Synergistic Fouling Control Technologies (SEAFRONT)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Marine biofouling, the unwanted colonization of marine organisms on surfaces immersed in seawater has a huge economic and environmental impact in terms of maintenance requirements for marine structures, increased vessel fuel consumption, operating costs, greenhouse gas emissions and spread of non-indigenous species. The SEAFRONT project will aim to significantly advance the control of biofouling a ...

MUlti-layers control&cognitive System to drive metal and plastic production line for Injected Components (MUSIC)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,

High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) of light alloys and Plastic Injection Molding (PIM) are two of the most representative large-scale production-line in manufacturing field, which are strategic for the EU-industry largely dominated by SMEs. Due to the high number of process variables involved and to the non-sinchronisation of the process control units, HPDC and PIM are most "defect-generating" and ...

Development of reference methods for hazard identification, risk assessment and LCA of engineered nanomaterials (NANOVALID)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

The growing development, production and use of engineered nanomaterials and associated products will increase exposure of both humans and ecosystems to these new materials. However, current knowledge is still incomplete and established test methods are as yet inappropriate to reliably assess the extent of exposure and risk of materials at the nano-scale. There is an urgent need to develop methods ...

A novel energy efficient electrodialysis cell to recycle Acids and Bases from industrial process water based on new types of electrodes to enable internal energy recovery (NOVEED)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Within NovEED we will investigate, develop and demonstrate a novel electrocatalytic process based on electrodialysis for the efficient recovery of acids and bases from salt solutions normally discharged at cost. This process is demanded by industrial users of acids and bases, e.g. galvanic industry, metal plating and mining industries, who will be able to regenerate their neutralized solutions to ...

New bio-inspired processes and products from renewable feedstocks (BIO-MIMETIC)

Start date: Jul 1, 2012, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

Within the FP7 PEOPLE project (Blue4Glue), Fraunhofer Institute (IFAM) and Procter andGamble discovered a (PPO based) enzymatic process used by marine-organisms, which“produce” polymers in a much simpler way (less process steps) than industry does in classicalchemistry. BIO-MIMETIC aims to transfer this new scientific knowledge into a blueprint for anovel (pre-)industrial enzymatic-based bio-polym ...

Developing powder coatings for contact curing of structural adhesives for vehicle bonding applications (POWDERBOND)

Start date: May 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2015,

Adhesive bonding technologies are a substitute for joining processes such as welding which offer vehicle designers the potential to select from a wider range of lightweight materials for vehicle design and construction. The ability to use lightweight materials allows vehicles to maximise fuel efficiency.Current adhesive bonding methods require an energy intensive oven cure process. Furthermore, ov ...

Innovation for Digital Fabrication (Diginova)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Most products are produced by means of the established mass production infrastructure. Traditionally, this involves large stocks, high manual labor, large capital investments, high energy use, long distance transportation. Although many advanced new materials have unique functional properties that hold a great promise for innovation, they often need to meet the criteria and characteristics of this ...

DEMONSTRATION INSTALLATION OF A LEGIONELLA PREVENTIVE BACTERICIDE WATER FILTRATION FOR LARGE PUBLIC AND INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES (Legiotex-Demo)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

The LEGIOTEX-DEMO project will primarily impact on the market for water-based equipment for indoors climate control and water distribution systems within large public and industrial facilities. Legiotex Demo is based on the results of the Legiotex proposal. The general objective of the project was the development of a water filter (LegioTex®WATER) capable to inhibit the growth and proliferation of ...
