Life 08/ENV/CY/000457
Programme Duration 01/01/2010 - 30/09/2012
INTER-WASTE is a Life + Environment Policy and Governance Project co-funded by the European Community. The duration of the project is 33months starting on the 1st of January 2010. The implementation of the project will take place at Limassol, Cyprus under the coordination of Cyprus University of Technology and with the cooperation of University of Nicosia, National University of Athens, Proplan Ltd. and the Environment Service of the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources & Environment of Cyprus.
INTER-WASTE focuses on the construction and demonstration of an innovative pilot system consisting of a Membrane Bioreactor System for wastewater treatment and an Anaerobic Treatment Unit. The anaerobic digester will receive a variety of organic waste including sludge generated from the Membrane Bioreactor System system as well as other biowaste. The biogas product is expected to be used in gas turbines in order to be converted to electricity, thus providing an efficient and renewable energy source.
