Design and development of efficient technologies for the valorisation of organic waste from different sources, such as urban wastewater, industrial wastewater, municipal solid waste, algal biomass, etc. Depending on the type of waste to be recovered, CALAGUA evaluates the viability of different anaerobic treatment systems, such as mesophilic or thermophilic anaerobic digesters, or anaerobic membrane bioreactors (AnMBR), as well as the combination of different anaerobic systems to transform existing WWTPs into nutrient, reclaimed water and energy factories.
