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 ...

Innovation Demonstration for a Competitive and Innovative European Water Reuse Sector (DEMOWARE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

The ability of Europe’s communities to respond to increasing water stress by taking advantage of water reuse opportunities is restricted by low public confidence in solutions, inconsistent approaches to evaluating costs and benefits of reuse schemes, and poor coordination of the professionals and organisations who design, implement and manage them. The DEMOWARE initiative will rectify these shortc ...

NOO2 - Development of an efficient oxygen elimination technology for reducing oxygen content in landfill gas for fuel quality (NOO2)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: May 31, 2016,

European policy targets to increase the utilization of renewable energy sources. Biogas is one of the possible solutions for achieving these targets. Although agriculture and waste water are the main sources of biogas, landfills, collecting municipal waste, have huge potential, too. There are about 3000 landfills operating in the EU, accepting ~100 million tons of municipal waste per year. The po ...

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 ...

Development of an automated processing method, a “Green Box”, for production of bio heating oil from waste sources (BIOHEATINGOIL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

The BioHeatingOil project will develop a robust and cost-effective automated processing method, a “Green Box”, for production of bio heating oil - using waste sources in form of fat & grease from the food production industry and grease traps as raw material. In current State of the art (SoA) methods which use fat & grease as a raw material, the quality of the raw material put into the production d ...

Sustainable sewage sludge management fostering phosphorus recovery and energy efficiency (P-REX)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Phosphorus is one essential element of life, which can neither be produced synthetically nor substituted by any other substance. Its importance as plant nutrient is emphasized by the huge amount of 975 000 tons of phosphorus annually imported into Europe to sustain good harvests. While phosphorus is a limited fossil element, its extensive recovery from “secondary deposits” is of paramount importan ...

Electro-agglomeration and separation of Engineered NanoParticles from process and waste water in the coating industry to minimise health and environmental risks (NANOFLOC)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"The rapid introduction of nano-based products into the market has caused a major concern both for health and environmental impacts, among others from the paint and coating business. A number of studies have documented health risks related to nanoparticles, inhalation exposure and dermal contact being main exposure routes in the coating and paint industry. Likewise, discharge of nanoparticles into ...

Development of sustainable and cost effective water quality management technology for the aquaculture industry (RAZONE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

The proposers of RAZone have identified a new market opportunity in enhancing the productivity of the aquaculture sector and minimizing risks associated with application of ozone for water quality management in hatchery and ongrow farms that use RAS technology. This will be achieved by developing improved ozoneflotation technology that is cost effective, user friendly and safe both for stock and f ...
