The development of a modular ‘stepping locomotion’ system for installation on subsea trenching machines used for subsea energy cable burial (HEXATERRA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Offshore wind and tidal energy generation is becoming an increasingly important component of the world’s energy mix with Europe at the forefront of this technological revolution. Continued strong growth is predicted. However, a growing problem is manifesting itself within the industry.The submarine cables that are an essential infrastructural component of offshore energy now account for 80% of ins ...

Autonomous Reed Bed Installations (ARBI)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2015,
Subsurface-flow constructed wetlands have become a very popular cost effective and green technology for treatment of waste water throughout Europe and the rest of the world. Original predictions over the longevity of constructed wetlands were approximately 50 -100 years (Conley et al 1991). However, it has become disappointingly apparent that these systems are clogging and have on average a life ...

High Efficiency In Situ Treatment Technology for Contaminated Groundwater (HEISTT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2013,
"The proposed HEISTT solution is the rapid installation of groundwater treatment chemicals as an insitu subsurface remediation technique, brought about by the use of ultrasonic assisted injection technology to create a closely spaced grid of single treatment small diameter wells to a depth of 20m. As part of the boreholing process, remediation chemicals will be introduced in to the ground containe ...

Development of a Retro-Fitted Recycling Unit and Inter-Related Web-Based Logistical Software to Reduce Transport Costs and Improve Competitiveness of Organisations in the Recycling Supply Chain (START)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2012,
The agricultural sector within the EU generates some 274,000tonnes of plastics waste p.a. of which ~88,000tonnes are agricultural plastics film waste. This equates to 250,000tonnes p.a. with ‘soilage’ (soil/grass/stones/etc). Agricultural plastic film waste has proven difficult to recycle commercially due to the high levels of contamination and its wide geographical dispersion which lead to high t ...

The Development of a Novel Remote Stress Sensing System to Increase Safety, Efficiency and Reduce Environmental Effects in Fishing and Mooring applications (SMARTCATCH)
Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2012,
The EU fishing industry is a major source of employment and food providing more than 7.5 million tonnes of fish and employing over 526,000 people of which 88% work within the SME community. The European SMEs in this sector are under increased pressure to increase efficiency due to rising crude oil prices. In addition, there is the EU legislation on Total Allowable Catch or minimum landing sizes a ...

Development of an efficient technique for the reduction of waste in sheeting dough processing in the baking industry (REDUXDO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2010,
"Current dough-sheeting process produces up to 30% of waste (The mass of waste is of 20% order of the end-product produced). The average cost of waste is €100/tonne (including landfill or incineration tax, administration, transport and raw material cost). Such high cost has burdened the industry greatly, and SMEs are particularly vulnerable to further increase of landfill tax. In response to the c ...
