Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for Oxy-Combustion (HETMOC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

This project will develop and demonstrate Highly Efficient Tubular Membranes for OxyCombustion. Oxycombustion is a promising option for implementing cost-efficient carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) in future coal fired power plants. The use of oxygen membranes in the process has the potential to significantly reduce the efficiency losses associated with the capture and to improve the overall ...

Design and Manufacturing of Catalytic Membrane Reactors by developing new nano-architectured catalytic and selective membrane materials (DEMCAMER)

Start date: Jul 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

The DEMCAMER project proposes an answer to the paradigm met by the European Chemical Industry: increase the production rate while keeping the same products quality and reducing both production costs and environmental impacts. Through the implementation of a novel process intensification approach consisting on the combination of reaction and separation in a “Catalytic Membrane Reactor” single unit. ...

Demonstration of a cost effective medium size Chemical Looping Combustion through packed beds using solid hydrocarbons as fuel for power production with CO2 capture (DEMOCLOCK)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2015,

DemoCLOCK aims to demonstrate the technical, economic and environmental feasibility for implementing packed bed based high temperature high pressure Chemical Looping Combustion (CLC) in large-scale power plants. A medium sized (500 kW) fixed bed reactor will be designed, build and operated integrated in an existing Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant at Elcogas. The packed be ...

"Development of active, intelligent and sustainable food PACKaging using PolybutyleneSUCCInate" (SUCCIPACK)

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

"SUCCIPACK aims to support European industry efforts to introduce biobased polybutylene succinate (PBS) as a new material on the food packaging market. Its main advantage is that it has complementary properties compared to other biobased polymers like polylactic acid. PBS is synthesized by polycondensation of succinic acid and butanediol, both identified as key “building blocks” from renewable res ...

Innovative Oxygen Carriers Uplifting chemical-looping combustion (INNOCUOUS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

"The main difficulty with carbon capture is high energy penalty and costs for gas separation processes, common for pre-combustion capture, post-combustion capture and oxyfuel combustion. The fundamental novelty of chemical looping combustion (CLC) is that no gas separation step is needed at all. Metal oxides are used to transport oxygen from an air reactor to a fuel reactor. The principle ideally ...

FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES AND EQUIPMENT BASED ON ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE PLASMA PROCESSING FOR 3D NANO STRUCTURED SURFACES (N2P)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

Outstanding progress has been made in recent years in developing novel structures and applications for direct fabrication of 3D nanosurfaces. However, exploitation is limited by lack of suitable manufacturing technologies. In this project we will develop innovative in-line high throughput technologies based on atmospheric pressure surface and plasma technologies. The two identified approaches to d ...

Atmospheric Plasmas for Nanoscale Industrial Surface Processing (PlasmaNice)

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

Atmospheric plasma techniques as processing methods have a number of advantages which include their ability to tailor the surface chemistry at the nanometre level. As such, the plasma treatments are energy efficient, reproducible and environmentally clean. In-line, continuous reel-to-reel processing equipment has been developed in the last 5 years. The wide scale application of this nano-processin ...
