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.
Energy systems are undergoing a transition towards new planning and management models in which energy networks (heat, electricity, gas, transports, etc.) will be integrated with each other to maximise possible synergies (Smart Energy Systems).

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...
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...
To contribute to identify the most effective choices towards a sustainable waste management, the MatER Study Center provides technical and scientific consultancy based on a thorough survey of the technologies and policies adopted for recovering...
The technical and economic assessment of plants producing electrical and/or thermal energy from renewable sources (biomass, wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric) is essential to design the plant itself and monitor its performance. The system's...
Due to the proximity to emissions from vehicular traffic, recognised as the main source of fine and ultra-fine particulate in urban areas, individuals moving on foot or with other means of transport in a town are potentially exposed to high...
On site surveys to assess emissions from combustion processes in stationary plants (small thermal power plants for building heating fuelled by wood, pellet, oil and gas and industrial plants for WTE incineration of waste), ultrafine particulate...
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...
