▪ NEW PRODUCTS: New products obtained from wastewater through a combination of innovative
techniques:
• Bioplastics (PHA): 3.5 kg PHA/d (Currently: 2.7 kg PHA/d)
• Citric acid: 25 kg/d (Currently: 17.6 kg/d)
23
INCOVER main impacts
CO2▪ NUTRIENT RECOVERY: Up to 70% nutrients recovery (P and N) using functionalised hybrid
polymeric materials as sorbents.
▪ ENERGY EFFICIENCY: 50% energy demand reduction in wastewater treatment due to biogas use
in the process and improved O&M activities.
▪ CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION: Reduction of green house gases (GHG) emissions up to 80%
through microalgae growth and biochar production since both methodologies are CO2
sequestration processes (1.88 kg/CO2/kg algae and 2.2 kg CO2/kg biochar).
▪ TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION: Innovative technical approaches for domestic, agricultural and
industrial water tested in 3 different sites (2 in Spain and 1 in Germany).
▪ EMPLOYMENT: At least 150-200 new jobs are expected during the exploitation period for
companies involved in INCOVER.
▪ REACH OUT/SOCIAL AWARENESS: At least 40 companies with face to face meetings with
technology developers and up to 60 stakeholders interested in INCOVER solutions (during the
project and exploitation activities).
