Likuid Nanotek S.L. (Likuid) is a technological
company based in San Sebastián which manu-
factures innovative ceramic membrane-based
filtration solutions for wastewater, energy and
industrial processes. After an intensive R&D
work, the company was born in 2008 leaded by
professionals with more than 20 years of
experience in water and energy engineering.
Combining the technical ceramics expertise and
the process-engineering know-how, the compa-
ny has developed a big portfolio of ceramic
membrane-based equipment and solutions for
the industry.
Likuid is currently selling to more than 15 coun-
tries and implementing up to date advanced fil-
tration technologies in the water&wastewater,
oil&gas and industrial markets.
Our product:
Likuid´s CleanOil technology is a unique technology for the
treatment and reuse of oily wastewaters generated in
oil&gas production facilities, saving up to $8-10/barrel and
minimizing the environmental impact.
The technology integrates innovative ceramic nanomem-
branes for oil/water separation, a back pulse device for
membrane cleaning and an advanced software CleanFlux,
for fouling monitoring and control.
The technology will solve urgent needs regarding the pro-
duced water (PW) treatment and reuse, which cannot be
properly addressed in terms of costs and functionality by
alternatives from competitors. Up to now, the vast majority
of PW has not been reused but reinjected into the ground
for disposal. This has been working for decades, but there
is great room for improvement if the main drawbacks that
limit reusing are solved. In this sense, the main users’
needs addressed with the technology are:
1. Availability of high quality treated water so that it can
be reused instead of fresh water for water flooding or
EOR
2. Reduction of fresh water expenditure;
3. Compliance with increasingly strict legislation that af-
fects to water disposal into sensitive areas;
4. Minimize the waste volume;
5. Treatment and sanitation of tailing ponds;
6. On-site reuse of heated water in Steam Assisted
Gravity Drainage (SAGD).
The innovation will be highly advantageous in terms of
CAPEX and OPEX in comparison to other state-of-the-art
technologies, with cost reductions of 17 - 70%. Concerning
its functionality, it is the only one that can guaranty a high
quality water achieving oil removal >99.9%, with minimum
footprint (-50%) and energy consumption.
Our unique selling points are:
Superb effluent quality.
Robust and reliable.
Minimum footprint.
100% modular.
Easy operation and maintenance.
Our target audience:
We are mainly looking for potential customers: Engineer-
ing companies and OEMs focused on Chinese and Asian
water&wastewater, oil&gas and filtration markets are wel-
come.
We are open to discuss also partnership and distribution
agreements in several different approaches, even investing
partnerships or others could be considered.
Why us:
Aside from the recognition received from the European
Union’s Horizon 2020 - SME Instrument Programme,
Likuid has been awarded in 2016 by the Basque Govern-
ment, entrepreneurial excellence ("Toribio Echeverria
Awards"). Morevover, the project will be demonstrated in
Canada.

Svenska Aerogel is a research and develop-
ment company that commercializes a patented
version of the material Quartzene® in various
applications. The commercialization is done in
close cooperation with industrial partners rep-
resenting different key business areas. Svenska
Aerogel, with a total of 13 employees has its
headquarters and production facility in Gävle
and office in Stockholm.
Svenska Aerogel develops and sells
Quartzene®, a material produced with a flexi-
ble, patented and a very cost-efficient produc-
tion method. Quartzene® is used as an additive
by our industrial partners in many different ap-
plications areas. Our focus areas today are insu-
lation, filtration and paint and coatings.
Our product:
Svenska Aerogel offers an innovative adsorption material
called Quartzene®, which can be used for effective filtra-
tion of both gases and liquids. Quartzene® is a silica
based, very clean, nanoporous material with a large inner
surface. It is this large inner surface that makes
Quartzene® an excellent filter material, which can also be
easily customized to adsorb or absorb certain specific
molecules.
A molecular air filter containing Quartzene® can improve
the indoor air quality and climate considerably. The large
specific inner surface of Quartzene® makes it a very ef-
fective adsorbent of different air pollution such as sulfur
dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ammonia
(NH4), and also organic compounds such as VOC, formal-
dehyde (CH2O) and toluene (C7H8).
Quartzene® is also a very effective adsorption material
for the purification of various liquids and oils.
Quartzene® can be used to purify different edible liq-
uids, such as alcoholic and sweet beverages such as beer,
wine, juice, syrup and sugar. Quartzene® can also be
customized for water purification. It can be designed to
adsorb specific contaminants in both drinking or waste
waters.
We are today working with different partners to develop
customized filters for both air and liquid applications.
