ProPAT - PATBox - Global Control System Platform
PATBox- Global Control System Platform
PATBox consists in a flexible and scalable Global Control System Platform that would enable the seamless management of raw data from multiple different PAT analysers and sensors, whereby PATbox could acquire, process and analyse this data through a series of proprietary, user-built and third-party models, in order to give real-time information to operators for decision support, or to enable closed loop actuation. PATbox vision was also to ensure...
SHAREBOX - Secure Management Platform for Shared Process Resources
SHAREBOX - Secure Management Platform for Shared Process Resources
SHAREBOX brings to market a secure platform for the flexible management of shared process resources with intelligent decision support tools and supports the creation and maintenance of Industrial Symbiosis across sectors. SHAREBOX platform covers the entire lifecycle of Industrial Symbiosis, from identification of new symbiotic synergies right through the establishment, maintenance and optimization of these relations...
IbD- Software Platform for Process Intensification
IbD has created a holistic platform for facilitating process intensification in processes in which solids are an intrinsic part, the cornerstone of which will be an intensified-by-design (IbD). The IbD approach is hinged on the use of robust data about a process to ‘redesign’, modify, adapt and alter that process in a continuous, intensified system, and will be the new paradigm in the intensification of processes based on statistical, analytical and risk management methodologies in the...
STYLE Insights - Using sustainability evaluation tools in industry project teams
STYLE focused on specific scenario: “A project team is evaluating options for a resource or energy improvement for their process or product and they need a pragmatic tool to check the broader sustainability implications of each technological solution”.
The STYLE Insight summaries highlight issues and recommendations of using sustainability evaluation tools in industry project teams:
Simple, but not Simplistic - Challenges for qualitative sustainability assessments Working with...STYLE Ideal Toolkit Framework
STYLE focused on specific scenario: “A project team is evaluating options for a resource or energy improvement for their process or product and they need a pragmatic tool to check the broader sustainability implications of each technological solution”.
A key recommendation of STYLE was the need to develop an Ideal Toolkit for the STYLE scenario. The STYLE framework details the high-level features and functions of this toolkit.
DREAM Technology Case Study: Innovative Refractory Materials
Reflective coating has been developed for reducing the heat loss through the walls of ceramic roller kilns for tile manufacturing. The coating composition contains aluminum oxide that gives IR-reflective properties to the coating. The main aim of the coating is to save energy by lowering the radiative heat transfer from the kiln to the surface of the refractory lined walls and, as consequence, to reduce heat loss through the kiln walls.
The coating has been developed for the...
Published Article: How to Improve Impact Reporting for Sustainability
Abstract: Measuring real-world impact is vital for demonstrating the success of a project and one of the most direct ways to justify taxpayers’ contributions towards public funding. Impact reporting should identify and examine the potential positive and negative consequences of the continuing operations of a proposed project and suggest strategies to expand, further develop, mitigate, avoid or offset them. Designing a tool or methodology that will capture the impact of collaborative...
