Waterwhelm Ltd

Waterwhelm will further develop its technology for brackish and sea water desalination powered by low-grade waste heat, enabling energy-efficient and sustainable water supply.

School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews

The aim of the project is to develop fuel cell technology for application at wastewater plants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate clean electricity.

Resimac Limited

Our entry focuses on the development of an innovative and highly cost-effective hybrid sewer rehabilitation solution which will combine existing spray lining techniques with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology to deliver a fully structural, spray-in-place rehabilitation solution for existing deteriorating rising sewer mains to reduce bursts and improve network resilience.

Cranfield University

The phosphorus (P) challenge in the UK remains unsolved and alternatives need to be explored, Cranfield Univerity and Microvi propose the new Bio-mineral P removal (BMPR) technology that offers the benefits of no coagulant use, high effluent quality through operation of an intensified reactor and with convenient P recovery.

Lancaster University

The project addresses an urgent industry need for the removal of steeply increasing concentrations of DOC from peatland-fed raw waters using a sustainable technology based on linearly-scalable oscillatory baffle flow process and innovative nanomagneto-composite sorbents.

ANAMAD Ltd

ANAMAD Ltd. will develop a new kind of advanced oxidative process simultaneously generating UV and reactive oxygen species within a water column, requiring no additional chemicals and consumables and efficiently removing persistent and emerging contaminants in a sustainable way.

REVAR , ICMEA-UK Ltd

Renewable Energy Via Aqueous-phase Reforming (REVAR) is a highly efficient process taking contaminated wastewater and extracting significant energy content from the organic matter while co-producing clean water that can be recycled into the water industry.

Cardiff University

To meet the safe water challenges of tomorrow and contribute to chlorine elimination, we are developing green catalytically generated hydrogen peroxide for potable water disinfection.