Today we have air ready adsorbents for several common
air pollutants such as SO2, NOx and VOCs. We also sever-
al ongoing projects for more specific pollutants and
pending patent application.
Our target audience:
The strategy for Svenska Aerogel is based on close coop-
eration with industrial partners to develop new applica-
tions with Quartzene®. We are looking for long term re-
lationship business partners who already are established
on the Asian air and water treatment markets. Partners
that have an active and strong sales and market organi-
zation, operating in all or parts of the Asian markets.
There is a lot of potential to in customizing the
Quartzene® adsorbents, so we are also looking for part-
ners interested in developing new and better adsorbent
materials based on Quarzene® together with us to bring
to the Asian market.
Today Svenska Aerogel is at this Trade Fair mainly look-
ing for two different types of business partners:
1. Customers interested in buying our Quartzene®
adsorbents to use in their own air pollution con-
trol and air purification products. Today we have
some ready absorbents that can be integrated and
directly used in different air filter applications.
2. Cooperation partners, who have a specific pollu-
tion challenge in air or water applications that
Quartzene® can be customized to solve. Svenska
Aerogel has a well-equipped laboratory where we can
tailor make smaller samples of modified Quartzene®
material and perform different analysis and a pilot
production where we can produce larger quantities
and modified Quartzene® in a controlled environ-
ment. We also have a broad contact net within both
the industrial and academic world. Through these
contacts, we have the access to the top experts and
equipment’s for different tests and analysis in the
various fields.

NVP Energy is an innovative wastewater treat-
ment company who secured the exclusive world-
wide license rights to the unique wastewater
treatment technology developed at the National
University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG) for the life-
time of the patent.
The technology was developed over ten years of
R&D carried out by the microbiology department
at NUIG where an anaerobic technology that
would be capable of treating low-strength
wastewater at ambient temperatures was devel-
oped. 35 man-years of R&D involving a team of
eleven PhDs, a series of different microbial com-
binations and bioreactor module designs towards
the delivery of a technology that achieved, at psy-
chrophilic temperatures, a desired removal rate of
suspended solids and reduced oxygen retention
within an acceptable retention time. This was
tested at lab-scale and subsequently expanded to
pilot-scale and finally to full-scale commercial de-
ployment.
Our product:
NVP Energy has developed an innovative Low Temperature
Anaerobic Digestion wastewater treatment process that
addresses mandatory treatment for low strength, low tem-
perature wastewater
We have developed an off-site fabricated, modular
wastewater treatment solution which treats low strength
wastewater to a high standard, producing a high quality
biogas by-product.
The technology treats wastewater at ambient temperatures
using a process which removes 80% of Chemical Oxygen
Demand (COD) and 50% of Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
High quality biogas with 85%+ methane content is pro-
duced as a by-
product which
can be utilised
on-site.
The technology is
targeted at low-
strength
wastewater pro-
ducers with COD
and TSS concen-
trations of up to
6,000 mg/l and
1,000 mg/l respectively. Typical industries generating
wastewater with these characteristics include production
companies in the Food & Drink industry (Dairy, Meat Pro-
cessing, Brewing, Distilling, Malting, Beverage, Bottling and
Pharma) and Municipal wastewater treatment operators.
Our energy positive and carbon neutral technology pro-
vides treatment at a fraction of the cost of other wastewater
treatment technologies. In addition, while alternative
wastewater treatment technologies require a large foot-
print, have high energy costs and offer no payback to the
customer, NVP Energy’s solution has a modular compact
plant footprint, offers dramatically reduced operating costs
(up to 60%) and generates sufficient energy as a by-
product to generate revenue and thereby to offer a pay-
back on capital spend averaging 3 years.
The our technology offers a unique, sustainable solution to
this low-strength wastewater market where operators are
either confined to using other aerobic and anaerobic meth-
odologies with consequent high operating costs, or contin-
ue to pay high and increasing trade effluent charges to util-
ity providers for their wastewater to be treated off site.
Our target audience: We intend to meet with prospective customers, developing
a medium term pipeline of opportunities and gaining an
insight into the drivers towards adopting our product in the
Asia region. Insights into the pain points that prospective
customers within our target market sectors would be ex-
tremely valuable in developing a strategy for the Asian/Non
-EU market.
Of equal importance is to meet with prospective partners.
We are focused on developing a network of partners as it
expands its geographical reach.
We will place increasing focus on building indirect sales
through a co-sales partner model with partner contractors,
water and wastewater treatment contractors, and suitable
partners in specific geographical locations each of which
will directly promote and sell the technology to end users
on NVP Energy’s behalf.

