Innovating Sustainable Water Systems
Sustain-R is an EU-funded research project focused on nutrient recovery and aquatic ecosystem restoration.
Objectives of the Project
Sustain-R aims to pioneer innovative methods for restoring aquatic ecosystems by recovering and reusing excess nutrients. The project combines scientific research with practical solutions to improve water quality and support long-term sustainability.
Consortium
Sustain-R is powered by a diverse consortium of leading European institutions. Each partner contributes unique expertise in water treatment, nutrient recovery, ecological assessment, and pilot-scale innovation, ensuring a holistic approach to aquatic ecosystem restoration.
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Leading the design and scaling of Capacitive Deionization (CDI) systems, and developing membrane-free devices for transforming nitrates into reusable ammonia.
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
Responsible for simulating and testing electrocatalytic devices in agricultural landscapes, while assessing aquatic ecosystem health and associated services.
AERIS Tecnologías Ambientales
Designing, constructing, and operating a pilot-scale plant for biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal using both synthetic and real water samples.
Aarhus University
Advancing CDI technology in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS), with a focus on ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate removal in trout feeding systems.
Supported by Water4All
Sustain-R is funded under the Water4All 2023 Joint Transnational Call (JTC) on Aquatic Ecosystem Services, a European initiative that supports cutting-edge research in sustainable water management.
Water4All brings together governments, research institutions, and stakeholders across Europe to advance innovative solutions for water security. Through this program, Sustain-R contributes to the shared mission of safeguarding water resources, restoring ecosystems, and strengthening resilience against environmental challenges.
