Full scale demonstration of energy positive sewage treatment plant concepts towards market penetration (POWERSTEP)
Start date: Jul 1, 2015, End date: Jun 30, 2018,
The municipal wastewater in Europe contains a potential chemical energy of 87,500 GWh per year in its organic fraction, which is equivalent to the output of 12 large power stations. Due to the currently applied technologies and related energy loss at each process step, wastewater treatment in Europe today consumes instead the equivalent of more than 2 power stations. Many operators are thus target ...

Demonstration of innovative solutions for Reuse of water, Recovery of valuables and Resource efficiency in urban wastewater treatment (R3Water)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,
Reuse of water, Recovery of valuables and Resource efficiency in urban wastewater treatmentThe main objective of the project is to demonstrate solutions that support the transition from a treatment plant for urban wastewater to a production unit of different valuables.So far waste water treatment plants are usually regarded as facilities to avoid emissions from wastewater. Current research and dev ...

Cobalt and lanthanide recovery from batteries (COLABATS)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
"The COLABATS project will provide new industrial processes for the recycling of the critical metals Cobalt and Lanthanides and key economic metals Nickel and Lithium, from waste batteries, significantly improving recycling efficiencies and metal purity from existing recovery routes. Primarily Li-ion and NiMH will be targeted using novel task specific ionic liquids (TSILs) to selectively extract t ...

Development of novel system for continuous remote monitoring of weight, growth, and size distribution of fish in aquaculture enclosures (FishScan)
Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2013,
Today there is ±5% error in estimation of biomass in fish farming. This represents € 91M in loss for the European fish farming industry. Around 80 % of all sales of farmed fish are arranged pre-harvest. To make profit on the sale, farmers and processors are dependent on correct estimations of weight, size distribution and total biomass. Furthermore, fish feed constitutes 50% of the production co ...

European Animal Welfare Platform:adding welfare quality to food (EAWP)
Start date: May 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,
"Animal production has become increasingly industrialised over the last five decades. Recent crises such as BSE, swine fever, foot and mouth disease and avian influenza, and the activities of consumer and animal welfare organisations have raised public awareness that animal production is more than just an industry and that many other issues have to be considered. In this project, we focus on the f ...

Development of automated technology for large scale land based production of lobster juveniles and lobster to market size, including development of robotic feeding and imaging control system (LobsterPlant)
Start date: Sep 15, 2008, End date: Sep 14, 2011,
Strategic Objectives Addressed: The proposed project is focused on making large scale land based farming of European and American lobster feasible, both financially and practically, by developing automated technology for feeding and monitoring of each lobster individually. European and American lobster are cannibalistic in nature, and are therefore kept in individual housing cells demanding indiv ...
