Public funding for technology to reduce salt load in wastewater
SolarSpring GmbH, K-UTEC AG, K+S Group, LMBV and Fraunhofer IKTS join efforts in the project HaSiMem for the recovery of salt and water from stockpile leachate through a combined membrane distillation-crystallization process. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and SolarSpring will be supported with a total grant amount of € 233,254.The availability of water of a suitable quality is a growing challenge worldwide.
