Over the next 10 years, Eni estimates spending €700 million to improve the performance of current water
treatment technologies, in terms of efficiency and costs. Eni has developed a research program that aims
to: reduce the energy consumption required, reduce waste volumes, reduce the consumption of soil and
increase water recycling. The proprietary device for aquifer reclamation was improved in 2016 and two
innovative materials for absorbing hydrocarbon spills were tested.
The application protocol for Eni’s passive biomimetic samples was made the official method of analysis
by the CNR’s Istituto di Ricerca sulle Acque (IRSA).
