R&D - Project
EXPLAINED Completed
Extrusion of insect and plant proteins: texturization and impact on digestibility.
Mealworms could be a key food source to prevent famine in a world with a constantly growing population.
PROTINNOV Completed
Innovative strategies for a rational design of vegetarian products
In response to growing consumer awareness in favour of healthier and more sustainable products, demand for plant-protein-based foods and beverages is rising sharply.
VALORBSY Completed
Brewery yeast valorized for nutritional ingredients as alternatives to animal proteins
The ValorBSY project aims for the sustainable valorization of residual yeast from craft breweries for the agri-food industry, combining collection technologies, targeted extraction, and the creation of new products.
Wallep Completed
Development of a new product range to benefit the spelt value chain in Wallonia
Funded by the Marshall Plan, the Wallep project is structuring a sustainable spelt value chain in Wallonia. The objective: to add value to this local cereal through short supply chains to ensure a stable income for farmers.
BEFRESH Completed
Gentle technologies for the sustainable stabilization of high value-added carbonated beverages.
The BeFresh project develops high-pressure processing and sustainable packaging to stabilize natural carbonated beverages without preservatives, while preserving their quality.
GEPI4REE Completed
Recovery of rare earths from electronic waste
Specific microflotation system for rare earth ions for the development of a recovery and purification process for Neodymium from electronic waste.
DAF3D Completed
Antibacterial textiles and 3D filters for process water treatment.
The DAF3D project aims to develop and validate an antimicrobial filter combining functionalized textiles and 3D-printed supports for the treatment of process water at a demonstration scale.
AOPTi Completed
Photocatalytic Oxidation to Remove Micropollutants from Urban and Industrial Wastewater
Evaluation of the Advanced Photocatalytic Oxidation Process for Micropollutant Removal in Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants
BACZEREAU Completed
Innovative and energy-efficient disinfection for natural bathing areas.
The BACZEREAU project validates a UVA-Visible photocatalytic reactor to effectively disinfect wastewater by destroying pathogens via their cell wall rather than their DNA.
ALBAPRO Completed
Combined algae-bacteria process for low-energy wastewater treatment
The objective of the ALBAPRO project was the technical utilization of mixed microalgae-bacteria systems to treat municipal and industrial effluents and produce biomass for subsequent valorization.
