ECO-efficient management of WAter in the MAnufacturing industry (ECOWAMA)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The ECOWAMA Project proposes a new eco-efficient closed cycle management model for the treatment of effluents of the metal and plastic surface processing industry (STM). Such STM waste water is extensively contaminated with oils and greases, organic loading, a salt fraction and especially with heavy metals (e.g. nickel, copper, zinc and others). Hence STM enterprises have high interest on efficien ...

Integrated water treatment in a one-stage oxidative-adsorptive process to degrade and remove harmful substances (OxFloc)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Current costs for industrial wastewater treatment in Europe are already an economic burden and are expected to rise. With 4.5 billion Euros spent each year this is restricting the growth of the European production sector, especially in water scarce areas where there is a pressing need to reuse water. OxFloc aims to reduce treatment costs by at least 30% while offering modular installation and appl ...

Development and demonstration of energy efficient system for accelerated curing during repair and refurbishment of concrete structures (MCURE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
This project has been initiated by the 4 SMEs from different European countries who are all committed to participating in the successful research, development and subsequent demonstration of the MCure project in order to improve the quality and curing time of concrete constructions. Over 50% of expenditure in the EU construction sector is on repair of existing structures rather than on new build. ...

Demonstration of a novel system to breakdown hazardous substances in wastewater streams into harmless bio-friendly compounds using multi-chromatic UV light (L4CW-DEMO)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
Many industrial processes create a significant volume of polluted waste water streams, which needs to be cleaned prior to return to the environment to ensure the sustainability of the water supplies and the environment. This is reflected in a significant body of legislation, including the European Water Framework Directive and the IPPC directive. Light4CleanWater R4SME project (FP7-SME-2008-01-232 ...

Development of a conductive membrane that generates oxidising surface to prevent biofilm formation and fouling (ConductMem)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2013,
This project deals with a central problem of filtration systems and in particular of membranes: biofilms and bio-fouling. By its very nature, the surface of a filter is an open structure in which microorganisms can readily settle. Nutrients available in the in-feed enable these to grow. As a result biofilms develop leading to an overall reduction of filtration efficiency of 30-50%, unstable proces ...
