LIFE-ANSWER project will demonstrate an integrated and innovative technology for treating wastewater from breweries. The proposed technology will combine electrocoagulation and MET for the complete (100%) removal of wastewater pollutants. Bioe Group is the scientific manager.

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.
