Nano- Electrospun Filter for Efficient Liberation & Encapsulation of acticides for water treatment in transportation applications (NEFELE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"In recent years, word of aircraft water quality issues has spread, generating negative media coverage, attracting the attention of regulators worldwide, and giving airline passengers a new cause for concern. Health enforcement agencies are currently in the process of drafting new, more stringent quality regulations for aircraft potable water and the world's other regulators will follow suit.Aircr ...

High Efficiency In Situ Treatment Technology for Contaminated Groundwater (HEISTT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

"The proposed HEISTT solution is the rapid installation of groundwater treatment chemicals as an insitu subsurface remediation technique, brought about by the use of ultrasonic assisted injection technology to create a closely spaced grid of single treatment small diameter wells to a depth of 20m. As part of the boreholing process, remediation chemicals will be introduced in to the ground containe ...

Development of a Retro-Fitted Recycling Unit and Inter-Related Web-Based Logistical Software to Reduce Transport Costs and Improve Competitiveness of Organisations in the Recycling Supply Chain (START)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,

The agricultural sector within the EU generates some 274,000tonnes of plastics waste p.a. of which ~88,000tonnes are agricultural plastics film waste. This equates to 250,000tonnes p.a. with ‘soilage’ (soil/grass/stones/etc). Agricultural plastic film waste has proven difficult to recycle commercially due to the high levels of contamination and its wide geographical dispersion which lead to high t ...

The development of a graduated radar-absorbing multi-layer structure for wind turbine applications to enable their positioning in areas of optimal power generation (OSGRAM)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

"The EU is committed to generating 20% of it energy from renewable sources by 2020, and 50% by 2050. Wind energy is the cheapest and technologically most straightforward way to generate the majority of this energy. As a result for this the amount of wind energy installed in the EU is predicted to increase from its current level of 56,000 MW to 300,000 MW by 2030, equating to the installation of ov ...

The Development of a Single-Screw Extrusion Process for Production of Low Density Biodegradable PLA Foam for Thermoformed Food Packaging Applications (PLA-FOAM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

"450 k t p.a. of foamed polymer packaging (mainly expanded polystyrene, EPS) is consumed in the EU with 34% (150 k t p.a.) used for food packaging. Foam packaging is an essential part of the food processing and transport process to prevent damage and spoilage. However, they are made from synthetic polymers and have low density (50 kg/m3) which makes them difficult to recycle economically. Thus, th ...

Development of an Integrated System for Cost Effective Temperature Control in Aquaculture Tanks (OptiTEMPtank)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

The proposed project is focused on supporting the 6,000 SMEs that work in the European aquaculture sector and over 50,000 SMEs in our supply chain including; plant installation, tank manufacturers, filtration engineers and temperature control engineers. European aquaculture production has increased substantially over the last decades. However, overall production growth in Europe over the period 19 ...
