Project Details
Description
Innoqua aims to accelerate the market on the market of an ecological modular system of sanitation for rural areas. It is an innovative, patented, award-winning system, with scalability characteristics for rural areas, agribusiness, construction companies with sustainability vision, for co-old experiences around the world, particularly for developing countries. This modular system is based on the ability to purify water that have bio organisms (worms, zooplankton and microorganisms) and the adsorption of materials, providing an ecological, safe and affordable sanitation capacity in places where it is needed, attending to the themes and priorities of the European Innovation Association on Water. Demonstrations will be carried out on scale on the performance of the system in several areas: commercial development, technological integration, eco design, controlled pilot tests (it will be carried out by the researchers in Ireland and Spain); There will be demonstrative sites of technology for its use and market assessment in several countries (France, Italy, Ireland, Romania, United Kingdom, Ecuador, Peru, India and Tanzania); In addition to preparations for the subsequent development of the project. The system intends to be a sustainable solution of "zero production" of sewage and the complete water reuse. The system is ideal for small and medium scale where an integrated solution is required for the treatment of sewage to reduce the discharge of these waters to the water currents, improving their quality, as determined by the EU Water Framework Directive.
