Throughout its history, Hidroambiente has sustained an R&D&I Plan with new activities every year. It has carried out research in programmes such as INTEK and GAITEK with the Basque Government and ERABERRITU with the Regional Government of Bizkaia in several editions and executed independent research by its own.
The fields of activity focus mainly on improving water treatments for especially difficult spills, formates, ammonia at room temperature, ultra-filtration membranes, toxic spills, etc.
It is currently developing a project with the Centre for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) worth € 1 million in water purification using inert techniques.
