The Consortium
MASLOWATEN consortium is led by the UPM (The Technical University of Madrid) and is composed of 13 members from different fields – irrigation communities, research, business, universities, etc.- from five European countries: Spain, Italy, Holland, Austria and Portugal.
AIMCRA activity is focused on responding the sector demands, through testing and in-field demonstrations, as well as the transfer of the results to the farmers and companies.
Our main objective is to guaranty the profitability and competitiveness of the Spanish sugar-beetroot sector, in addition to ensuring compliance with the
commitments of environmental sustainability and food security that society demands.

The CAPRARI GROUP can deal with all the customer’s needs and provides the most efficient solutions for the main water and wastewater requirements: borehole pumps, vertical turbine pumps, surface pumps, drainage pumps and electric pumps and aeration system for sewage.
Inside CAPRARI GROUP, and like a subsidiary, BOMBAS CAPRARI, S.A. has developed a PV solar pumping for standard AC motors.
DOMUS has an experienced staff in the development of international projects in Europe and North Africa. Provides consulting and engineering services to institutional clients (Diputación de Alicante, City of Petrer and Muro de Alcoy), large industrial companies (footwear, plastics, irrigation agriculture, etc), collaborating with local research institutes (INESCOP Elda), Spanish universities (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche) and European Platforms
(EIP-Water).
The EIC is a member of the “Strategic Coordination Group (SCG)” for the Common Implementation Strategy of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). Similarly, the EIC has relationships and actively collaborate with the Mediterranean Water Institute (IME), the Mediterranean Network of Basin Organizations (MENBO), the Global Water Partnership-Mediterranean (GWP-Med), the European Union Water Management Association (EUWMA) among others.
The entire production process is conducted with the highest standards of quality and control from the field which produces olives, to the mills, where it produces oil, ensuring full traceability of production. The production is made in the four mills belonging to ELAIA that turn 100% of the harvest.
The new strategy Sovena Group, an extension of its activity to the production of olive oil in bulk, aims, among other objectives, to integrate all segments of the olive sector, from production to marketing of the olive of the final product, enhancing its market position and enhancing strong existing industrial and commercial structure.
The product line offered include high-performance Big Volume Guns and Pivot Sprinkler products for mechanized Irrigation systems. The technology integrated into our innovative products is covered by several International patents.

MARTIFER SOLAR has built a global reputation by deploying outstanding price-performance ratio solar plants, transforming solar energy into green assets by maximizing value and mitigating risks. Their recognized capabilities across the entire value chain enable us to manage all phases from market and site identification to the grid connection and subsequent plant operation.
Established in 1933 and headed by President Yoshihito Yamada, Omron has more than 37,000 employees in 36 countries working to provide products and services to customers in a variety of fields, including industrial automation and electronic components industries. The company has head offices in Europe (Amsterdam).
The European organization has its own development and manufacturing facilities and provides local customer support in all European countries.
Progrés offers 31 years of experience, quality and service in the automation of agricultural fertigation. Since June 2003, Progrés has ISO 9001 certification.
RKD IRRIGACIÓN is registered under norm ISO 9001-2000 from the year 2003 by BVQI and UKAS.
The experience gained over the last few decades has enabled RKD to design a machine that is the most robust, most efficient and easiest to use of those on the market. As a result of our constant desire to innovate RKD has earned a place among at the leading European irrigation systems manufacturers.
Solar electricity includes photovoltaic, both conventional and with concentrators (HCPV), as well as solar thermal electricity. The Chair is already in charge of an outdoors PV testing infrastructure for where all types of PV systems (stationary or with tracking, and with or without concentration). The Chair is now setting up two more platforms for testing solar concentrators: (i) one for intermediate temperatures (100 to 250ºC) destined to test solar concentrators typically designed for thermal applications like industrial process heat, cooling, desalination and (ii) another for temperatures suitable to for solar electricity production (up to 500ºC).
The Department has important research facilities, among which several laboratories and three experimental farms. The researchers of USASSARI have coordinated several national and international research and technical cooperation projects, developing great experience in sustainable agricultural management.
MASLOWATEN’s Coordinator.
The Instituto de Energía Solar is a research center within UPM. It is an institution linked to R&D activity since the 1970s. It was founded by prof. Antonio Luque, one of the most recognized figures in photovoltaic science in the world. It has participated in the development of solar cells since 1974 and currently keeps a staff of more than 50 people, all of them related to research into photovoltaics.
The researchers implicated in the MASLOWATEN project belong to the research group on photovoltaic systems, which was founded in 1985.
