Objective
THE AIM OF THE PROPOSED R&D PROJECT IS TO GATHER INFORMATION ON INDUSTRIAL WASHING PROCESSES AND TO OBTAIN THE BASIC DATA NEEDED TO ADAPT EXISTING MACHINERY OR DEVELOP NEW MACHINERY. ENERGY CONSUMPTION CAN BE CUT BY HALF BY ADAPTING COMPLICATED WASHING PROCESSES. SOME 12 MILLION GJ IS CONSUMED EACH YEAR IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE WASHING OF TEXTILES. IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE AT LEAST A 30% REDUCTION FOR AT LEAST 50% OF PRODUCTION GIVING A POTENTIAL ANNUAL ENERGY SAVING FOR THE COMMUNITY OF 1.8 MILLION GJ OR AROUND 11.7 MILLION ECU.
THE FIRST, ANALYTICAL PHASE WILL CONSIST OF IDENTIFYING WASHING PROCESSES WHICH ARE THE MOST DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND HAVE THE HIGHEST ENERGY CONSUMPTION. THESE INDUSTRIAL WASHING PROCESSES WILL BE EVALUATED BY MEASURING WATER AND PRODUCT FLOW RATES, ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND CONCENTRATIONS OF WASTE PRODUCTS AND THE WASHING EFFICIENCIES WILL BE CALCULATED. A QUANTITATIVE PROCESS MODEL WILL ALSO BE DEVELOPED ON THE BASIS OF DISTRIBUTION CONSTANTS, AND DIFFUSION AND REACTION RATES.
IN THE SECOND PHASE THE INFORMATION GATHERED WILL BE USED TO ADAPT EXISTING MACHINERY AND PROCESSES OR TO DEVELOP NEW MACHINERY. THE WASHING EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE ADAPTED OR NEW MACHINERY WILL BE DETERMINED.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
