A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
The main product of this technology is a char produced through thermochemical treatment of organic waste and functionalized for several specific applications by engineering the functionalization methods.
The service offered includes the recovery...
The thermo-catalytic reforming technology TCR® enables added value products such as syngas, green hydrogen, bio-oil and biochar from residual biomass from industries operating in the food, agro, forestry and processing sectors. Such products can be...
The research has led to the development of high thermal conductivity screeds, able to optimize the performance of underfloor heating systems. The increased thermal conductivity fosters the heat transfer from screed to internal environment in terms of...
Thermocert
The researches activity has led to the development of a type of infill masonry blocks with high thermal-hygrometric performance, differentiated for thickness, internal layout and admixture, in order to ensure different performances as needed. Blocks...
Innovative concrete elements realized by dry pressing method, constituted by secondary raw materials up to 80% by weight. The elements, with dimensions of about 250 mm x 250 mm, are suitable for applications in traditional walls or ventilated facades...
Working on the design and synthesis of more environmental friendly chemical products, the Sustainable Chemistry Laboratory of CIRI Energy and Environment has developed expertise on alternative chemicals characterized by both high biodegradability and...
In order to optimise material and/or energy recovery processes, it is required to have quantitative data on potential material flows and on their trends over time. For this purpose, a tool such as the Material Flow Analysis (MFA) allows flows to be...
