Summary
The RITAL project is made up of three entities with extensive experience in the development of biotechnological processes based on microalgae, and aims to respond to technological and training/transfer needs for the development of sustainable microalgae production processes that integrate water treatment. residuals and obtaining products of agricultural and aquaculture interest. Therefore, the objective of the project is to improve existing knowledge in processes based on microalgae for the treatment of wastewater and obtaining products of agricultural and aquaculture interest, as well as the training of scientists, technologists and professionals in this field, and the transfer of knowledge to the productive sector. The general objective of the project is to apply the current knowledge available in the requesting groups to the development of sustainable wastewater treatment processes and improvement of food production using microalgae.
Objectives:
The general objective is achieved through the following specific objectives:
- Knowledge transfer in wastewater treatment processes using microalgae.
- Development of joint pilot experiences to validate existing prior knowledge.
- Enhancement of the biomass generated for its application in various fields, related to both agriculture and aquaculture.
- Dissemination of knowledge in the scientific field, especially the incorporation of women into it.
- Transfer to the productive sector and preparation of new development proposals.
