The company presented the progress of ECOALJIBE at the final event of the European CESAM project, reinforcing its commitment to applied innovation, the circular economy and sustainable water management.
Innovation only creates value when it is transformed into solutions that address real-world challenges. This is the driving force behind ECOALJIBE, an innovation project developed by NexBiolinea to optimise the cleaning and disinfection of potable water storage tanks through circular economy principles, improved water efficiency and the highest sanitary standards.
The latest project results were presented by Catalina Bibiloni, Head of Sustainability at NexBiolinea, during the final event of the European CESAM project, held in Toulouse. The event brought together companies, technology centres, research organisations and public institutions committed to innovation and sustainability across Europe.
Applied innovation with real impact
ECOALJIBE was created with a clear objective: to develop an innovative methodology capable of significantly reducing the amount of water required for cleaning and disinfecting potable water storage tanks while maintaining full compliance with health regulations and ensuring maximum sanitary safety.
The project has enabled NexBiolinea to design, optimise and validate a new technical protocol that improves resource efficiency, reduces environmental impact and demonstrates how circular economy principles can be successfully integrated into water management practices.
From research to real-world implementation
One of ECOALJIBE’s greatest strengths is that the innovation has been validated under real operating conditions.
Throughout the project, NexBiolinea implemented the methodology in hotels, tourist apartments, residential facilities and other collective-use buildings, carrying out microbiological analyses, technical monitoring and operational evaluations to demonstrate both its effectiveness and practical feasibility.
As a result, the project successfully advanced the solution from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 to TRL 7, confirming its applicability in real operational environments.
Innovation that shapes the future
NexBiolinea’s participation in European initiatives such as CESAM reflects the company’s long-term commitment to applied research, technological innovation and knowledge transfer.
Alongside its activities as an accredited laboratory and a specialist consultancy in environmental health, water management and sustainability, NexBiolinea develops research and innovation projects that generate practical solutions for organisations seeking to improve water quality, resource efficiency and environmental performance.
By presenting ECOALJIBE at the CESAM final event, NexBiolinea further strengthens its position as a company capable of transforming scientific knowledge into innovative technologies with tangible benefits for people, organisations and the environment.
