El proyecto LIFE-ANWER propone una tecnología integrada e innovadora para tratar las aguas residuales procedentes de cerveceras. Mediante la combinación de electrocoagulación y tecnologías electroquímicas microbianas (MET) se persigue la eliminación completa de los contaminantes. El grupo Bioe es el coordinador científico.
This technology will be implemented in Alovera (Spain) in a pilot wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) able to treat 10 m3/h of wastewater. The final dry residue will be valorised for both energy production (making the process energy efficient) and fertilisers. The project is in line with the Water Framework Directive and its objective of achieving good status for all EU water bodies.
The project is coordinated by Mahou-San Miguel, the largest brewer company in Spain.
