Factsheet describing the main characteristics of the Run4Life demonstration site in Vigo, Spain. Resource recovery at an office building complex “Centro de Negocios Porto do Molle” is a business centre promoted by the Consorcio Zona Franca de Vigo (Free Trade Zone of Vigo) in Nigrán (Pontevedra, Spain). The building, awarded with the BREEAM certificate (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology), is a referent in sustainable architecture. The office building hosts around 40 small and medium enterprises, acting as a business centre and business incubator. The building is equipped with segregated grey and black water collection in all bathrooms, which on average are used by around 200 people during working hours. The demonstration site, installed in the basement of the building, is managed under the leadership of Aqualia with the support of the University of Santiago de Compostela. All of the produced grey water in the building is treated and reused after disinfection for toilet flushing, reducing the water footprint of the building. Within the Run4Life project, black water is treated in an Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactor (AnMBR) using the MEMB-RANER (Membrane Reactor for Anaerobic Nutrient and Energy Recovery) reactor, and, after disinfection treatments, it can directly be used for fertigation. Alternatively, this liquid fraction can be further treated to recover phosphorous, by precipitation of struvite, and/or nitrogen, by adsorption processes.
