Espaitec, the Science and Technology Park of the Universitat Jaume I, and the Multiphase Fluids Group have implemented a demonstrator that allows the optimisation of the operation of water treatment plants through full-scale tests carried out at the facilities of the Research Centre in Robotics and Underwater Technology (CIRTESU). The project has been funded by the Regional Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism through the UJILAB Impuls programme.

This technology is used to simulate processes that take place in a water treatment plant and is aimed both at technology companies that develop impellers and instrumentation for their characterisation, and at companies that manage water treatment plants and other sectors such as the chemical or maritime industry.

The demonstrator has a test bench to evaluate the performance of the agitators and advanced tools to measure the behaviour of moving water. It incorporates sensors that measure water velocity and turbulence, high-speed cameras and vibration measurement systems that analyse how the currents generated by the agitators are distributed.

Using this system, companies can measure the turbulence and the distribution of speeds generated by the impellers, optimise the design and the mixing effects and ensure compliance with water quality regulations. In addition, the demonstrator's 550 m³ tank allows for safe testing without interrupting the operations of real plants.

**CIRTESU**

CIRTESU was created with the aim of promoting research, development and innovation in the Valencian Community, fostering synergies between three interrelated areas: underwater robotics, aquaculture and the integral water cycle. The centre is therefore home to the UJI's Multiphase Fluids Group, the IRS LAB - Interactive and Robotic Systems group, the UJI's Ecological Research and Development Group and the Torre la Sal Aquaculture Institute (IATS-CSIC).

**UJILAB Impuls**

Through the UJILAB Impuls programme, the University promotes the transfer of technologies developed in the university environment to the business and social fabric. This is achieved through the implementation of demonstrators, which allow the validation and demonstration of the functioning of innovative technologies in real environments, and through proof-of-concept projects, aimed at verifying the technical and commercial viability of these solutions.
