On 5 November 2026, MEloDIZER partner INOTEX organised a seminar dedicated to the project’s textile use case, held within TEXCHEM-RegioTEX, the 58th Czech national conference with international participation. The conference took place in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic, under the theme “New textile materials for new multidisciplinary applications”, and was organised by the Society of Textile Chemists and Colourists Pardubice (STCHK) and the Centre for Investment, Development and Innovation (CIRI).
The seminar featured two MEloDIZER presentations. Alberto Tiraferri, Project Coordinator at Politecnico di Torino, presented “Membrane distillation for textile wastewater management: opportunities, challenges, and outcomes of MEloDIZER EU project”. Ivan Vaz Loures of AMAPEX Environement followed with “Coated Membranes applied to Wastewater in Textiles Industries”.
Textile effluents are one of the industrial streams targeted by MEloDIZER, whose hollow-fibre demonstrator (Demo #1) is tested on textile and beverage industry wastewater with the aim of producing water suitable for reuse. The seminar gave the project a direct line to textile chemists, technology providers and regional stakeholders, the audience best placed to put water reuse into practice in one of the most water-intensive industries.
