CALAGUA has laboratories at both the University of Valencia (Burjassot Campus) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Vera Campus). Within the Conca del Carraixet WWTP in Alboraya (Valencia), CALAGUA operates a series of pilot plants treating urban wastewater under actual operating conditions.
Discover the ten research areas our activities are divided into. You will find the traditional wastewater treatments as well as study fields in the more novel systems or those designed to conform to the latest EU and international directives.
LoDif BioControl is a digital platform for the implementation of WWTP control systems in simple steps. The platform has been successfully used in more than 30 Spanish WWTPs, giving satisfactory operating results and significant power savings.
We have wide experience in teaching specific training courses in our different research fields, software and hardware. We give successful training in these specialised skills and tools to wastewater treatment professionals.
We also work on biological systems from the microbial diversity perspective applying NGS (next-generation sequencing) techniques.
CALAGUA continues to work on developing methods of determining WWTP simulator kinetic and stoichiometric parameters by off-line tests, and has managed to create automatic tests to calibrate these models with the BioCalibra device.
