Demonstration of a combined heat and power 2 MWe PEM fuel cell generator and integration into an existing chlorine production plant (DEMCOPEM-2MW)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

"The project DEMCOPEM-2MW is to design, construct and demonstrate an economical combined heat and power PEM fuel cell power plant (2 MW electrical power and 1.5 MW heat) and integration into a chlor-alkali (CA) production plant. A chlor-alkali production plant produces chlorine and caustic soda (lye) and high purity hydrogen. The hydrogen contains almost 45% of the energy that is consumed in the ...

Migration Of Molecules In Coatings (MOMIC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Aug 31, 2018,

Because of high damage caused by corrosion, polymer protective coatings are materials of great importance. There is growing interest to search for high-performance coatings with less toxic anticorrosive additives (pigments) than commonly used chromates. The main obstacle in design of novel systems is the lack of understanding of fundamental transport phenomena of pigments in the coatings. The proj ...

Development and verification of an innovative full life sustainable approach to the valorisation of municipal solid waste into industrial feedstocks (WASTE2GO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Management and segregation of municipal solid waste (MSW) has been increasingly imposed on individuals, with highly variable impacts. Waste2Go will valorise this heterogeneous material that has significant socio-economic costs. It will involve the innovative transformation of over 55% of MSW, the biogenic fraction, into renewable chemicals, advancing beyond current approaches to bio-refining whic ...

Catalytic membrane Reactors based on New mAterials for C1-C4 valorization (CARENA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

"The objective of the CARENA project is to accelerate the introduction of membrane reactors into the European chemical industry by the development of novel material and processes for the conversions of alkanes and CO2 into valuable chemicals. In a future environment with higher cost of crude oil and of CO2, the European chemical industry can only remain competitive by radical innovation. Process i ...

Polygeneration through pyrolysis: Simultaneous production of fuel oil, process steam, electricity and organic acids (EMPYRO)

Start date: Dec 1, 2009, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

A 25MWth poly-generation demo plant will be build at the site of AkzoNobel in Hengelo (NL). It will produce fuel oil, process steam, electricity and organic acids through pyrolysis of wood. These products will be used on-site. An overall energy efficiency of 78% will be achieved. AkzoNobel will replace natural gas used for both energy generation and chemicals production. Pyrolysis involves rapid h ...

Innovative Switchable Shading Appliances based on Nanomaterials and Hybrid Electrochromic Device Configurations (INNOSHADE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

INNOSHADE is concerned with an innovative, nanocomposite-based switchable light transmittance technology developed previously for small sized objects (eyewear). It constitutes a breakthrough in smart shading technology by overcoming common limitations of state-of-the-art electrochromic devices. INNOSHADE enables the low cost production of electrochromic shading appliances with lower energy consump ...
