group focuses its activity in the area of knowledge of Environmental Technologies and more specifically in the treatment and purification of wastewater. CALAGUA-UV has been collaborating for more than two decades with different national and international research groups in research lines related to the development of technologies for the elimination of pollutants and the recovery of resources in both urban and industrial wastewaters.

It is worth mentioning the more than 25 years of collaboration with the Water Quality group of the Institute of Water and Environmental Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica of València (UPV), which have resulted in the development of control systems in wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), simulation models of biological processes in wastewater treatment plants, as well as methodologies for the characterisation of water and biomass.
