Integrated engineering approach validating reduced water and energy consumption in milk processing for wider food supply chain replication (ENREMILK)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

EnReMilk will achieve significant water and energy savings in representative dairy case studies, mozzarella and milk powder production, across the supply chain. The dairy industry is an important food industry sector with sales of €124.3 billion and added value of €17.4 billion p.a. It is a high energy and water consumer, both overall and per unit production: up to 6.47 MWh (5.55 MWhth and 0.92 MW ...

Demonstrating integrated innovative technologies for an optimal and safe closed water cycle in Mediterranean tourist facilities (DEMEAUMED)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Jun 30, 2017,

The aim of demEAUmed project is the involvement of industry representatives, stakeholders, policy-makers and diverse technical and scientific experts in demonstrating and promoting innovative technologies, for an optimal and safe closed water cycle in Euro-Mediterranean tourist facilities, leading to their eventual market uptake. A representative resort placed in Catalonia, Spain, is considered as ...

ECO-efficient management of WAter in the MAnufacturing industry (ECOWAMA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

The ECOWAMA Project proposes a new eco-efficient closed cycle management model for the treatment of effluents of the metal and plastic surface processing industry (STM). Such STM waste water is extensively contaminated with oils and greases, organic loading, a salt fraction and especially with heavy metals (e.g. nickel, copper, zinc and others). Hence STM enterprises have high interest on efficien ...

Nanotechnological Application in WAter DESalination (NAWADES)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"The main objective of the NAWADES project is to study, design, produce, and test new water desalination filter technology from four points of view:1. the structure of multi-layer membrane filter, including UV light distributed by glass fibers inside the membrane stack2. the materials used to build the filter, including fouling and scaling monitoring3. the coating ...

Electrochemical WAter treatment system in the dairy industry with hydroGEN REcovery and electricity production (REWAGEN)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

The aim of the project is the development of a prototype of a water treatment system -based on the sequential combination of three technologies: electrocoagulation, electrooxidation and a technology for the recovery of generated hydrogen for energy saving and the reutilization of the resulting regenerated water for different applications - more efficient in terms of wastewater treatment and self-s ...

Integrated water treatment in a one-stage oxidative-adsorptive process to degrade and remove harmful substances (OxFloc)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Current costs for industrial wastewater treatment in Europe are already an economic burden and are expected to rise. With 4.5 billion Euros spent each year this is restricting the growth of the European production sector, especially in water scarce areas where there is a pressing need to reuse water. OxFloc aims to reduce treatment costs by at least 30% while offering modular installation and appl ...

A novel energy efficient electrodialysis cell to recycle Acids and Bases from industrial process water based on new types of electrodes to enable internal energy recovery (NOVEED)

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

Within NovEED we will investigate, develop and demonstrate a novel electrocatalytic process based on electrodialysis for the efficient recovery of acids and bases from salt solutions normally discharged at cost. This process is demanded by industrial users of acids and bases, e.g. galvanic industry, metal plating and mining industries, who will be able to regenerate their neutralized solutions to ...

Development of a conductive membrane that generates oxidising surface to prevent biofilm formation and fouling (ConductMem)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,

This project deals with a central problem of filtration systems and in particular of membranes: biofilms and bio-fouling. By its very nature, the surface of a filter is an open structure in which microorganisms can readily settle. Nutrients available in the in-feed enable these to grow. As a result biofilms develop leading to an overall reduction of filtration efficiency of 30-50%, unstable proces ...

Combined anode and cathode process to treat landfill leachate (CleanLeachate)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Waste disposed of in landfill sites degrades over time and produces a liquid waste stream called landfill leachate. The volume of leachate produced is increased by rainfall. It cannot be directly discharged to water courses as it contains many hazardous pollutants and therefore must be retained for treatment. This proposal contains details of the approach we will take to develop an automated, modu ...
