Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea Delegación de la Comunidad Valenciana en Bruselas PROJECT URBANBAT Objectives  To define, through the transfer and application of BATs (Best available technologies), a waste management model for the majority of liquid residuals generated in the maintenance and operation of a fleet of vehicles. Management strategy for these residuals will consist of both reducing environmental hazard and increasing life span. This will take place at the very point of generation, thus minimizing the need for an external management.  To deal with most of the liquid residuals generated as cab washing waters, motor washing waters, waters from rinsing of cooling circuits, cooling fluids, brake fluids and acids from exhausted batteries.  Not only defining this model, but demonstrating its inmediate extrapolation from the fleet of urban collective vehicles in Valencia to any urban transport organisation and/or transport fleets, as well as to other activities with similar problems.

Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea Delegación de la Comunidad Valenciana en Bruselas PROJECT ECODIPTERA Use of larval flies to transform pig slurry into fertilizers and protein Implementation of a management model for the ecologically sustainable treatment of pig manure in the area of Los Serranos Budget: €

Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea Delegación de la Comunidad Valenciana en Bruselas Programme: LIFE-Environment PROJECT ECODIPTERA Objectives Project Background The huge volume of pig manure generated across Europe, and its customary use as fertiliser for agriculture, is the cause of serious environmental problems. These include the leaching of high nitrogen, which causes an excess nutrient enrichment of soil and water, and the emission of odours and greenhouse gases. Furthermore, the use of manure for fertiliser can result in the spreading of pathogenic micro−organisms that can be transferred from animals to people, being spread through air and water.

Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea Delegación de la Comunidad Valenciana en Bruselas Programme: LIFE-Environment PROJECT ECODIPTERA Objectives Project Objectives The project’s main objective is to demonstrate a novel method of treating pig manure. Insects (mainly flies) are used to decompose the waste and transform it into high quality fertiliser that can be applied without negative impacts on environment or health. The compost will be used to fertilise parks, gardens and green areas of the surrounding towns, thereby supporting a campaign to raise awareness of the benefits of the new, environmentally friendly technique.

Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea Delegación de la Comunidad Valenciana en Bruselas PROJECT ZERO PLUS LIFE - Environment € Integral liquid waste management model for surface treatment industries through BATs Programme: LIFE-Environment

Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea Delegación de la Comunidad Valenciana en Bruselas Programme: LIFE-Environment PROJECT ZERO PLUS Objectives Plating industry has been one of the main focus of pollution correction actions through the last years. However, zero discharge is an incomplete achievement if we look at the unavoidable management of spent exhausted rinse baths and negreases, and the final pollution fractions, usually with external management. ZERO PLUS will define a management model of these liquid wastes from the surface treatment industry through the integrated application of known techniques that will be reasonably characterised as candidates to BATs. The Project will cover all liquid wastes generated by the typical processes of Duch an industry (corrosion protection functional coatings, and decorative applications of consumer products), Which are mostly distinct by the complex requirements of its physicochemical sewage: Negreases, acid pickling, Cyanided Cu, bright Ni, decorative Cr and Zn- Ni alloy baths, etc., and associated rinses.
