OBJECTIVE
Circular Integrated Desalination
LIFE INDESAL tackles the challenge of supplying safe freshwater from alternative resources, contributing to fight climate change and to the shift to the circular economy.
The project aims to develop and demonstrate a novel integrated and circular seawater desalination system with a low carbon footprint that produces multi-purpose desalinated water, renewable energy, and resources simultaneously.
TIMELINE
The project, initiated in August 2022, is set to present its final results in January 2026

ROLE OF APRIA
EDBM and RED unit process
The INDESAL process consists of the design, construction, integration, and commissioning of three process units:
- LMS RO: Low Pressure Multistage Systems Reverse Osmosis
- EDBM: ElectroDialysis with Bipolar Membranes
- RED: Reverse ElectroDialysis
Apria's role in this project is the design, construction, integration, and validation of the RED and EDBM process units.
CONSORTIUM
LIFE INDESAL is implemented by a consortium of five partners
Acciona Agua, S.A, Apria Systems, Universidad de Cantabria, REDStack BV, and Revolve
LIFE INDESAL is co-funded by the LIFE programme of the European Union.
