Water treatment resource recovery in fertiliser production

CCm Technologies have developed a technology to process ammonia and organic waste streams found in the wastewater industry, utilising surplus heat and the flue gases from existing combined heat and power (CHP) engines. If successful, the project will save the electricity that is currently used to drive the conventional waste treatment processes and will produce a feedstock for high grade fertiliser, a potentially significant revenue stream. This will also displace further energy used in conventional fertiliser production plants.

Smart pen

Wand wrote: Wand. Is a smart pen with temporary ink that sends to your smartphone every scratch you make on a piece of paper the way you wrote it. The temporary ink evaporates after about 30 minutes from the paper allowing you to see what you’ve written and reuse the same piece of paper afterwards while your data is stored nice and safe on your mobile app and, if you want, backed up on our servers if you choose so...

To know this, we install a specific hardware in the machine to detect the information and then, using a specific software installed previously in an ipad, we can know when and where the machine is going to break. With our solution the automotive companies can avoid a lot of costs, and this can be translated in saving of important quantity of co2... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad

Ultrasonic flow enhancement cold-and hot-runner injection moulding

Soniplas is a new innovation with the potential to transform plastic injection moulding energy efficiency. It utilises ultrasonic energy, applied to the molten polymer as it is injected into the mould, providing a temporary reduction in viscosity as the polymer melt fills the tool, enabling a temperature reduction for the molten polymer of up to 50C - reducing the energy requirement for both heating and cooling after moulding. Matrix Moulding Systems’ Sonimelt technology covers a wide range of applications in the injection moulding sector. It can be retrofitted to existing moulding machines.

Electric pedal vehicles for last-mile delivery

Transport of passengers or small packages over short distances in urban areas is heavily reliant on conventional vehicles utilising internal combustion engine (ICE) technology. Peddlesmart’s innovation involves zero-emissions [at point of use], pedal electric vehicles capable of carrying people or small freight loads. Current models in development can carry loads of up to 200kg with 350kg and 500kg models in development. Significant carbon emissions can be avoided in comparison to conventional ICE technology.
