R&D and sustainability
SERVYECO has an active and dynamic R&D Department. Innovation is seen as a fundamental and necessary part of our company’s DNA and for this reason, we have invested significant resources into it. Our aim is the design of exclusive eco-innovative products that allow us to offer profitable solutions to the major technological and environmental challenges of our market.
We contribute to the circular economy by harnessing and using resources efficiently, preserving the environment in a way that is safer for everyone, improving the quality of our customers’ water and offering a new life to treated wastewater, enabling it to be reused.
We promote research and development to serve people, industry, and society as a whole. We have been leading European LIFE programmes in cooperation with technological organisations and companies allowing us to advance towards more sustainable and efficient products for over 20 years.

R&D PROJECT
Life Safe T Water
New innovative eco drinking water treatment based on one-step chemical technology, using a multifunctional natural polymer.
This technology allows us to eliminate all corrosive chemicals commonly used as inorganic coagulants (aluminum and iron base), polymers based on polyacrylamide and other dangerous neutralizing agents, improving safety in the handling of products, maintenance of treatment facilities and the quality of water for human consumption.

General objectives
Safe T Water
Currently the project has as immediate objectives to achieve an improved coagulant / flocculant performance, neutralizing the loads and attracting the particles in suspension.
To achieve a multifunctional effect, being able to treat the effluent in 1 step, replacing up to 3 different types of products and minimizing the necessary equipment.
To protect against corrosion of metal parts, as it does not increase the conductivity of the medium..
To completely eliminate the use of corrosive and dangerous inorganic coagulants such as aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride, favoring the recovery of sludge.
To propose an environmentally friendly solution, not corrosive or toxic, which favors subsequent biological processes
R&D PROJECT
Life Newest
New treatment for phosphorus removal in urban wastewater based on natural coagulants and recycling of the sludge generated LIFE16 ENV/ES/000156 (LIFE NEWEST)
The main objective is the industrial demonstration of a new innovative and environmentally friendly technology for the total elimination of phosphorus from wastewater in urban and industrial treatment plants and the recycling of sludge generated in agriculture.

R&D PROJECT
Life Adnatur
El principal objetivo es la validación, evaluación y demostración industrial de una nueva e innovadora tecnología, medioambientalmente sostenible, basada en el uso de productos naturales para el tratamiento primario de aguas residuales, tanto a nivel urbano como a nivel industrial.
La implantación de esta tecnología repercutirá en una mejora económica, técnica y ambiental, ya que no produce desechos químicos peligrosos procedentes de los tratamientos físico – químicos de aguas residuales. Además, se fija como objetivo la mejora de la eficiencia de los coagulantes en los procedimientos de tratamiento de aguas residuales, en comparación con las alternativas actuales.
Para demostrarlo, se instalarán dos prototipos de tratamiento de aguas residuales, a escala industrial y a nivel urbano.

The project ended in August 2021 with surprising results, conclusions:
It has been demonstrated that the new technology is suitable for the chemical precipitation of phosphorus in WWTPs with an average industrial input.
The products of the BEWAT range improve the quality of the effluent in terms of reduction of Conductivity and high removal yields of Suspended Solids and Chemical Oxygen Demand.
The products developed in this project allow a reduction in the concentration of chlorides and iron in the effluent compared to the use of ferric chloride.
The range improves the sedimentation of the sludge in the secondary decantation units, with consequent savings in pumping hours.
Improvement of effluent quality by reducing the concentration of Suspended Solids in the supernatant.
Bewat improves the sludge line of the WWTP by increasing the percentage of dry matter in the flotation and sludge dehydration units, reducing the load contribution to the head of the plant.
They allow significant savings in the consumption of chemical reagents, due to the increase in the dryness of the sludge.
