Dredging is an essential activity to maintain maritime and river routes, coastal protection to flooding, among others. Every year, over 2 Bm3<\/sup> de sedimentos en todo el mundo, de los cuales entre el 20% y el 40% est\u00e1n muy contaminados y deben ser tratados antes de ser depositados en vertederos (ya que las tecnolog\u00edas actuales de tratamiento y separaci\u00f3n no permiten valorizar de forma rentable el agua y los s\u00f3lidos de este material dragado).<\/p>

Water Challenge has developed and patented the first truly energy-efficient, zero liquid discharge (ZLD+) technology capable of separating 100% of dredged material in fresh water and crystallized solids in a single step, without chemicals and with very low energy consumption (<20 kWh\/m3<\/sup>).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The main objective of the ASEC project was to develop a pilot plant with a capacity of 10 m3<\/sup> per day to separate and recover water and solids from dredged materials. This plant was essential for showcasing the technology and business model before expanding and replicating it across Europe.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The key objectives of the ASEC project were:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To build a pilot plant of 10m3<\/sup>\/day and test it internally before being deployed to an operational environment.<\/li>\n
  2. To prove the plant at our facilities using different contaminated dredged fluids.<\/li>\n
  3. To ensure the pilot plant in an operational environment. To do this, the pilot plant was transported to the port of Huelva (Spain) and put into operation using real dredged sediments.<\/li>\n
  4. To strengthen our business plan by ensuring successful market penetration through achieving the necessary technical maturity. In addition, awareness of the technology was raised through multiple outreach campaigns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
