R+D+i
R+D+i
INDEREN is an organization dedicated to the promotion and installation of renewable energies. Especially sensitive to the environment, it offers a competitive energy model that provides economic profitability and social values to its customers, both domestic and industrial, as well as to investors.
INDEREN has obtained the Innovative SME Seal, granted by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of the Government of Spain, as a result of its Research, Development and Innovation (R&D&I) activities in recent years.
The activity of the company is carried out in accordance with the R+D+i Management System implemented and the documents derived from it.
The R+D+i policy from INDEREN is aimed at promoting and enhancing R+D+i activities as a differential factor of competitiveness in the sectors in which the company carries out its activity.
This policy establishes guidelines for the selection and development of R+D+i activities and their efficient management. As a result of this R+D+i policy, emerge the R+D+i commitments and objectives described below:
R+D+i Projects
Among the prestigious projects in which we have participated are:
Life Ammonia Trapping
The objective of the Life Ammonia Trapping project (LIFE15 ENV/ES/000284) is to reduce ammonia emissions to the atmosphere generated by livestock waste produced on pig and poultry farms, and to recover said ammonia in the form of a salt of ammonium which is a high value fertilizer.
Within this scenario of the project, INDEREN will manufacture 2 prototypes:
- A prototype captures the ammonia in the atmosphere once it has been volatilized.
- A second prototype captures the liquid waste ammonia (slurry and digestate), where ammonium (NH4 +) is found. With this prototype it is possible to capture the ammonium in the liquid before it turns into ammonia and volatilizes.
Life-ANADRY
The Life-ANADRY project (LIFE14 ENV/ES/000524) aims to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the correct environmental management of sludge in medium to small sized wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
INDEREN has made the design, manufacture and installation of the pre-industrial prototype:
- A 20 m3 cylindrical reactor with capacity to treat up to 3 tons/day of sewage sludge was manufactured.
- The system works like a dry anaerobic digestion or high concentration of solids.
- During the project, two different temperature conditions (mesophilic and thermophilic) will be studied and the performance in terms of stabilization, sanitation and biogas production will be determined.
- For the correct operation of the process INDEREN has synchronized pumping equipment, boiler start, weighing instruments, temperature and pressure, pH sensors and distribution and stirring systems, under the process control guidelines, through PLC screen prototype.
Valuewaste H2020
The ValueWaste project proposes an integrated approach in urban biowaste upcycling for the production of high-value bio-based products, developing the first complete solution to fully valorise biowaste that can be replicated across Europe.
Our role within the project will be installation, testing and operating of the anaerobic digester for the treatment of urban biowaste in the waste separation plant of “Cañada Hermosa”, Murcia (WP4).
Our compromise
Increase satisfaction of the parties involved (needs and expectations of customers, suppliers, collaborators and employees) through the effective implementation of the R+D+i Management System.
Provide the necessary resources to continuously maintain and improve the effectiveness of the R+D+i Management System.
To motivate staff by providing a scenario in which they can show and apply the experience acquired throughout their career, both by participating in R+D+i projects, as well as by learning and improving their technical knowledge.
Improve relations with suppliers (communication) in order to gradually reduce incidents in deliveries and nonconformities related to these suppliers, generally improving the level of suppliers.
Promote awareness of the importance of R+D+i by motivating and encouraging all staff in the participation in R+D+i activities through teamwork.
To take advantage of and promote the human capital of the company, since we are aware that the best asset of the company are the people.
Continuously improve the R+D+i Management System and its processes.
Allocate part of the company’s resources to the development and research of new products, in order to diversify our activity.

The R+D+i policy of INDEREN is established on the basis of the role of the Company, that is no other than Management of R+D+i activities in mechanical and electrical devices for distribution and power generation systems.
To this end, the management of INDEREN will establish R+D+i objectives on a regular basis, and it will be responsible for allocating the necessary resources to comply with them; as well as launching the monitoring and control activities of these R+D+i processes.
