Due to changes in climate, process water for industry is becoming increasingly scarce, while valuable salts are lost through waste streams. The Odysseus project is working on innovative, energy-efficient technologies to recover water and salts from industrial brine streams.
Together with other technology companies, research institutes and industry partners, Colubris is working to scale up advanced membrane and extraction technologies. By leveraging our expertise in wastewater treatment, we help develop sustainable solutions that go beyond conventional technologies.
The goal? More reuse of water and salts, less waste and lower energy costs. This project, in which the University of Twente, Lenntech, Nobian, ISPT foundation and Shell also participate, contributes to a future-proof and circular industry.
During the project, two pilot units, including a brine concentrator and Reverse Osmosis pilot unit, will be utilized. Students will conduct research using these units and Colubris will provide recommendations on the project's direction and assist in analyzing the test results.
