Runners-up Award for DHV's Nereda Technology

11/06/2008

Last week Stavros Dimas, the European Environment Commissioner, announced the winners of the prestigious Business Awards for the Environment (EBAE). Engineering consultancy DHV was presented with a runners-up award in the eco-innovative “Processes” category for its Nereda water technology. The German company, Choren GmbH, won in the category, while another German company, Bayer AG, shared runners-up honors with DHV.

The EBAE awards are granted every two years by the European Commission, and are open only to those European companies that have already been honored in their countries for their eco-innovation – that is for products or services that combine innovation, economic viability and environmental concern). There were 125 international entries this year and, as the EBAE put it, the finalists should consider themselves among the “Best of the Best”.

Nereda is a water treatment technology for industrial and municipal wastewater. This Dutch innovation is the product of a close collaboration between DHV, Delft University of Technology, the research foundation STOWA, five waterboards, and of the support of the Technology Foundation STW and SenterNovem innovation programs. Nereda is already operational in the industrial sector in the Netherlands. Work is currently underway with STOWA and several waterboards to make the technology available in the short term for large-scale sewage treatment.

Choren GmbH won its award for its process for the production of high-purity biofuel from biomass, while Bayer AG was honored for an energy-friendlier process for the preparation of chlorine.

Water Management in Eastern England

The eastern part of England also is partly reclaimed from the sea, centuries ago. The marshlands now are a valuable agricultural area. Of course, maintenance is needed to keep the water where it belongs and at the same time making it work. This video explains the 'how' of it by the Water Management Alliance, showing pumps, dedicated machines and ways of working with water.
