There is still unknown scientific knowledge and untapped potential since only 19% of the ocean is explored. BCThubs will directly have impact on different European strategies defining a state-of-the-art approach to support the UWCH.
The new Horizon Europe BCTHubs project aims to build in the participating Widening countries (i.e. Greece, Bulgaria and Malta), Blue Culture Technology Excellence Hubs, as permanent structures, supporting with new innovative solutions and products, the sustainable protection, restoration, valorisation, management, accessibility and promotion of UWCH.
AquaBioTech’s Role in the BCThubs project will be:

Detailed mapping of the existing quadruple helix stakeholders
Developing the Maltese hub ecosystem

MELoDIZER Kick-Off Meeting
2023-01-30 - 2023-01-31 | (Torino, Italy)
We are glad to announce that we are part of the new Horizon Europe Programme Project MELoDIZER.
A hybrid kick-off meeting has been planned on the 30th -31st of January, with the 18 partners, in Torino, Italy. On the agenda two full days of introduction, presentations, and discussions about the different phases of the project. Representing AquaBioTech Group on this first meeting is our Aquaculture Consutlant Thanasis Chantzaropoulos.

What is MELoDIZER?
MEloDIZER implements high performance membranes and modules in strategic applications of Membrane distillation (MD), hence providing the decisive step for the success of MD. These core components are fabricated with a focus on feasible wide uptake and on sustainability, substituting harmful materials and protocols with >80% of benign solvents and relying on green chemistry principles. Both flat-sheets and innovative hollow-fibres are produced, striking the optimum between productivity and energy efficiency, as well minimising fouling/wetting phenomena, also by applying novel sacrificial coatings while membranes are in situ. Optimised modules are developed with a focus on hydrodynamics and energy recovery improvement.
These activities are strongly supported by sustained modelling tasks, conducted at different scales to (i) control the relationship between membrane properties and performance, (ii) customise module geometry and (iii) increase system efficiency and automation. The membranes and modules are thus rationally installed as core components of four MD prototypes spanning three orders of magnitude of productivity. Two protypes (2-5m3/day, 0.5-2m3/day) are demonstrated in industrial facilities (textile, beverage, chemical industry) to reuse wastewater (70-90%), thus reducing water footprint and approaching zero waste, as well as to recover valuable nutrients as secondary raw materials from aquaculture wastewater.

Our role in MEloDIZER

Participate in the valorization of waste streams and provide wastewater for use in demo sites to determine the possibility of nutrient recovery (targeting P & N).
Participate in the training on the use of the prototype filtration system.
Provide data for Life Cycle Assessment, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, techno-economic assessment, business cases, market opportunities and regulation assessment.
Co-lead the training and capacity-building task.

More details on the MEloDIZER project coming soon, so stay tuned!!

What is the FoodLand project?
FoodLAND project aims to develop, implement, and validate innovative, scalable, and sustainable technologies. These are aimed at supporting the nutritional performance of local food systems in Africa, while strengthening agro-biodiversity and food diversity to incorporate dietary diversity.
FoodLAND will foster nutrition-responsive and sustainable agro-biodiversity with the aim to empower smallholder farmers and food operators, in order to reinforce the productivity and resilience of food supply chains. It will create new market opportunities on a local and global scale, thereby encouraging the flourishing of rural communities. These achievements will benefit both African and European consumers by providing them with traditional-based, healthy, nutritious foods, while encouraging the diffusion of African diets and aiding the fight against malnutrition, particularly in women and children.
