R&D - Project
RECYBER Completed
Advanced circular rubber
Develop an advanced circular rubber material with a reduced carbon footprint and improved end-of-life recyclability through the use of bio-based raw materials.
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.
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.
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.
NITRASORP Completed
Textile-based absorbents for the removal of nitrates from drinking water.
Development of a surface-modified textile filter for the adsorption of nitrates from drinking water.
YARUP Completed
Yacon syrup as a new prebiotic-rich alternative to sugar
YaRup aims to offer a new natural alternative to sugar by transforming yacon tubers into a syrup with high nutritional value, rich in prebiotics and with good organoleptic properties.
