MUlti SEnsor Technology for management of food processes (MUSE-Tech)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The concept behind MUSE-Tech is the development of three single sensors (Photoacoustic, Quasi Imaging UV-Vis and a Distributed Temperature) which will be integrated in a versatile and affordable Multi Sensor Device (MSD). The MSD will be based on a versatile plug-in architecture for real-time monitoring (on-/in-line) of multiple parameters associated with the quality and the chemical safety of raw ...

Universal Gasification Process Analyser for Bio Mass and Organic Waste Treatment (GasPro-Bio-Waste)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

One of the most promising “green processes” for power and combined heat generation is the production of hydrogen and biogas by gasification of biomass or organic waste. Especially if the tremendous amount of existing organic waste can be used for gasification, these processes become both, ecologically and economically extremely interesting. Gasification processes are performed under elevated or hi ...

A rapid and reliable tool for assessing the malting quality of barley using automated optical analysis (OPTIMALT)

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

"The EU malting barley industry supplies almost 50% of global malting barley requirements. The sustainability of thousands of EU SME farmers depend on the competitiveness of this industry, as is the quality of our brewing and distilling industries. Malting barley demands a premium at the farm gate but, in return, must exceed a range of malting quality (MQ) parameters laid down by the processing in ...

Miniaturised photoacoustic gas sensor based on patented interferometric readout and novel photonic integration technologies (MINIGAS)

Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

High-sensitivity gas sensors measure the presence of trace gases. They have a wide range of applications. Finnish SME Gasera has recently developed a MEMS-based mechanism for detecting the pressure waves created in photo-acoustic cells. This innovation can be used to realize infrared gas sensors of extreme sensitivity. Instead of the usual microphone (membrane with capacitive readout) the Gasera c ...

"An affordable, easy to use tool for monitoring the wine production process, based on FTIR/ATR and an attached PAS gas cell" (VITISPEC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

"The wine industry, which is made up of thousands of SMEs and family business, is an important contributor to the EU economy, providing countless jobs in vine cultivation and harvesting, wine production, bottling and distribution. However, the sector faces severe problems. Consumption is down, and exports from the New World are making huge inroads into the market. Over the last decade, imports hav ...

Monitoring and controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by using novel on-line FTIR/iPAS technology (ZERO-VOC)

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

Strict limits have been set for volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions due to their direct and indirect effects on the environment and the potential risk to human health. Industrial plants using solvents have to limit their emissions to the levels stated in VOC-directive (Directive 99/13/EC) before the end of October 2007, whereby VOC emissions from the solvent using industry should be reduced ...

Process gas analysis for bio and hydrogen gas mixtures using new high pressure in Situ sensors (ProBio-HySens)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

To achieve energy generation from sustainable resources the production of bio mass and the hydrogen economy are now featured worldwide with a tremendous effort. The processes for producing and cleaning of bio and hydrogen gas mixtures will be performed under elevated or high pressures. The design and performing as well as the control of those processes will generate an increasing demand for in Sit ...