Our product:
Access to local, country-wide or global status information
and trends of water quality in inland surface waters is
essential for high-level water-resource-management of
governmental bodies, but also for many concrete and
actual water related issues such as sedimentation in dams
or cyanobacteria blooms in water reservoirs and bathing
lakes. Information on e.g. sediments in the water column,
algae and eutrophication support efficient planning on
localized comprehensive measurements, environmental
impact or directive monitoring. Relevant water quality
information parameters are provided extremely cost-
efficient and with a minimum logistical effort for millions
of water bodies by the eoFRESH service. The eoFRESH
service takes advantage of various earth observation sat-
ellite sensors, and provides an easy web based access to
global water quality information through the eoApp®
web application. The spatial resolution ranges from 2m to
500m. The 10m – 30m resolution services are based on
up to weekly records, and 300m-500m resolution on daily
records. Customers use the eoFRESH service on a contin-
uous regular base (e.g. the state authority Baden-
Württemberg in Germany, companies such as Amec-
Foster-Wheeler in USA), or profit from a high-resolution
survey on a global scale (e.g. UNESCO).
Our target audience:
EOMAP is particularly interested in three major client

Our thirty years’ commercial experience in the
analytical sectors reveal our ability to introduce
innovative techniques and instruments along
the time. We have technical and commercial
staff able to solve problems and identify tech-
nical solutions.
Since 2010 we have started to produce our own
instruments for environmental monitoring and
sampling of pollutants and we will soon start to
produce OdorPrep™, a unique odor sampling
system in compliance with the EN13725:2003. Our product
We will exhibit OdorPrep™: the first real-time monitoring
network which can automatically activate the remote
sampling of the annoying industrial odour emissions for
their later measurement.
Odour emissions are considered the main cause of
disturbance noticed by citizens living near industrial and
agricultural facilities. Therefore odours have become a
priority concern for facility operators and urban planners
that deal with waste, industrial or livestock plants.
Moreover the collection of meaningful samples is subject
to a number of difficulties, due to low concentration and
rapid dispersion.
We combine the sensorial approach (human receptors
complaints) with the advanced sensor technology able to
monitor the air quality and the weather conditions to
sample the odour annoyance automatically at the precise
time that citizens (or the in charge environmental protec-
tion bureau) induce the activation of our standardized
sampling system.
After the sample is taken, authorized entities can remove
and transport the samples to accredited olfactometric
laboratories for the analysis.
Odour complaints can shut down facilities, as negative
publicity and media at-
tention can result in local
or national authorities
limiting or even stopping
industry activities, some-
times facing legal action
and fines.
OdorPrep™ helps indus-
trial sectors in the identifi-
cation of the leaks or the
plants malfunction. So it
brings saving of control costs and penalties.
Our target audience:
Public Entities
Our technology follows European (EN13725) and
International standards about the odor harassments.
We would like to involve public authorities (mainly local
and national authorities that must ensure the air quality
standards) for the validation of the methodology.
Moreover we would collect letters of interest and
possible collaborations with Universities and Research
Institutes involved in the odor matter.
Environmental Consultancy and Laboratories
We intend to meet local accredited laboratories
dedicated to environmental and olfactometric analysis to
show them the business opportunities. Furthermore we
would meet up with environmental consultancy compa-
nies to show the technology and establish partnership for
the commercialization of the network system.

Nafici Enviromental Research (NER) is an
award-winning business developing and com-
mercialising clean pulp and paper production
technology using natural agriculture waste
products. This family-run SME was started in 2013
in the UK following 25 years of sustainable pulp
production experience.
Our product:
Our novel environmentally friendly ECOPULPER process is
designed to turn agri waste product – straw - into high-
quality pulp and paper. NER’s sustainable, close-loop meth-
od overcomes many of the problems associated with cur-
rent straw pulping practices. Our patent-pending ECOPULP-
ER method solves all the above problems by providing turn
-key plant installation to customers in the paper industry
and offering our process on license basis worldwide.
We use a variety of single or mixed straw types (wheat, rice,
barley, oats, etc.) in different conditions, including high
moisture content, and the system is optimised to create
economical and environmental small/medium-size low-
footprint plants that are placed in clusters on agricultural
land spanning no more than a 50-mile radius.
ECOPULPER’s unique selling points are:
produced pulp is cheaper (minimum 30% investment
reduction and lower operational costs per tonne
compared to small-scale straw pulping plants);
straw pulp is stable in price, more accessible and
sustainable (30% less energy use) than hardwood pulp;
100% of process output is used, resulting in no waste;
low energy use – no boiling, digesters or pressure
required;
no chemical waste (all chemicals are recycled in a closed
loop with very little
topup needed);
less water required,
rainwater can be used;
straw is not required
to be dried, chopped or
pre-cleaned,
leading to no additional
storage costs.
