Upscale and demonstration of a integrated novel microwave pre-treatment system for efficient production of biogas from anaerobic digestion of pig manure to create a sustainable waste management system (biowave)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2016, Date de fin: 31 mars 2018,
Ashleigh Farms Limited are successful pig rearers for the pork meat industry. Currently they own over 1,500 sows that produce a combined total of 37,000 pigs per year. The pig farming industry is significant across Europe and it is increasingly becoming more and more difficult for pig farmers to be profitable and competitive. There are numerous legislations that are inhibiting the ability for pig ...

The development of a modular ‘stepping locomotion’ system for installation on subsea trenching machines used for subsea energy cable burial (HEXATERRA)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 30 nov. 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)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2013, Date de fin: 31 août 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 ...

Advanced Microwave Plasma Gasification of pig and cow manure for cost-effective biogas generation (PLAGASMIC)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2012, Date de fin: 31 août 2014,
"The livestock sector in Europe is facing a problem: The manure it generates cannot all be used as fertiliser because excessive amounts of manure to land can lead to surface and ground water contamination through the accumulation of minerals in the soil, as manure contains high amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. The EU has legislated to place severe restrictions on the quantity of organic manure ...

Controlled quenching and heat recovery from thin walled, complex high performance, hardened Al alloy extrusions (ECOQUENCH)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,
Our Idea is to develop a computer controlled, advanced, profile spray quench, heat extraction system with advanced cooling rate control, closed loop thermal and dimensional control and integrated high grade heat recovery & re-use. We aim to recover 50% of the energy wasted at the profile cooling stage (for re-use in the energy intensive heat-ageing process), and simultaneously reduce scrap produce ...

High Efficiency In Situ Treatment Technology for Contaminated Groundwater (HEISTT)
Date du début: 1 oct. 2010, Date de fin: 30 sept. 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)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 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)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 31 janv. 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 ...

Release of sugars from lignocellulosic biomass by microwave plasma (Micrograss)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2012,
Biofuels for transport are considered to be the answer decreasing green house gas emissions, to enhance energy security and respond to rising oil prices by substituting or blending petrol and diesel with biofuels and to contribute to regional development by increasing employment opportunities and diversifying activities for farmer through energy crops. The EU only produces 4.1 % of the total world ...

Development of an efficient technique for the reduction of waste in sheeting dough processing in the baking industry (REDUXDO)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2008, Date de fin: 31 août 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 ...
