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.
In the aerospace and fast transport sectors there is a growing demand for advanced structural materials capable of withstanding temperatures over 1500 °C in highly corrosive environments. Rocket nozzles and thermal protection systems for spacecraft...
Terra&Acqua Tech Laboratory has developed:
- the localization and georeferenced mapping of nursery areas for veracious clams in lagoon zones, to be used as a decision support tool for the expansion of current nursery areas;
- a process for the...
The project has realized solar demonstrators that combine the decontamination of water containing organic substances to the conversion of solar energy into hydrogen. The production of hydrogen represents in this way an added value to the proposal of...
The VALSOVIT project has been proposed as a tool of technological innovation for the valorization of the waste of the wine production chain for the production of high added-value substances using sustainable technologies. The main results obtained in...
Availing of new Open Source technologies in the ICT field, the project has experimented innovative hardware and software solutions, that allow an aware use of the water resource at the individual user level and the grey and meteoric water reuse...
Geopolymers are synthetic inorganic polymers based on aluminosilicates or phosphates and chemically bonded at T <300 ° C. This technology enables the production of materials with properties of certain ceramic materials with the same approach of...
Transparent ceramic materials are fundamental as sources of laser radiation, especially for high efficiencies and emission in the infrared wavelenghts (typically in the region of 1010 to 1080 nm). The transparent ceramic material that has reached the...
The dispenser system BIOMASS DISP mainly consists of a completely isolated fiberglass tank, a submersible pump, pipes connecting to the water supply to the plant and biogas and a bioactive catalyst Biocat + . The system is fed with water from the...
Some agro-food waste products maintain several compounds even after their processing for dietary uses. By using advanced technologies, it is possible to recover specific molecules that can be employed, once extracted and purified, as secondary raw...
Processes for the production of ceramic-based articles with controlled porosity in terms of volume, morphology, size, interconnection, 3D distribution. ISTEC manufactures ceramic or hybrid architectures with functional porosity (multidimensional from...
The electrochemical approach to water purification is based on the application of an electrical current, therefore the process is remotely controllable and neither personnel intervention nor the use of chemicals are required. The current disinfection...
