OUTLINE CHART OF THE ALL-GAS PROJECT
Aqualia was chosen to lead the All-gas project because of its
broad experience in managing and operating Waste Water
Treatment Plants since it is currently managing more than 300
facilities of this type around the world. “We are converting what
was formerly considered mere waste into a sustainable source
of bioenergy”, Frank Rogalla, head of the Innovation and Te-
chnology division f Aqualia at the London presentation of the
project.
Denise Green of Hart Energy, re-
presenting the Algae Cluster of the
European Union; Charles Banks, a
researcher at the Southampton Uni-
versity; and Miguel Jurado, deputy
general manager of Aqualia and
chairman of the project’s scientific
committee.
The project is in keeping with the commitment of FCC’s water
management subsidiary to R+D+i as a key element of its stra-
tegy. The Research and Development project is currently focu-
sed on sustainable technologies. Also part of this program is the
“Cenit Vida” Project within the CDTI Program of Strategic Natio-
nal Consortiums in Technical Research which seeks the total use
of microalgae by applying advanced cultivation, harvesting, and
transformation technologies.
Aqualia is involved in nearly 20 active research projects totalling
65 million Euros. The Company is also working with national and
international associations that promote innovation and participa-
tes in water and biomass technological platforms (for example,
Bioplat) with the support of the Ministry of Economy and Com-
petitiveness.
Aqualia is part of FCC, one of the
leading European Citizen Services
Groups, specialising in manage-
ment of all activities related to end-
to-end water management. It is
also one of the few companies in
the world capable of offering solu-
tion for each type of water use, do-
mestic, agricultural, or industrial. As the third water company in
the world, it manages contracts with more than 1100 cities and
towns and operates nearly 200 potable water treatment facili-
ties and more than 30o waste water treatment plants in the 17
countries where it operates, providing services to more than 28
million people.
