The ROMEO project aims to use anaerobic digestion, a widely used technology for the treatment of high load waste water, for the production of value added products (energy, fertilizer, nutrients) using advanced control methodologies and monitoring with sensors. For the validation of this process a pilot plant of integral valorization of agro-industrial organic residues will be implemented.
In order to achieve this objective, a consortium has been formed with 5 SMEs with different activities that provide the appropriate value chain for the successful execution of the project. The leading partner ROCA ROIBAS, an instrumentation and control company, will have the support of a multidisciplinary consortium that provides the necessary capabilities to achieve an optimization of the integral plant for valorization and use of the obtained resources: AQUANOR is a company with proven experience in water and waste treatment technologies to develop and validate the ROMEO DEMO plant; INDUTEC as consulting engineering on energy efficiency of industrial processes in food sector; Centro de Valorización Ambiental del Noroeste as an organic waste recovery company; and XILOGA as organic waste manager and end user of the ROMEO plant. At the same time, the consortium has the participation of research entities such as AIMEN, USC-BIOGRUP and USC-LTA.
