A Novel Microwave-Enhanced Superheated Steam Process for High Performance Drying of Hygroscopic Polymers (HIPERDRY)

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

The principal objective of the HiPerDry project is to create a significant advance over the state of the art in hygroscopic polymer drying technology. A three year development programme which will culminate in the testing and demonstration of a prototype hygroscopic polymer drying system is proposed. The resulting combined microwave and super-heated steam drying (MW-SHSD) system will boast the fol ...

DEMONSTRATION-PLANT PROJECT TO PRODUCE POLY-LACTIC ACID (PLA) BIOPOLYMER FROM WASTE PRODUCTS OF BAKERY INDUSTRY (BREAD4PLA)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Background About 8-9% of fossil fuels consumed in the EU are used as raw material in various industrial processes. About half of this amount is used in the manufacture of polymers. Fossilised carbon is therefore transformed into products that may, at the end of their useful life, release this carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. As ...

Development of crosslinked flexible bio-based and biodegradable pipe and drippers for micro-irrigation applications (HYDRUS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"The Southern Accession countries and Southern EU countries use the largest percentages of abstracted water for agriculture (75 % and 50 %, respectively), primarily for irrigation. This means consume of 120.000 Millions of m3/year of water. The use of micro irrigation system can reduce the water consume in near 60%, i.e., reduction in consume of 70.000 millions of m3/year. Furthermore, this market ...

"Development of a new recyclable long life co-injected high barrier packaging for food applications, with broad design possibilities and reduced manufacturing costs" (COBAPACK)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2011,

"Plastics used in packaging are seen everywhere in developed societies. Demand of long life rigid packing with high barrier properties grows up quickly (around 200.000 Tn are produced annually in Europe). Barrier packages are employed to preserve foodstuffs from environmental agents, so to control the package permeability to gases (O2,N2,CO2) is very important. Furthermore, mechanical and food the ...
