INNOMEM
INNOMEM aims at developing a sustainable OITB (Open Innovation Test Bed) to foster deployment and scale-up of innovative nano-enabled membranes and their derived products. Within the scope of INNOMEM, different types of membrane materials (polymeric, ceramic, metallic and nanocomposite), surface modification, membrane morphology and geometry and applications will be covered, providing for the first time a Single-Entry Point (SEP) to provide the businesses in the sector with a one-stop-shop of the best available experts and technologies. European companies, mainly SMEs, will access through the SEP to develop, test and adopt, new high performance, multifunctional, safe and environmentally friendly nano-enabled membranes in a cost-effective and sustainable way while opening-up opportunities for demonstration of innovative nanomembranes in real life industrial problems (TRL7) and thus accelerating the market opening for these new products.
MACBETH
The MACBETH consortium provides a breakthrough technology of highly efficient catalytic membrane reactor (CMR) for advanced downstream processing by combining catalytic synthesis with the corresponding separation units in a single reactor. With this disruptive technology a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and an increase in resource and energy efficiency of large volume industrial processes can be achieved. The revolutionary new reactor design will guarantee substantially smaller and safer production plants and thus reduce operational and investment costs.
MEloDIZER
MEloDIZER implements high-performance membranes and modules in strategic applications of membrane distillation (MD), hence providing the decisive step for the success of MD. MEloDIZER will address these design issues carefully, via both modelling and experimental work, to provide new knowledge about the best combination and maximisation of module parameters suitable for high-end applications, as well as improved module structures. Our modules will simultaneously increase thermal efficiency and productivity through smart geometry, arrangements, spacers, and energy recovery strategies.
CUMERI
Industrial processes use a tremendous amount of valuable resources including raw materials, water and energy. Enhancing the efficient use of resources in environmentally friendly ways will contribute to a more sustainable and resilient economy. The EU-funded CUMERI project will develop and demonstrate advanced membrane separation systems customised for the steel and oil and gas (O&G) sectors. In the steel sector, one comprehensive system will both recover H2 and capture CO2. The O&G industry will benefit from a two-step liquid filtration system to recover base oil and additives recovery from used lubricant oil. The technologies will decrease emissions, enhance the valorisation of valuable chemicals, and increase energy efficiency while promoting a circular economy.
APOLO
APOLO’s main objective is to provide a quantum leap in the development of advanced power conversion technologies based on the smart combination of an innovative onboard ammonia cracking technology based on a Catalytic Membrane Reactor (CMR) coupled with either 1) an advanced Fuel cell running on pure hydrogen or, 2) a novel ammonia engine running on an ammonia/hydrogen blend targeting in all cases the full decarbonization of the maritime sector at the TRL5 scale (125 kW output power).
HERMES
The HERMES project advances hydrogen separation and purification technologies through the development, scaling-up, and industrial demonstration at TRL7 of innovative membrane systems, while conducting comprehensive evaluations for safety, environmental impact, social acceptance, and cost reduction in industrial settings. The project aims at developing and scaling up two membrane technologies (Pd-based and Carbon based membranes), to design and build 2 prototypes at TRL7, and to prove the technologies at two industrial sites (in Italy and in Turkey), for separation of pure hydrogen for 5 different streams of industrial interest. The prototypes will allow the separation of hydrogen with energy consumptions well below 3.5 kWh/kg and costs below 1 euro/kg. The project will also evaluate the environmental impact of the processes with detailed LCA analysis. HERMES will also contribute to safety studies of the system and to the public awareness of the technologies. The project counts with 1 University, 2 research institutions and 4 large industries and SMEs. HERMES will provide a quantum leap in the development of efficient hydrogen separation and purification technology to reduce the cost of hydrogen purification by utilization of two groundbreaking membrane technologies: Palladium based membranes and Carbon Molecular Sieve membranes (CMS). In particular, HERMES will develop 2 prototypes to be tested in two different industrial locations for the separation of 100 kg/day of pure hydrogen from different industrial streams at both low and high hydrogen contents. In both prototypes both Pd-based and Carbon-based membranes will be tested.
