As described in Deliverable D5.7 (Capabilities & Human Resources), during the project A

DUE started to internally develop the distinctive capabilities and competences in the

engineering, manufacturing and installation of the new technology. Technicians, sales force

and technical-commercial staff (quotations and offers are customized, following specific

productive and economical needs of customers and potential stakeholders) have been involved

in many different activities that A DUE put in place in order to develop a distinctive and

specialized know-how concerning the new technology. This will lead A DUE straight to its

objective to realize, promote and sell the water treatment system as effectively as possible.

Taking part as visitors to trade fairs and conferences allowed the project team to obtain info

and data take-over on the state of the art of water treatment technologies, on alternative

solutions proposed from potential competitors, on possible suppliers of technologies provided

in water treatment. During the trade fairs attended by A DUE as exhibitor (see Deliverable

D6.16 on Public events participation) A DUE team not only focused on promotional

activities, but also had the opportunity to collect these info.

With the same purpose, the following conferences were attended by the project team:

1) 2nd Food Waste Management conference, held in Cremona (Italy) on April 22

nd 2016, on

“Management of process water waste and effluents coming from the food industry”, aimed

to the rationalization of water consumption and to the possibilities for reuse and energy

recovery of wastewater. The event was organized by CremonaFiere, DLG International e

AITA Associazione Italiana Tecnologia Alimentare and it was addressed to: managers and

technicians in the agro-food industry, producers of equipment and water treatment plants,

renewable energy operators, associations and institutions

Below the programme for the conference:

2) 20th

European Forum on Eco-innovation

The 20th European Forum on Eco-innovation was held in Tallinn, Estonia, on 26-28 October

2016. The Forum examined financing opportunities for eco-innovative SMEs and showcased

successful companies who have succeeded in attracting investors and growing their business.

It explored the enabling factors and challenges of transitioning to a circular business model

and addressed these through the lens of business, finance and public sector. The Forum also

provided an opportunity for participants from across Europe to:





participate in a business-to-investors matchmaking session (this event brought

together the most promising companies, active in several Eco-innovation sectors, and

"cleantech" investors in bilateral meetings). The project participated to this event

actively;

learn about the innovative technologies with performance claims verified by the

Environmental Technology Verification (ETV);

discover the best performing eco-innovative companies showcasing their

environmental and business accomplishments at the European Business Awards for

the Environment Ceremony;

find out about successful eco-innovative projects funded under different EU funding

programmes and financial instruments;

take part in site visits to eco-innovative companies who have successfully turned

investments into circular business models.

The event was jointly organised by the European Commission’s Directorate General for

Environment and the Ministry of the Environment of the Republic of Estonia.

3) 4th

International Conference on Sustainable Design and Manufacturing

The 2017 4th

Edition of the International Conference on SDM - Sustainable Design and

Manufacturing, organised by KES International in partnership with Alma Mater Studiorum –

University of Bologna and held in Bologna (Italy) on April 26th-28th, has been a privileged

high level scientific context to disseminate the major results of the Less. Water Bev-Tech.

Project.

The conference official website is at the following link:


while the meeting agenda is available here:

http://sdm-17.kesinternational.org/programme.php

SDM-2017 consisted of keynote talks, oral presentations, invited sessions and workshops. It

covered the theory and applications of sustainable design and manufacturing, and related

areas, whilst providing an excellent platform for the presentation and discussion of new data

and concepts, leading to knowledge exchange and the generation of new ideas. Dedicate

attention is paid on sustainability issues, plants, technologies and solutions to decrease the

environmental impact of industrial processes. Dedicated parallel invited sessions were on this

topic in accordance with the conference scope:

“Sustainability is a topical issue. The idea of sustainability was first defined in 1987 in a

Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: "Sustainability means

being able to satisfy current needs without compromising the possibility for future

generations to satisfy their own needs". Ten year later, three dimensions of sustainability

were underlined through the concept of the Triple Bottom Line: Environment; Economy;

Society. Therefore, sustainability is interdisciplinary and it implies a holistic approach and

regards all the aspects of human being life. A relevant is played by the Industry. Focusing on

Design and Manufacturing, sustainability must be considered from the concept to the end of

life of any industrial product. The KES-SDM series of conferences encompass a broad

spectrum of sustainable design and manufacturing related subjects. The following list

provides examples of applicable topics; however, the list is not meant to exclude other

applicable areas.”

6) VDMA water-technology@drinktec Symposium, a lecture and discussion event on

the topic of water, held at Drinkec Fair 2017 in Munich, Germany. The Symposium,

which was part of the official program of the fair and free of charge, provided a compact

and complete overview about water-related solutions for sustainable beverage production.

The 34 lectures presented at the water-technology@drinktec symposium addressed the

urgent question as to how to make good, economic use of water.





The topics cover issues involved in water treatment, wastewater treatment, process

optimisation and quality control for process and product water, offering technical

solutions, practical examples. Focus on items which were very interesting for the project

team: reverse osmosis as one of the methods for producing product and process water,

with an essential role played by customer quality requirements, such as hygienic design,

CIP and sanitising capability; water treatment methods with new mineral adsorbents for

effective, low-cost removal of semimetals and heavy metals from drinking water;

reducing water consumption rates trough closed-loop water recovery solutions as an

approach for saving water in water-scarce countries.

Below the programme for the symposium (lectures in English language)
