R&D&I Strategy 2017-2020
This document covers different areas of Canal's activity: from the services we provide and the relationships we establish with our environment, emphasising innovation in the company, society and the market by improving processes, and with the efficient provision of our services and a position at the fore of the sector.
Initially, the strategy is defined from 2017 to 2020; during this period, the strategy will serve as the guide which defines our company's path towards growth and innovative progress.


Reclaimed

INDUSTRIAL USE OF RECLAIMED WATER
As a result of collaboration between Canal de Isabel II, the paper company Holmen Paper Madrid and the Cellulose and Paper Research Group at the Universidad Complutense in Madrid, the first paper plant in the world to use reclaimed waste waters in most of the production processes was set up in 2011. To guarantee that quality requirements are met, we installed a double membrane (ultrafiltration and inverse osmosis) treatment system followed by a disinfection process at the Culebro Medio Waste Water Treatment Plant. This allows for 100% of the plant's supply water to be replaced, obtaining savings in drinking water of more than 4 cubic hectometres per year, equivalent to the annual consumption of a population of 80,000 inhabitants.

MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY IN NEW WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Work on the construction of the Arroyo Valenoso Waste Water Treatment Plant (EDAR) in the town of Boadilla del Monte began in 2012, with a budget of 9.2 million Euros and a treatment capacity of up to 12,000 cubic metres per day of waste water, equivalent to the pollution load of a population of 40,000 inhabitants. This highly advanced treatment system, which eliminates nitrogen and phosphorus, is based on ultrafiltration membrane technology. At present there are only 15 waste treatment plants of this type in Spain.

PLAN INNOVA 100

PLAN INNOVA 100
100 viable research or innovation projects by 2022
The challenge in innovation lies in making it viable, efficient and useful to society as a whole. We want to position our company as a centre of excellence in innovation, research and development in our sector. To this end, we will develop 100 innovation projects with viable and efficient outcomes during the 2018-2022 period.

CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES IN WATER MANAGEMEN

CENTRE FOR ADVANCED STUDIES IN WATER MANAGEMENT
Dual vocational training and Master’s Degree in Water Management
There is a shortage of skilled professionals in water management, whether holders of intermediate and higher-level diplomas or university postgraduates (engineers, scientists, lawyers and economists). The Centre for Advanced Studies in Water Management is intended to offer specialist training for those who will in the future become the best water management professionals in Spain and abroad. This will put Canal at the forefront of training for water experts in our country and consolidate Madrid’s position as a centre of excellence for training.

Valmayor

Construction of the mini hydroelectric plant in valmayor
The aim of the project is to enable the flowing water from the Valmayor reservoir to be used to produce electricity through the execution of a mini hydroelectric plant next to the channel that carries the water from the reservoir to the Valmayor drinking water treatment plant.
This would enable 3 m3/s from the Valmayor reservoir to flow through a turbine and the building to be prepared for the future installation of two more turbines to enable 12 m3/s to be reached.
Total investment: 6.575.978,46 €
Expected ERDF Funds: 3.287.989,23 €
- Consult the contract of the technical assistance.
- Consult the information related to the construction contract.



Alcalá Oeste

Cogeneration installation in the Alcalá Oeste Wastewater Treatment Plant
The aim of installing a cogeneration system is to use the biogas produced in the wastewater treatment plant to generate, on the one hand, the heat required for the anaerobic digestion of wastewater sludge and, on the other, electricity for the plant’s own consumption.
Total investment: 1.775.430,72 €
Expected ERDF Funds: 887.715,36 €
- Check the contract of the technical assistance EDAR de Alcalá Oeste.
- Consult the construction contract.
- More details.



Plaza Castilla

Implementation of hydraulic turbogenerator in the Plaza Castilla tank
The aim of the project is to use the pressure diferential at the entrance to the tank to install a 60kW microturbine to generate electric energy for self consumption. This clean energy helps to mitigate the negative effects produced by conventinal methods.
Total investment: 297.465,39 €
Expected ERDF Funds: 148.732,70 €
