Smart Intelligent Aircraft Structures (SARISTU)

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

The project proposal concerns the challenges posed by the physical integration of smart intelligentstructural concepts. It addresses aircraft weight and operational cost reductions as well as animprovement in the flight profile specific aerodynamic performance.This concerns material concepts enabling a conformal, controlled distortion of aerodynamicallyimportant surfaces, material concepts enablin ...

High Performance, Economical and Sustainable Biocomposite Building Materials (BioBuild)

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

The aim of BioBuild is to use biocomposites to reduce the embodied energy in building facade, supporting structure and internal partition systems by at least 50% over current materials with no increase in cost. This will lead to a step change in the use of sustainable, low carbon construction materials, by replacing aluminium, steel, FRP, brick and concrete in buildings.Facades are widely used in ...

Integrated Process Chain for Automated and Flexible Production of Fibre-Reinforced Plastic Products (FIBRECHAIN)

Start date: Jun 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2014,

Lightweight components and their energy-efficient production will form one of the most important key factors for the European industry to fulfil the ever increasing global demands. Nowadays, for 3D-shaped, multi-layered products based on flexible materials only specialized and semi-automated manufacturing equipment is available. The project “Integrated Process Chain for Automated and Flexible Prod ...

Global Assessment of Biomass and Bioproduct Impacts on Socio-economics and Sustainability (Global-Bio-Pact)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

The objective of the Global-Bio-Pact project is the development and harmonisation of global sustainability certification systems for biomass production, conversion systems and trade in order to prevent negative socio-economic impacts. A functioning and sustainable certification scheme requires reliable data and profound research in order to evaluate impacts of biomass production. Currently, the su ...

Reforming of Crude Glycerine in Supercritical Water to Produce Methanol for Re-Use in Biodiesel Plants (SUPER METHANOL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2008, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Biodiesel is produced by transesterification of vegetable oils with methanol. Glycerine is a major by-product of the transesterification process. Due to the rapid increase in biodiesel production capacity in Europe also the amount of glycerine has increased rapidly. The overall project objective is to produce methanol from crude glycerine, and re-use the methanol in the biodiesel plant. This proj ...

Engine and turbine combustion of bioliquids for combined heat and power production (Bioliquids-CHP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

The combustion of plant oils in diesel engines, whether or not after esterification to “biodiesel”, is possible but for the future less desirable because they are derived from food crops (first generation biofuels). Fast pyrolysis liquids derived from ligno-cellulosic materials (second generation biofuel type), are superior in terms of sustainability. Combustion in prime movers like turbines or en ...

Preventing community and nosocomial spread and infection with MRSA ST 398 - instruments for accelerated control and integrated risk management of antimicrobial resistance (PILGRIM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2011,

"Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are of increasing concern both as community- and hospital-acquired pathogens. Since 2005, a specific clone, MRSA ST398 is spreading both in livestock populations and occupationally-exposed people resulting in human infection and disease in several EU Member States. The key objective of the PILGRIM project is to provide a range of novel control m ...
