The first energy and cost-efficient disruptive ZLD Technology for dredged material management, allowing circular economy and zero pollution

Grant period	2023-03-01 - 2025-02-28
Funding body	European Union
Call number	HORIZON-EIC-2022-ACCELERATOR-01
Grant number	190180588
Identifier	G:(EU-Grant)190180588

Note: Dredging is an essential activity to maintain maritime and river routes, coastal protection to flooding, among others. Every year, over 2 Bm3 of sediments are dredged around the world, 20-40% of which are highly polluted and must be treated before being disposed to landfill (as current treatment and separation technologies do not allow to cost-efficiently valorise the water and the solids from this dredged material). Water Challenge has developed and patented the first energy-efficient truly Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD+) technology able to separate 100% of dredged material into fresh water and crystalized solids in one step, without chemicals and with very low energy consumption (<20 kWh/m3). The aim of this project is to develop a pilot plant of 10 m3/day of capacity to separate and valorise the water and solids from dredged materials. This plant will be pivotal to showcase the technology and business model, before scaling it and replicating it around Europe.
