Reverse osmosis (RO) is the most employed technology for water desalination. Energy consumption and membrane fouling represent some of the major concerns in membrane technology because they increase the costs associated with treated water. Membrane lifespan is mainly correlated to the quality of the water and the operation condition and it is estimated that often membrane lifespan is 5 to 10 years. It has been calculated that 81,425 EoL membranes are disposed annually in Spain (1000 Tn).

Control time is a common control procedure in companies that have a relatively large volume of workers. To manage this marking there are different systems that allow the worker to record the time of entry and exit to their workplace. These systems require the performance of some voluntary action by the worker.

A Basque small company that designs and produces tailor-made ceramic & cermet formulations wants to produce a new specific product for combustion fumes heat recovery and condensation technologies.

The Spanish start up is focus on smart solutions for water with tools as artificial intelligence platforms for modelling fluvial ecosystems, monitoring effluents, anticipating water pollution catastrophes, characterising fresh water behaviours, etc. The start up works on understanding the problem (remote water monitoring) and developing the solution (a deep tech platform). The technology offered is based on water pictures to monitor several water parameters as: turbidity, conductivity, pH, etc. The prototype is validated by the main Spanish water agencies (early adopters) during 2019, its c
