Circular economy aims at reducing the production-consumption system of both virgin material and energy inputs and waste and emission outputs (physical throughput) through the application of material cycles and renewable-based energy cascades. The scope is to reduce waste management and emission control costs together with risks from environmental legislation, as well as to innovate new product design and market opportunities for business.

 

Within this context, Terra&Acqua Tech’s mission is to develop environmental sustainable approaches for farms and industries. This mission is accomplished by integrating  chemistry, engineering, biology, and physics knowledge. Through this multidisciplinary approach,Terra&Acqua Tech develops innovative tools, technologies, methodologies and know how for:

 

• characterization, protection and environmental remediation
• waste valorization
• enhancement and preservation of ecosystems and natural resources
• mitigation of effects of anthropogenic activities.
• increasing environmental sustainability of industrial agriculture and fisher sectors
• environmental restoration and waste management
• renewable energy
• greenhouse gas reduction

 

Terra&Acqua Tech’s multidisciplinary team is organized into 8 units:

• U1 Water quality and treatment
• U2 Water resources, environmental geochemistry and geomaterials
• U3 Water systems management and sanitary engineering
• U4 Metallurgy, corrosion and polymeric materials
• U5 Chemical innovative strategies for agri-environment development
• U6 Monitoring and sustainable management of agricultural and aquatic ecosystems
• U7 Recovery and sustainable valorization of biomass
• U8 Sensor and semiconductor Laboratory

 

Areas of expertise:

• Agriculture, farms and zootechnics
• Aquaculture and fishing
• Renewable energies
• Water treatments and water distribution networks
• Health and wellness

 

Services for companies:

• Chemical and microbiological analysis
• Environmental monitoring (abiotic and biota matrix)
• Ecosystem services
• Product certifications for pharmaceutical and chemical industry
• Studies for the DOP and IGP certification of products of the agri-food chain
• Recovery of added-value compound from biomass, residues or waste
• Remediation of contaminated sites
• Development of new green products and new eco-sustainable processes
• Studies and development of technologies for the protection of the sea and of the coast, for fishing and aquaculture, for agriculture, for the environment and renewable energies
• Management of water distribution networks, characterization and monitoring of consumption
• Study of waste water treatment plants and sanitation of water and environments
