PROJECTS FOR REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS

Progress and the steady increase in population and in related services make it necessary to research and make better use of water and energy resources. We who work at Vigorfluss, either in the search for technological solutions or in the application of our preventive and reparative projects regarding water and energy use, believe that the nearly always deficient “business” of public services should not be limited to the use of water and energy, but should include the conservation of the water and energy resources they have available. This is a big responsibility, since there should be a change of attitude towards the search for a new climate of energy cooperation and water management.


1) Cutting edge technology at the service of Regional Governments, Institutions and Public Bodies

Progress and the steady increase in population and in related services make it necessary to research and make better use of water and energy resources. We who work at Vigorfluss, either in the search for technological solutions or in the application of our preventive and reparative projects regarding water and energy use, believe that the nearly always deficient “business” of public services should not be limited to the use of water and energy, but should include the conservation of the water and energy resources they have available. This is a big responsibility, since there should be a change of attitude towards the search for a new climate of energy cooperation and water management.

None of this is utopian or gratuitous; it is worthwhile thinking, working and benefitting in this respect. A point of consensus is to admit that water management is above all a common problem and, therefore, a common business and also complementary, since it requires a division of tasks between the Public Institutions and Bodies and the various “auxiliary” industries, such as Vigorfluss, which offer genuine solutions to lessen the impact of this public service on the relevant facilities.

2) European water and energy policy

The European Union is developing its policy regarding water and energy sustainability, and is doing so through its Directives and Regulations, the instruments for funding the research, projects and advertising initiatives which give access to the widespread use of the systems, devices and projects that facilitate the proper use of water and energy.

The Manufacturer, Ecolcap S.R.L. Italia may use funds provided by the EU

  • See LIFE files, “Guide for submitting applications 2011”.
  • See Official Journal of the European Union, “(EC) Regulation Nº 614/2007 of the European Parliament and Council, of 23 May 2007 (9.6.2007)”.

These funds are available to Member States, Regional Governments and Municipal Councils. Therefore, Regional Governments, Municipal Councils and other Public Institutions and Bodies can make their own records, in collaboration with Vigorfluss, in order to obtain said funds.

3) Projects based on water and energy return with no prior payment

The use of Vigorfluss devices can make a noteworthy contribution to these Institutions, in exchange for a lease or supply contract. Said agreement, based on annual water-energy return, would determine the proportional amount to be calculated on the overall volume/value of water saved at the end of the first year in each area in which said devices have been installed. For example: Airports, Hospitals, Schools, Universities, Sports Facilities, etc.

4) Vigorfluss product ranges

  • In the utility plan, we support the community of interests and not the rhetoric which may damage the image of Producers, Distributors and Managers of energy and water.
  • In the production plan, we guarantee the maximum quality and safety of our products, backed by conclusive evidence from internationally recognized laboratories.
  • In the operating plan, we promote several projects especially aimed at Regional Governments, Municipal Councils, Public and Private Enterprises, Industry and Trade.
  • In the commercial plan, we maintain a competitive price level, consistent with our high-end products.
  • In the advertising plan, we only disseminate proven information about the functional effectiveness of our projects, range of products and services.

5) Other advantages offered by Vigorfluss

  • Increased availability/reserves of water to avoid cuts in supply
  • Decreased costs for additives
  • Decreased maintenance costs
  • Decreased recycling costs.

6) Implementation of the system and transition period

Vigorfluss water saving devices can be applied in the facilities chosen by the maintenance service itself. Their return is immediate and progressive from the time of their installation. The first results are usually appreciated after six months, when the use of the system is consolidated and said Public Institutions and Bodies start to notice the benefits.

7) How to apply for EU funds, step by step

  • In each case, we present each Public Institution or Body with a project to cover the needs of specific facilities, in which the details and amount of the operation are defined. See each individual project.
  • Each Public Institution or Body can present the project to the relevant Municipal Council or Regional Government for them to send to the EU, requesting funds to cover 50% of the amount of the operation. See LIFE files, “Guide for submitting applications 2011”. See Official Journal of the European Union, “(EC) Regulation Nº 614/2007 of the European Parliament and Council, of 23 May 2007 (9.6.2007)”.
  • After approval of the project, we deliver the devices to the Public Institution or Body that has contracted us in order for them to implement the system.
  • After six months, the first results are analysed.

It is normally after one year when each Municipal Council or Regional Government receives the Community funds to finance the operations underway. Then we charge each Public Institution or Body the annual fee or the amount of the goods invoiced.