Energy levels are opti-
mised throughout the
plant which makes the
whole system uniquely
efficient, inexpensive and
truly low-carbon. Effec-
tively treating
agriculture waste materi-
al, NER process produces
no pollution and adheres
to the highest
environmental standards
in the industry. Adoption of NER system in China brings
positive long-term value to both paper producers, the
government and end-users. By improving
functionality of existing pulp production facilities,
reducing commodity pulp cost, using closed-loop system
with harvested water, minimal energy and most
importantly, addressing the huge problem of
deforestation and hazardous straw residue burning and
rotting (which contributes to green gas production), NER
contribution to sustainable pulp manufacture is an
all-round winner solution. Our method can be applied to
both new-built and already operating plants and can be
easily scaled up.
The economic, environmental and social effect of this
seemingly small adjustment to raw material sourcing in
paper production by substitution of timber with
bio-agricultural waste product alone is game-changing.
In China and internationally, a modified supply chain will
inevitably benefit local economies and integrated
communities by creating new jobs, customers and diverse
income streams for farmers; stimulate regional collaborative
sourcing and supply; save on timber and recycled paper
import costs and offer attractive investment opportunities.
Our target audience:
We are looking for China market knowledge and
international trade experience, ranging from academic
research collaborations to full-scale commercial projects
and sales. Should industry experts be small-, medium-
large-size operators in the pulp & paper and agricultural
sectors, we would like to be able to visit their facilities and
discuss technical capabilities on a high professional level.

NeoZeo aims to promote the usage of bio me-
thane which a “higher-value” and sustainable
source of fuel. High quality bio methane can be
compressed and injected into the natural gas
grid or used as a transport fuel, which can be
sold by producers for roughly 4 times the price
of electricity. The process reduces reliance on
fossil fuel usage and hence could reduce car-
bon emission and lead to a greener environ-
ment for the future.
NeoZeo was established in 2010 as a spin-off
from the prestigious EXSELENT Centre based in
Stockholm University to develop state-of-the-
art gas separation technology. At present, Neo-
Zeo has developed and patented the unique
zeolite which produced an impressive selectivity
rating in excess of 1500 for carbon dioxide cap-
ture, far greater than any other adsorbent on
the market. Since 2016 the company’s demon-
stration module for biogas upgrading has
been successfully tested in Sweden, Latvia and
the UK.
Our product:
NeoZeo would like to exhibit its novel biogas upgrading
technology at the Trade Fair of IE Expo in Shanghai, Chi-
na. Biogas is the by-product of bacterial anaerobic respi-
ration activities and contains a mixture of methane and
carbon dioxide gas. The technology could effectively re-
move the carbon dioxide gas to harvest methane gas, in
high purity, as a source of clean energy. The harvested
bio methane could be used as an alternative source of
vehicle fuel or gas grid injection, hence reducing reliant
on fossil fuels and promote a greener environment for
the future.
NeoZeo’s biogas upgrading system functions upon pres-
sure swing ad-
sorption working
principle, and is
made more cost
efficient through
its development
of a patented
novel zeolite ad-
sorbent that could
effectively capture
carbon dioxide for
biogas upgrading, with an adsorption efficiency outper-
forming all other available market products. Unlike other
biogas upgrading methods such as water, chemical and
physical scrubbing, NeoZeo’s system requires no addi-
tional water and chemicals.
Our target audience:
We intend to meet companies which are producers of
biogas. These companies could be involved in water and
sewage treatment as well as waste management. We
could introduce to these companies the benefits of bio-
gas upgrading for bio methane production and usage as
a clean and renewable fuel for vehicle and gas grid. We
could introduce its biogas upgrading system that are
cost, space and materials efficient and could cater to the
needs of small scale biogas producers which are often
untapped customers by bigger biogas upgrading corpo-
rations. We would also like to establish partnership with
producers of high biogas production capacity as our
technology could also be applied for large scale biogas
upgrading, and could a cost efficient alternative to availa-
ble commercial technologies such as water and chemical
scrubbing. We aim to establish business partnership with
these biogas producers to promote decentralized biogas
upgrading and bio methane usage in China.
Companies such as producers of biogas digesters could
also become potential distribution partners. We could
engage with these companies to promote the merits of
biogas upgrading, and make offer for the companies to
include NeoZeo’s biogas upgrading system as part of
their product packages to biogas producers who would
be interested to produce bio methane on their own.
