Tackling international airline catering waste by demonstrating integral and safe recollection, separation & treatment (LIFE Zero Cabin Waste)
Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
Background
At global level, air passengers generate 0.82 kg to 2.5 kg of waste, depending on distance and flight class, with an average of 1.43 kg (IATA, 2014). According to the Airports Council International (ACI), there were about 6.3 billion plane passengers worldwide in 2013, which equates to an annual estimate of 9 billion kg of waste.
To date, mos ...

Energy recovery from landfill's biogas by the use of microturbines and biological removal of hydrogen sulphide and siloxanes (MICROPHILOX)
Start date: Oct 3, 2005, End date: Mar 31, 2009,
Background
Decomposing organic waste in landfill sites generates large quantities of biogas containing methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), greenhouse gases that contribute significantly to the global problem of climate change. However, due to its methane contents, biogas is also a potential source of renewable energy, and can be used for generating po ...

CLOSING THE NITROGEN CYCLE FROM URBAN LANDFILL LEACHATE BY BIOLOGICAL NITROGEN REMOVAL OVER NITRITE AND THERMAL TREATMENT (CLONIC)
Start date: Aug 1, 2003, End date: May 31, 2007,
...uous connection of the combined processes has not been fully achieved at full scale. For this reason, and in view of the very successful results obtained in the CLONIC project, the beneficiary, CESPA, and partner, LEQUIA-UdG, will continue the study of the PANI-SBR-ANAMMOX process with the aim of exploring the technology at industrial scale. In this second CLONIC project stage, it is foreseen to s ...

Automatic system for selective recovery of waste (AUTOREWASTE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2002, End date: Sep 1, 2004,
Background
The recycling of plastics is complicated by the high costs involved in sorting it. Waste selection usually has to be carried out manually in sorting plants and this makes it a more expensive option than incineration and does not permit the classification according to chemical composition. Mechanical recycling can only be carried out efficiently ...
