Reliable and Efficient Combustion of Oxygen/Coal/Recycled Flue Gas Mixtures (RELCOM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Most coal-fired utility boilers are fired with pulverised coal and the use of this technology for power generation far outweighs that of alternatives. The consortium have identified key issues that need to be addressed to pave the way for full-scale deployment of oxy-coal firing. As most previous work has been undertaken at pilot-scale so that, in addition to medium scale demonstration activities, ...

Ambulatory Magneto-Enhancement of Transdermal High Yield Silver Therapy (AMETHYST)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2013,

There are approximately 2 million people who suffer from chronic wounds such as venous leg ulcers in Europe at the present time. These wounds typically take between 12 and 24 weeks to heal, but 30% take over two years. This represents a cost to the European healthcare services of at least €8 billion a year in treatment. Two thirds of cases are released immediately for treatment in the community, ...
