Water smart industrial symbiosis
ULTIMATE aims to create economic value and increase sustainability by valorising resources within the water cycle.
Wastewater plays a key role both as a reusable resource but also as a carrier for energy and materials to be extracted, treated, stored and reused within a dynamic socio-economic and business oriented industrial ecosystem.

Circular solutions
The circular solutions adapted in the project cover the three areas: water recycling and reuse, extracting and exploitation of energy, and material recovery.
Reuse wastewater
Recover, refine & reuse wastewater from industries & municipalities
Exploit energy
Extract & exploit energy – combined water-energy management, treatment process as energy producers, water-enabled heat transfer, storage & recovery
Recover Materials
Nutrient mining & reuse, extraction & reuse of high-added-value exploitable compounds
