Superheated Steam-based process for low energy and high quality drying of food and food residues (STEAMDRY)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The EU market for processed foods is changing: there is now an increasing demand by consumers for foods that have undergone fewer changes during processing, foods that resemble more to the original raw materials with high nutritive values, flavour and a “natural” image.These pressures are especially significant for a SME dominated sector, the dried foods: although it represents more than €8 billio ...

Efficient Aluminium Salt cake Recycling Technology (ALUSALT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

"Salt cake is a by product in the aluminium recycling process using a rotary furnace. Salt cake is a mixture of aluminum oxides and aluminum nitrides, metal and salts (mainly NaCl and KCl, with small amounts of MgCl2 and CaCl2).The salt cake is a growing environmental problem. It is proving very difficult to dispose in the Europe and is regarded as hazardous waste. The reason is that when saltcak ...

An Innovative, environmentally friendly CO2/Lubricant Absorption Power System for Highly efficient Power Generation from Low Temperature industrial waste heat to reduce emissions and costs (ICARUS)

Start date: Aug 1, 2012, End date: Jul 31, 2014,

The EU manufacturing sector is vitally important to the EU economy, contributing ~17.1% of GDP and accounted for some 22 million jobs (2007) . EU exports have expanded by 4.7% p.a. over 2000-2008 and in some sectors the EU has increased its share of world exports between 1996 and 2006, notably in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and motor vehicles. SMEs represent 99% of the EU manufacturing sector equa ...

Integrated and Cost-Effective Solution to reduce the volume of Pig Slurry, minimize Pollutant Emissions and Process Energy Consumption (EfficientHeat)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

The increase of EU pig production and the intensification of its practice resulted of an increase of pigwaste production. In 2008, more than 930 million m3 of pig slurry was produced in the EU. Pigs areraised indoor and the manure collected is mostly slurry. Pig farmers need to treat a great volume ofresidue with high viscosity and variable physico-chemical composition. The leaks and air emissions ...

A novel modular solar air source heat pump system (SOLARIS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2011,

"There are 195 million households in Europe whose combined domestic heating needs account for 26% of Europe’s energy demand and 500 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. Reducing this will be important if Europe is to achieve ambitious emission reduction targets, reduce its excessive reliance on imported energy and the decrease costs to households and industry. The most effective way to decent ...
