Global Omnium

Technological partner

Companies and institutions looking for in Global Omnium a demonstrator or cooperator in the development of technologies and processes to be implemented in EDAR. These processes can be validated and developed on a laboratory scale by treating real currents, or in an operational environment in the SHC managed by the company in different autonomous communities. The aim is to advance solutions mainly related to the following challenges:

• Improvement in treatment processes at EDAR.
• Improving the resilience of treatment processes in WWTP.
• Energy and resource optimization.
• Reduction of the environmental impact of sewage treatment and waste.
• Promotion of the circular economy and synergies with strategic sectors.
• Water stress.

Business model

Development of R & D projects.

Innovative aspects

• Recovery and generation of water, sludge and biogas resources.
• Implementation of solutions based on nature.
• Safe reuse of water and removal of emerging pollutants, microplastics and pathogens.
• Digestion - co-digestion of sludge and waste.
• Sanitation and agricultural sludge recovery.
• Purification, enrichment and recovery of biogas.
• Simulation and odour management.

Competitive advantages

Optimization of energy and resources of the WWTP by reducing its operating costs and extending its current value chain.

The technologies and processes developed can be applied in different WWTP process units, and/or replicated in other industrial sectors.

• Public administrations (from waste management to urban health).
• Basin Agencies (From Dumping to Resource Management).
• Integrated Water Cycle Management (Symbiosis and Efficiency).
• Energy and Decarbonisation (Waste-to-Energy).
• Agriculture and Nutrients (Circular Economy).
• Chemical and Industrial Sector (High Value By-products).
• Public health and biotechnology (Smart Water).
• Agri-food sector (recovery of waste and fertilizers).
