ATHENA: Analytical & programming efficiency in geoTecHnical ENgineering Applications KU Leuven
Developing offshore renewable energy technologies by accurate numerical modelling techniques for soil-cable and soil-moorings interactions Ghent University
In view of the new EU Green Deal and the EU’s climate and clean energy ambition for 2030, we target offshore renewable energy challenges. Floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are connected to the seabed through mooring cables. The overall research objective is to reduce uncertainties (and subsequently lower costs) in the estimated fatigue damage of mooring cables due to soil-cable interaction in the touch down zone (TDZ); The following ...
Linking microbial community assembly with functionality in lab-scale anaerobic digestion bioreactors: a replicate experimental approach KU Leuven
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the microbiological conversion of organic material under anaerobic conditions, leading to the formation of biomass, biogas and a nutrient rich digestate. The process is gaining an increasing interest because of its potential for simultaneous waste stabilisation and valorisation. Using AD, methane-rich biogas as well as valuable chemicals and a nutrient-rich residue can be produced from organic material in solid ...
