Bringing a modular technology for fresh water sea-transportation to full scale (XXL-REFRESH)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
XXL-REFRESH is built upon the results obtained by the REFRESH project (GA 262494), in which the project team demonstrated the feasibility of transportation of large quantities of fresh water by the sea using modular flexible barges. The key innovation introduced by REFRESH is the use of open modular textile containers connected by extra-strong watertight zips and the use of an online monitoring sy ...

Green technology for fresh water sea-transportation based on a flexible containers system (REFRESH)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,
"50 million European citizens, 18% of the European population, live in countries affected by water stress problems; forecast variations in rainfall pattern trends, due to global climate change, add to this already serious situation: according to the EEA, 16 to 44 million additional people will suffer water scarcity in Southern Europe by 2070. The importance of the problem is recognised at the Eur ...
