The fouling of heat exchangers is a chronic operating problem in that it reduces heat transfer and energy recovery, resulting in annual industry-wide losses of $4.5bn. The Clean-Ex project is providing the energy sector with a novel on-line cleaning system to mitigate these losses. Heat exchangers

Background Increasing the uptake of Renewable Energy Systems (RES) is crucial if Europe is to achieve ambitious energy and emission reduction targets. However, despite steep increases in energy prices the uptake of domestic RES is still very limited. The initial investment required means t

A low cost power management system enables SMES to compete in the electric vehicle market. With electric vehicles seen as the future for sustainable transport, high costs mean the market has been dominated by large vehicle manufacturers. Thanks to the SafeDrive open platform power management sys

Background HEISTT is a European collaborative project with the intention of creating an innovative system of injecting remedial chemicals into the subsurface for the purpose of treating contaminated groundwater. The proposed technology aims to develop a rapid and highly efficient method of

Project context and objectives The long-term objective of the WOODLIFE project is to provide coated and glued wood products with substantially improved durability for a more sustainable society. The project aims to develop new water-based clear coating systems for wood with improved ultravi

Project context and objectives NANOINSULATE will develop durable, robust, cost-effective opaque and transparent vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) incorporating new nanotechnology-based core materials (such as nanofoams and aerogel composites) and high-barrier films, resulting in panels that a
