Project mission
SWOT aims to demonstrate the performance of V-Rotex, an innovative Italian technology covered by a PCT patent extended to Italy, Europe, and Brazil, for the treatment of civil and industrial wastewater, from the pharmaceutical industries, which represents a significant technological challenge to due to the presence of chemical substances that are recalcitrant to biodegradation. It designs flexible and transportable systems for the treatment of industrial wastewater that are sustainable from a technological, energetic, and economic point of view. This requires the implementation of advanced wastewater treatment technologies to effectively eliminate these substances and ensure the safety of the environment and public health. SWOT is financed by the “Competitive Repositioning of RSI - Sea Economy, Green Economy and Agrifood” Call for proposal. project aims to introducing advanced water reuse technologies in the textile sector, improving sustainability and reducing environmental impact. Located on a region known for its textile industry, the R&D activities focus on less impactful membrane technologies based on nanofiltration, technologies for removing emerging pollutants, biologically based treatments with reduced sludge production and the use of innovative digital sensors and integration of IoT for real-time monitoring.
