Sustainability pre-assessment
(opens in new window)
This report will precise further targets and guidelines for CUMERI to ensure its sustainability at environmental, societal and economic levels. It will precise, for each application, the links of the value chains considered, their scope and system boundaries, flow diagrams to be used in the evaluations, and results of a first simplified sustainability assessment. This is the basis for the detailed work in WP6.
Models for membrane downselection
(opens in new window)
A modelling tool will be developed to evaluate the performance of polymeric HF membranes for GS (CO2, H2) using CFD. This tool will allow optimising the module design of HF membranes for GS by evaluating the operating conditions (liquid/ gas flow rate, in flow, membrane shear stress, velocity and pressure distribution) and geometry configuration (module shape and geometry) on their performance.In the case of UF and ME membranes, the HSPiP software will initially be used to restrict the solvent selection to those with the highest separation factors.In the case of UF membranes, existing models will be used to predict their performance and membrane fouling in the purification of the oils studied. On the other hand, a rigorous model will be used to predict the mass transport in the ME by means of experimental validations. Subsequently, the operating conditions (flow configuration, phase relationship, temperature and flow rate) will be evaluated to calculate the membrane area required for the removal of additives from the oils studied.
Plan for the dissemination and exploitation including communication activities
(opens in new window)
Such a plan defines the communication and dissemination goals, the target audience, the main messages to be conveyed and the strategy to be adopted to overcome the barriers that could negatively affect the communication of the project. In particular, this plan will plan in detail the public website, web 2.0 activity campaign, press releases, publications, conferences, newsletters, etc.
