Development of a cost-efficient, precise and miniaturized sensor system (Nano-Spectrometer) for quality and process control in the food industry (FOOD-WATCH)

Start date: Aug 1, 2014, End date: Jul 31, 2016,

Quality assurance plays a key role in the food industry. Current control of safety and quality characteristics of the various products is carried out mainly by random sampling of the initial, intermediate and/or final products. However, this methodology does not allow immediate adjustments to the production process in case any negative quality features are detected and consequently large batches o ...

New technological applications for wet biomass waste stream products (NEWAPP)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

"3 billion tonnes of biomass waste are produced each year in the European Union. From these, a substantial amount is organic waste. These wet biomass waste streams are abundantly available in Europe, while their disposal and recycling becomes increasingly difficult as energy efficient, environmentally sound and economically viable processes hardly exist. The existing treatment methods for these st ...

Natural Water Systems and Treatment Technologies to cope with Water Shortages in Urbanised Areas in India (NAWATECH-EU PART)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The here proposed NAwATech Europe proposal is closely interconnected with the partner project NaWaTech India. In order to reach the maximal impact the two projects have formed one common work plan for both projects, targeting the same objectives, will present their results at the same web-site and formed a joint management team. Providing adequate water supply and sanitation, particularly in urban ...

Automatic harvesting system for SRC nurseries (ROD-PICKER)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Biomass is increasingly being seen as an important energy resource for Europe. However, due to sustainability requirements the biomass which can be harvested from European forests has only a limited growth potential. Therefore, the political focus has changed to the production of fast growing wooden biomass (Short-Rotation-Coppice (SRC) or Short-Rotation-Plantations (SRPs) on agricultural lands in ...

Capacity-Linked water supply and sanitation improvement for Africa's peri-urban and Rural Areas (CLARA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

"There are a large number of small communities and towns in Africa that suffer from severe problems with water supply and sanitation. Small communities in rural areas and peri-urban areas of small towns have comparable settlement structures in which reuse of water and use of sanitation products can be utilized. However, there is only limited local capacity to adopt, implement and operate integrate ...

Development of an automatic irrigation and fertilization system (OPTIFERT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

"Due to climate related changes, longer dry periods for European farmers and without irrigation the risk of a volatile harvests will rise, that is the reason for a tendency acrossEurope to irrigate fields. The need for innovative irrigated systems is to minimize water consumption and costs. Also in times of limited water the project will be lucrative.There are more and more increasing cost pressur ...

INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT IN WESTERN AFRICA (IWWA)

Start date: Jun 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2012,

Most of African countries are struggling towards development and improving their living conditions. An appropriate waste management structure at a national and regional level is a milestone that must be achieved in order to improve living standards, health and environment. The situation in many countries is that the obvious lack of a functional waste management system brings perennial garbage prob ...
