Demonstration project for water saving in car wash premises using innovative detergents and soft treatment systems. (MINAQUA)

Start date: Jul 16, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Background The balance between water demand and supply has reached critical levels in many European areas. The effects of climate change and the alteration of rain patterns and hydrological systems will only intensify the problem in years to come. In some Mediterranean regions with frequent droughts, urban development is putting the viability of existing ...

Automated in-line Metrology for Nanoscale Production (aim4np)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

Knowing the mechanical properties of workpieces and machine-tools also at the nanometer scale is an absolute necessity for an efficient nanoscale production. Current technologies are lacking the flexibility and robustness needed for measuring such key parameters as topography, morphology, roughness, adhesion, or micro- and nano-hardness directly in a production environment. This hinders rapid deve ...

Resorbable Ceramic Biocomposites for Orthopaedic and Maxillofacial Applications (RESTORATION)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

Ceramic composite materials have for many years been considered to show great promise in the repair of musculoskeletal defects. The materials can mimic the structure of bone, and devices made from the materials can be structured to closely match the mechanical requirements of implant sites. In addition, wide ranges of bioactivity are possible, from inert to fully resorbable.Bioceramics have most ...

Regeneration of Cardiac Tissue Assisted by Bioactive Implants (RECATABI)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

Heart failure is the end-stage of many cardiovascular diseases, but the leading cause is the presence of a large scar due acute to myocardial infarction. Current therapeutic treatments under development consist in cellular cardiomyoplasty where myocardial cells or stem cells are implanted alone or encapsulated in natural scaffolds (collagens) and grafted onto infarcted ventricles with the hope tha ...

Novel plasma-catalyst reactor for the total conversion of the ammonia contained in pig manure into environmental neutral products (PLASMANURE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2012,

"The EU trend towards concentration and intensification of livestock, in particular pig farming, has resulted in increased burdens related to waste management (increased water, soil and air ammonia pollution) as well as increased difficulties to adhere to EU environmental legislation. Consortium SMEs have identified a clear need to find a cost effective, carbon neutral way of eliminating inassimil ...

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 ...
