New Publication by University of Salerno, Italy

Can living membrane bioreactors help tackle two major wastewater challenges at once: microplastics and membrane fouling?

Excited to share our latest publication of our partner Università degli Studi di Salerno – Sanitary Environmental Engineering Division (SEED) within the SPORE-MED project PRIMA Partnership:

📄 Microplastic removal and fouling mitigation in a pilot-scale living membrane bioreactor for urban wastewater treatment

Participation in GEET Laboratory Research Dissemination Day

Today is about sharing research and building connections.

Our partners (Ksibi Mohamed; Jordi Cros Herrero Adasa Sistemas) are participating in the GEET Laboratory Research Dissemination Day at ENIS, where we present the SPORE-MED project (PRIMA Partnership) alongside other ongoing research activities.

The programme brings together technical presentations, discussions on environmental monitoring and biotechnology, and a round-table on future scientific collaborations and technology transfer.

Thesis Defense within SPORE-MED Project

Bridging research and real-world implementation is where environmental innovation truly happens.

As part of our ongoing SPORE-MED project (PRIMA Partnership), our partner Adasa Sistemas is carrying out a technical visit to the Sfax North Wastewater Treatment Plant, organized by ISBS (Institut Supérieur de Biotechnologie de Sfax – Ksibi Mohamed).

New Publication “Environmental Risk and Removal Efficiency of NSAIDs in Wastewater Treatment Plants in Sfax, Tunisia”

???? New publication from the SPORE-MED project! PRIMA Partnership

Congratulations to our colleague Ksibi Mohamed ( Institute of Biotechnology of Sfax (ISBS), University of Sfax) and co-authors on their new article: “Environmental Risk and Removal Efficiency of NSAIDs in Wastewater Treatment Plants in Sfax, Tunisia”.

The study investigates the occurrence, removal performance and environmental risks associated with pharmaceutical residues in WWTPs under Mediterranean conditions.

SPORE-MED General Assembly and Scientific Board Meeting

???? Today, the SPORE-MED consortium gathered online for our General Assembly. PRIMA Partnership

It was a pleasure to see the progress achieved so far and the outcomes of the strong collaboration between partners.

Thank you to all partners for their commitment and dedication as we continue working towards more sustainable water and resource management solutions across the Mediterranean. ????♻️

Participation in Workshop “Sustainable Livestock Farming: EmissioCap and DEPURHOB projects”

♻️ Great to participate in the workshop “Sustainable Livestock Farming: EmissioCap and DEPURHOB projects”, organised by BETA Technological Centre and LEQUIA at the Universitat de Girona.

As part of SPORE-MED (PRIMA Partnership), Alba Ceballos-Escalera LEQUIA contributed with a talk on struvite recovery in wastewater treatment plants, highlighting the role of phosphorus recovery in advancing circular nutrient management.

e-Cristalyser technology

This week, we had the opportunity to present e-Cristalyser technology at the workshop organised by the ESPP European Sustainable Phosphorus Platform, which focused on Article 20 of the new Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.
Developed as part of the SPORE-MED project, e-Cristalyser provides an innovative approach to efficiently recover phosphorus from sewage sludge, supporting the transition towards a circular economy and enhancing the sustainable use of strategic resources ????
