Microbial Desalination for Low Energy Drinking Water (MIDES)

Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

Shortage of fresh water has become one of the major challenges for societies all over the world. Water desalination offers an opportunity to significantly increase the freshwater supply for drinking, industrial use and irrigation. All current desalination technologies require significant electrical or thermal energy, with today's Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination units consuming electric energy of ...

NanoMaterials Enhanced Membranes for Carbon Capture (NanoMEMC2)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2019,

Membrane separation processes can be applied to many capture processes from Pre-Combustion ( CO2-H2 / CO2-CH4 separation) to Post-Combustion (CO2-N2) and Oxyfuel (O2-N2) and are generally endowed with high flexibility and potentially low operative costs with respect to other capture methods. However the current materials are still lacking of separation performance and durability suitable for an ef ...

Conversion of Low Grade Heat to Power through closed loop Reverse Electro-Dialysis (RED-Heat-to-Power)

Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Apr 30, 2019,

The concept is based on the generation of electricity from salinity gradient using Reverse Electrodialysis with artificial saline solutions operating in a closed-loop. The original salinity gradient is regenerated by a separation step that uses heat at 40 - 100 C. The regenerated solutions can be stored at very low costs and the stack can react within seconds, providing flexibility to the power sy ...

Reverse Electrodialysis Alternative Power Production (REAPower)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

The project is focusing on the salinity gradient power – reverse electrodialysis (SGP-RE) process. It has been shown in scientific papers that the performance of the process can be increased by an order of magnitude when brine and sea or brackish water are used for the creation of the salinity gradient rather than the current approach of seawater with fresh water. The overall potential is very hig ...
