Systemic large scale eco-innovation to advance circular economy and mineral recovery from organic waste in Europe Ghent University
SYSTEMIC will reach a break-through to re-enter recovered nutrients from organic waste into the production cycle. Consequently, this will offer solutions for pressing environmental issues and to reduce the import of P as finite irreplaceable resource in mines.
The SYSTEMIC project aims to shift the European Biomass treatment practice to the next level. Departing from existing business cases and a new ground-breaking large scale ...
Up-scaling cluster beam flux of magnetron-sputtering sources – Towards industrial applications KU Leuven
In the last decades multi-atomic systems and clusters of atoms have increasingly attracted more and more interest among researchers, for their unique properties deeply influenced by their particle sizes just sitting in the transitional range from single atoms to the bulk solid-state. These nanoparticles/clusters have found wide applications, for example in catalysis or sensing due to their high surface to volume ratio; in novel optical and ...
Integrated treatment of non-ionic surfactant containing industrial wastewater: process optimization, material selection and life cycle analysis KU Leuven
Endocrine-disrupting compounds are increasingly recognized as a severe threat to aquatic (micro-)organisms and public health. One class of components that have distinct endocrine disruptive properties are non-ionic surfactants, such as alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEOs). Nonyl- and octylphenol ethoxylates are the most well-known APEOs used as non-ionic surfactants and are applied as cleaning, washing and surface-active agents in the textile ...
Fostering Precision Agriculture and Livestock Farming through secure access to large-scale HPC-enabled virtual industrial experimentation environment empowering scalable Big Data analytics Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
CYBELE is a 3-year project to demonstrate how high performance computing (HPC) and Big Data analysis can help revolutionize agriculture and boost precision farming in order to create social, economic and environmental benefits. CYBELE aims to ensure that the stakeholders have a secure access to large-scale datasets and have the processing power available to analyse and process this data, ...

Development and deployment of physics-based digital twins for the analysis of the vibro-acoustic behavior of systems of industrial complexity. KU Leuven
The vibro-acoustic performance of mechatronic systems is a vital aspect of their operation. Thus, it needs to be assessed during both the design process and the operational life of the asset. This proposal aims to develop and deploy physics-based virtual entities called “Digital Twins” (DT) for the purpose of analyzing the vibroacoustic behaviour of these systems. A DT is a virtual duplicate of a physical system, built from a fusion of ...
