We commissioned a mobile URIDIS unit in a demonstration container that includes a toilet, urinal and shower. Next to our system that will process the collected urine, a greywater recycling technology will provide treated water as flush water for the toilets. The demonstration system will be showcased on regattas across Italy and France. 

HYDROHM is proud to join the CAPTURE initiative, a multidisciplinary platform that wants to deliver a disruptive contribution to the circular economy by bridging academia and industry. Within CAPTURE we find likeminded partners to accelerate technology development and be at the forefront of innovation.

We received the award for best flash presentation on the 11th conference of the UK wastewater network, organised by Cranfield university on the 22nd of November 2023 and sponsored by the IWA UK Committee.

HYDROHM is proud to be a partner in the European LUCRA project. The project will develop an integrated biorefinery process for the production of succinic acid from biowaste feedstocks. The consortium is a complementary mix of academia and industry, active on the feedstock, process and product utilization sides. HYDROHM will be responsible for product extraction and purification from fermentation.

We are very happy to welcome our new colleague, Advait Palakodeti. Advait holds a PhD in chemical engineering at KU Leuven. At HYDROHM, he will work as R&D engineer on resource recovery projects.

We are happy to team up with SEMiLLA Maritime Solutions in a new consortium to promote space technologies for wastewater recycling on earth. The European Space Agency has commissioned a mobile unit for demonstration of urine treatment and greywater recycling. We will finalize and deploy the unit next spring!

On December 13^th, we welcomed Christophe Lasseur, Head of the MELiSSA program of ESA and Marc Vallois from SEMiLLA Maritime Solutions in Nazareth.

Together with our manufacturing partner Spraying Systems Autojet Europe we have designed a compact and mobile URIDIS installation, an important step in our mission to enable safe and sustainable toilets. All hardware is integrated in one skid that can treat 25 L of urine (100 toilet visits) and produce 75 L of disinfecting flush water per day.

HYDROHM and Pureblue Water teamed up in a CrossRoads2 Sustainable Energy project to develop an electrochemical technology that enables cost-effective and energy-neutral decentralised water and sludge treatment. In this video, our project engineer Fabian De Wilde explains together with Alessandro di Biase from PureBlue Water our E-HYDRO technology.

On November 17th, we presented our Vlakwa Open Call 2020 project ‘ELECTRODIS’ at the Vlakwa Culinary innovation walk in Kortrijk. In the ELECTRODIS project, HYDROHM and EKOPAK developed and evaluated an innovative technology to replace the use of chemicals for the cleaning and protection of water treatment membranes, by on-site electrochemical upgrading of RO-concentrate, which is currently a waste stream.
