The REMEB project, led by FACSA, which has developed an advanced and sustainable water treatment system and is currently in its final validation phase, will have a prominent role at the triennial Euromembrane international congress. Previous editions of the congress were held in Aachen and London, and in 2018, the city of Valencia will host it from July 9th to 13th. REMEB will support the organization and enhance the event's visibility as a SILVER-E sponsor.
The EUROMEMBRANE congress, focused on membrane science and technology and whose objective is to bring together academics and professionals from the sector to promote networking and the exchange of ideas on research projects, is organized by the Polytechnic University of Valencia, the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineers of Valencia and the European Membrane Society.
REMEB has developed sustainable ceramic membranes, manufactured by the tile company NATUCER, made with waste from marble, olive oil production and ceramics to treat wastewater and allow water reuse in drought-stricken areas.
In addition, the consortium leader, FACSA, and partner ITC-UJI will participate with technical oral presentations at the forum and will address the results obtained to date regarding the manufacture and validation of the same.
The project, now in its final stages, began in September 2015 and will end on August 31 of this year.
The initiative, co-financed by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, under grant agreement no. 641998, comprises 11 international partners: the project leader FACSA, the Institute of Ceramic Technology ITC-UJI, the French engineering company IMECA PROCESS, the Cypriot consultancy ATLANTIS, the Norwegian engineering firm BIOWATER, the Council of Chambers of Commerce of the Valencian Community, the Castellón-based environmental research and projects laboratory IPROMA, the Italian ceramic center CENTRO CERAMICO, the Turkish ceramic research center SAM, the Antonio Nariño University of Colombia, and the Wastewater Treatment and Purification Entity of the Region of Murcia, ESAMUR.
