Project description
Towards improved water sanitation in aircraft
To maintain health and hygiene in aircraft, high water sanitation standards are important. With this in mind, the EU-funded HYGIEIA project aims to design a grey water container and its manufacturing process with reduced biofilm growth. The plastic container will have a broad-spectrum antimicrobial coating and strike a balance between being low in weight and having a sufficiently rigid base for the coating technology. The manufacturing process that is best suited to the coating technology will be chosen based on simplicity, effectiveness and cost-efficiency. The project will provide a longer-lasting and more effective and economically competitive antimicrobial solution for aircraft water sanitation than currently available.
Objective
The aim of the HYGIEIA project is to design a grey water container, and its manufacture procedure, with reduced biofilm growth, which is more effective, long lasting and economically competitive with respect to antimicrobial solutions currently implemented in the context of aircraft water sanitation; while at the same time searching for lighter weight but strong structural solutions. HYGIEIA is based on a plastic container with a wide range antimicrobial coating. The container will be designed looking for the perfect compromise between weight reduction over traditional designs, and giving a sufficiently rigid base for the coating technology while satisfying the requirements imposed by the standard RTCA Do160 Rev. G. The simplest, cheapest and most effective manufacturing process will be identified which is optimally adapted to the coating technology being applied from the point of view of initial surface roughness.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
