A highly efficient intelligent industrial microwave heating system based on high power solid state technology (CLEAN-HEAT)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2017,
Magnetrons are the most widely used microwave technology today for both industrial and domestic microwaves. But these systems can only achieve efficiencies of around 45 to 50%, pose safety risks as the use high voltages (5kV) and the magnetrons have a short lifespan requiring frequent replacement. Magnetron technology does not allow for the automatic adjustment of power level to match the load var ...

High-frequency ELectro-Magnetic technologies for advanced processing of ceramic matrix composites and graphite expansion (HELM)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,
"Lightweight ceramics and fibre reinforced ceramic composites, such as non-oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) and Expanded Graphite (EG), represent very promising solutions for high temperature applications in strategic industrial sectors, such as transport and energy. In fact, these materials are one of topical priorities of the European Technology Platform EuMAT and a strategic issue of the ...

Tyre Recycling Pyrolysis for producing oil with less than 0.2% sulphur content, low cost sulphur impregnated carbon for reducing mercury air emissions, with simultaneous elemental (SULFREE)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
SULFREE offers a complete, end-to-end process for ELT recycling, which breaks down tyres to valuable productsthat can be reused by the EU tyre industry; instead of merely recycling them either as tyre crumb or as fuel (i.e.tyres are burned for power production). The recovery of oil and sulphur reduces the dependence on importedproducts and lessens the effect of price volatility on tyre production ...

"Elimination of NOx, SOx and Particulates in Rail Transportation" (ENSPIRIT)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2015,
"Locomotive engines are significant contributors to air pollution in many cities and ports. Although locomotive engines being produced today must meet relatively modest emission requirements set in 1997, they continue to emit large amounts of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter (PM).The 2008 Clean Air Non-road Diesel Rule stipulates new requirements for non-road diesel fuel that will decrease t ...

Resource-Efficient Self-Reinforced Plastic Materials and Processing (ESPRIT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The aims of the Esprit project are to reduce the amount of plastic used to make a component by 30% and reduce component weight by 30%, by developing the next generation of lightweight, self-reinforced plastics and the energy-efficient manufacturing processes needed to produce components from this family of materials. Current forms of self-reinforced plastics typically offer typically 3-5 times th ...
