IN THE AREAS OF
WASTEWATER TREATMENT
We develop and adapt new technologies that allow the treatment of local and industrial wastewater by advanced techniques such as:
- Advanced oxidation processes
- Electrochemical processes
- Coagulation-Flocculation
- Filtering
- Adsorption and biological processes
Wastewater treatment pilot plant, allows us to evaluate and scale processes designed in the laboratory to the industrial level.
WATER POTABILIZATION
We develop technologies and materials based in filtration processes, adsorption and electrochemistry for remove pollutants.
WATER QUALITY MONITORING
We have advanced infrastructure for the analysis of more than 110 pollutants in water including several anions, cations, aminoacids, dyes, pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, etc.
We can determine basic water parameters including color, smell, taste, turbidity, COD, BOD, pH, conductivity, sulfides, fatty acids, oils, total organic carbon and can perform biological analysis.
REVALORIZATON, TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL OF INDUSTRIAL RESIDUES.
We formulate novel materials, with commercial potential that reduce the environmental impact caused by the industrial waste.
SOIL EVALUATION AND TREATMENT.
We offer soil remediation projects in small, medium and large periods of time in/on polluted places.
OLFATOMETRY, BIOAEROSOLS AND ENVIRONMENTAL AIR QUALITY
OLFATOMETRY
- Our Olfatometry lab is established in accordance with the UNE-EN 13725 Standard.
- CIATEC can determine odor concentrations (ue/m3).
- Odor measurements for farms, including those that raise poultry and swine.
BIOAEROSOLS
- Measurement and quantification of pathogen micro-organisms in air.
STUDIES OF THE AIR QUALITY
- Measurement of air particulate dispersion (PM10).
- Determination of pollutants dispersion affected zones.

Dr. Domancar Orona Tamayo
CURRICULAR RESUME
PhD. Plant biology and biotechnology, specializing in multitrophic interactions and value-added by-products derived from agriculture wastes. His research lines are focused on the study of stresses in agricultural plants and urban trees mediated by different biotic and abiotic disturbances. Also interested in the use of bioactive compounds derived from agricultural residues of plants for applications in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Thus, as application of molecular techniques with agricultural and environmental impacts. He is also interested in the analysis of pests and pollutants in urban trees.

Dra. Oriana Landa Cansigno
CURRICULAR RESUME
Doctor in environmental engineering with a specialty in integrated water management. Her research interests focus on environmental diagnosis using systemic analysis, such as urban metabolism, life cycle analysis, sustainability indicators, emissions quantifications and pollution evaluation, as well as participatory methodologies for effective stakeholder engagements (questionnaires, interviews and workshops). She also prepares outreach programmes for rural communities’ organisations, students and general public in topics of water security.
Dr. David Alfonso Camarena Pozos
CURRICULAR RESUME
