Microalgae as a sustainable alternative for wastewater treatment – The SaltGae project

The Saltgae project has been developing its activities since the end of 2016 in order to provide a simpler and economically sustainable solution to the important problem of the treatment of high saline waste waters with organic load, such as the effluents of the food & beverage industry.  Saltgae implies the use of a combination of different technologies for the elimination of pollutants and their recovery. It has overcome scientific and technological barriers to move from the laboratory, through piloting, to reach demonstration level located in three sites. The project has needed the collaboration of 21 organizations with experts from different areas, genomic, desalination, anaerobic-digestion, water treatment, chemical transformation and sustainable studies, from both academy and industry to develop key innovations in a complementary and effective way.
