Portuguese National Conference on Innovation Capabilities in the Water Sector
Within the scope of WG4 – Training for regional development and job creation, more specifically WG 4.2. the organization of 3 national events was defined, with the objective of addressing the innovation capacities of agents in the water sector, boosting cooperation and the network in the sector, as well as making available training materials on Innovative Public Procurement developed and other public results from the project. In Portugal, on June 24th, the Conference was held under the theme “Living Labs and Public Procurement of Innovation in the Water Sector”, in online format due to the current pandemic situation, jointly organized by PPA, ISA, IST, AdTA and ADRAL, Portuguese partners in the project. The conference took place according to a program that was structured in the following panels: Opening the sessionPresentation of the TWIST ProjectUL3: Urban Lisbon Living LabVirtual Roundtable: “Public Purchasing Innovation in the Water Sector” Participants were invited to intervene during the session, particularly during the roundtable.

Spanish Water Living Lab Pilot
Within the framework of the TWIST project, the development of the market plans of two of the wastewater treatment systems that are currently in operation in the Living Lab OWL2 are taking place. Both market plans will be designed according to the maturity level of each system. In this way, Living Lab OWL2, located in Carrión de los Céspedes (Seville), is monitoring two wastewater treatment systems based on the application of METland® technologies. Modular METland®, represents a sustainable (technical, economic and environmental), mobile and efficient solution to clean-up and re-use urban wastewater at zero-energy cost by combining fascinating microorganisms capable of converting pollutants into electrical current. This is especially critical for micropollutants like pharmaceuticals and personal care products (pcp) that are just partially degraded in standard treatments but 95% removed through METland®. Moreover, our product reduces by 10 to 30-fold the footprint(depending on application). It fulfils GREEN DEAL policies related with CO2 footprint and energy consumption to help EU states reach climate neutrality in water sector. Interestingly, its modular nature allows to follow a 3D lego-like engineering to replicate and satisfy customer needs from single housing to small communities hosting thousands of people. METland® also addresses Green Deal policy by […]
