1st ELECTRA technical workshop:
“ELECTRA goes to PILOT demonstrations”

Please mark your calendars: 16-September-2021, 2–4 pm CEST

All stakeholders are invited!

Join the Electra event on 16th September 2021 to learn about the capacity of bioelectrochemical processes to tackle water pollution, such as

  • Nitrate in drinking water resources
  • Pharmaceutical residues in wastewater
  • Chlorinated compounds in groundwater

We take the opportunity to complement the 5th European Meeting of the International Society for Microbial Electrochemistry & Technology taking place in Girona (Spain) 13th -15th September 2021with a practice and application-oriented post event.
