From Waste to Resource: ZERO BRINE Workshop

ZERO BRINE is hosting a side meeting at the 5th European Water Innovation Conference co-organised by EURECAT, FACSA, IQE, REVOLVE, SEALEAU.

When: 11 December 2019, 9:00 - 11:00

Where: Palacio de Congresos de Zaragoza, Plaza Lucas Miret Rodriguez 1, 50018 Zaragoza, Spain

Process industries are a major source of brine – complex saline-impaired effluents that are a serious threat to the environment and costly for companies to manage. Yet brine consists of many resources such as minerals, salts, and metals and water. During this workshop challenges, needs and solutions associated with brine in process industries will be identified by companies, policy makers and research institutions.

ZERO BRINE will share the latest results of the pilot plants in the chemical, water, textile and coal industry across Europe and how this innovative technology is applicable and scalable to a broad range of industries.

Discover the economic opportunities by closing the loop and lessening the environmental impacts of production and register today!
