Biowaste derived volatile fatty acid platform for biopolymers, bioactive compounds and chemical building blocks (VOLATILE)

Start date: Dec 1, 2016, End date: Nov 30, 2020,

VOLATILE aims in the development of an innovative Volatile Fatty Acids Platform for the bioconversion of municipal solid bio-waste fraction and sludgy biowaste from other industries. The platform will be integrated in anaerobic digestion. The volatile fatty acids will be recovered continuously using sophisticated membrane technology and will be provided as feedstock / carbon source for value added ...

Distributed Intelligence for Cost-Effective and Reliable Distribution Network Operation (DISCERN)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

As the patterns of power generation and distribution are rapidly changing in Europe towards a highly dispersed and volatile system, Distribution System Operators need to completely change traditional ways of grid operations. Currently developed solutions to increase the intelligence of medium and low voltage grids to cope with this task are often highly specialized, non-replicable and therefore no ...

Low temperature hydrogen production from second generation biomass (HyTime)

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

The aim of HyTime is to deliver a bioprocess for decentral H2 production from 2nd generation biomass with a productivity of 1-10 kg H2/d. The novel strategy in HyTime is to employ thermophilic bacteria which have shown superior yields in H2 production from biomass in the previous FP6 IP HYVOLUTION.Biomass in HyTime is grass, straw, molasses or unsold organic goods from supermarkets. The biomass is ...

A novel technology for sewerage mapping, inspection and cleaning with integrated real-time self-audit capability (PipeGuard)

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

Sewage systems are crucial to reduce the risks of water borne diseases and avoid flooding of cities. Cleaning processes are thus highly important to avoid health risks and environmental, economic and societal impacts which can be caused by damaged or blocked sewerage. European sewage networks are operated by over 20,000 municipalities and public entities which spend over €6.5 billion annually to c ...

Forest Resource Sustainability through Bio-Based-Composite Development (FORBIOPLAST)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2012,

"The forest biomass represents an abundant, renewable, no-food competition and low cost resource that can play an alternative role to petro-resources. In spite of positive experimental results industrial production and marketing of materials derived from renewable resources are rarely achieved because of high processing costs and low properties of final products usually targeted to single use sect ...

Concept, design and prototyping of compact sensor nodes using electromechanical impedance and broad band acousto-ultrasonic method for structural health monitoring (AU-BB/EMI sensor nod)

Start date: Nov 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2010,

In the course of the project compact sized, rugged network enabled sensor nodes for monitoring structural health using • Electro mechanical impedance method (EMI) • Broadband acousto ultrasonic method (AU-BB), will be designed (embedded hard- and software) and prototypes manufactured. A cost-efficient but still failure tolerant network interface will enable the sensor node to operate in a heteroge ...
