R&D Projects.
During 2014 Aqualia has worked with 22 national and 7 Department of Innovation and Technology, which currently has
international centres for the development of 17 projects with 34 people.
8 patents pending that require the dedication and commitment
of highly specialized personnel. 6 of these projects have been Aqualia is working on the following R&D projects:
completed, while the rest will be under study during 2015.
Moreover, 6 new additions have strengthened the team of the
