IAMAS invests in research, participates in and strengthens the work of its collaborators to further develop and improve the technologies offered, as well as to create new technologies for waste management.
IAMAS Research and Development Program
IAMAS is a partner and significant technology provider on the EU iWAYS project for Near zero water discharge, in combination with the recovery of heat and substances through the development of new Heat Pipe-Based Heat Exchangers and other integrated water-smart strategies in energy and resource-intensive industries.
IAMAS Innovations
IAMAS implement alternative manufacturing methods, such as 3D printing technologies, to accelerate innovation activities.
Our prototyping and production methods are innovative and hence crucial in converting our creative ideas into innovative technology and high-tech functional parts.
Precise control of photocatalytic surface architecture through MSLA photopolymerization 3D printing technology opens the door to new photocatalytic lattice geometries.
The ideal aspect ratio and the high efficiency of IAMAS 3D-printed photocatalytic lattices allow us to manufacture reliable and heavy-duty industrial-scale Photocatalytic Reactors.
Our innovative technologies are suitable for water and air purification systems.
The European Commission's Innovation Radar has analysed innovations developed by IAMAS Technologies Ltd. In this analysis, Innovation Radar also identified IAMAS as a 'Key Innovator' in the development of the following innovations:
• 3D printed direct radiation system equally spreads the UV of visible light to the photocatalytic surface
• 3D printed micro-fluid channel frames for accurate fluids control
• Mask Stereolithography microgeometry 3D printed lattice for enhancing the photocatalytic or another catalytic or adsorbent surface

14th International Conference SEEP
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
12-15 September 2022 - Brunel University London
IAMAS participated in the international conference to communicate across the scientific community about significant technological achievements of water purification technologies.
Our research work results come in this conference on two scientific papers.
During the conference, Dimitrios Iatrou, CEO of IAMAS Technologies Ltd and partner in iWAYS, presents the first scientific paper about the Research on developing a 3D-printed photocatalytic reactor for industrial water treatment. Our research team member George V. Theodorakopoulos presented the second scientific paper about the 3D-printed flat membranes modified by composite SiO2-TiO2 photocatalysts.
Both technologies can help eliminate water pollution in several industrial processes by harnessing UV or visible light.
At this conference, our research team member George V. Theodorakopoulos was AWARDED for his presentation by the SEEP conference committee.
We thank our partners, the Brunel University of London and the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, National Center for Scientific Research "Demokritos" for their help and efforts to complete this work successfully.

iWAYS international project
19 Partners
9 Countries
One Vision
5th December 2020 - Online Conference
19 Partners - 9 Countries - One Vision
In IAMAS, we are proud to be significant partners and technology providers on one of the largest and most important EU projects concerning environmental protection.
We contribute to this project by providing our Photocatalytic Reactor technology.
Today, the iWAYS consortium officially starts the works on the iWAYs international project.
The iWAYS project - Innovative WAter recoverY Solutions through recycling heat, materials and water across multiple sectors - will develop a set of technologies and systems for industrial processes to recover water and heat, and in some cases materials, from exhaust streams. The aim is to reduce resource consumption and increase energy efficiency.
Environmental challenges will also be addressed as industries aim to reduce harmful emissions.
Ambitions
iWAYS will find ways to reduce, recover and reutilize gaseous, liquid and solid waste. Our ambition is to contribute to a future where the industry is sustainable and green. This will require advances in several fields. Each of these innovations will benefit not only European industry but society.
Huge environmental benefit:
60% reduction in final gaseous pollutants and more than 70% mass flow of gaseous emissions currently released by the industry´s chimneys.
Water recovery and recycling from gaseous emissions
Between 30% to 60% less freshwater consumed.
Recovering unrecoverable heat
Between 10% to 80% reduction in waste heat and energy consumption by recovering thermal energy and sensible heat via Heat Pipe Condensing Economiser systems.
Improving water and material efficiency through recovery and reutilization
A new streamlined framework to condensate water from the exhaust and purify the recovered water. Water within streams, which are currently considered impossible or costly, will be retrieved by a new type of Heat Pipe-Based Heat Exchangers and a water treatment system. Up to 90% of discarded water will be recovered from the condensate stream.
30% increase in resource and water efficiency. We will provide an extensive system analysis of the industrial production sites (ceramics, chemicals and steel) to propose operational changes to reduce freshwater usage.
Recovery of material by valorising challenging exhaust streams. The iWAYS systems will allow the removal of elements in the exhaust gases, like Boron, VOCs, and acid gases (HF, SOx, NOx, HCl).
Develop a Decision Support System for rethinking industrial production
A Decision Support System will serve as a basis for full-scale implementation of the selected measures in actual conditions.
The system will be based on the derivation of expert operational rules that allow the different technologies to be integrated into the steel, chemicals and ceramics industries.
Consequently, more data and information will be available about the water and exhaust gases characteristics and detailed measurements of the performance of industrial processes.
Synergetic effects of photocatalysis and nanofiltration
Standard Heat Exchangers face several challenges in industrial applications because of the corrosive and fouling exhaust (particulates or suspensions that could settle onto the surface).
HPHEs can mitigate the fouling caused by solid particles and other contaminants in exhaust gases with the appropriate design, coatings, and/or surface post-treatment. iWAYS will investigate and develop numerical models of fluid dynamics and either coating or surface treatments to optimise HPHEs functioning. The project will exploit two main HPHE applications:
a) recovery of water vapour generated during moisture removal processes and
b) water recovery from combustion.
