Objectif Fouling, as defined in this project, is the presence of unintended and unwanted deposits on the inside walls of industrial plant such as pipes, storage vessels, reactor vessels etc. Its occurrence is widespread though all industries, particularly oil and petrochemical pipelines, petrochemical plant, other chemical plant, pharmaceutical production, food processing as well as in plumbing systems throughout the domestic and industrial sector. Fouling shortens the plant life, increases the need for periodic cleaning and pipe replacement. It also causes contamination of the end products which is especially serious when the fouling involves bacterial biofilms and the products are intended for direct human consumption. In addition pipe blockages, deformation, rupture or corrosion cause by a build up of fouling can lead to major incidents such as explosions involving with threats to human life and plant destruction involving loss of product and jobs. In domestic pipes fouling causes taps and valves to seize up and leaks to occur which leads to expensive plumbing costs in replacement parts, high labour costs, expensive repairs from flood damage and disruption to domestic life. ULTRACLEANPIPE offers a novel solution to the general problem of identifying and then removing fouling in industrial plant as well as domestic plumbing. The system prototype will be designed for application to small bore pipes that arise in the food processing and pharmaceuticals production industry as well as in plumbing systems. This focus is taken because (i) small bore pipes are obviously much more prone to than large ones and (ii) contamination of products intended for human consumption is a problem of the highest order. However it is important to emphasise that the ULTRACLEANPIPE principle can be applied to all kinds of fouling in all industry by the use of a range of ultrasonic probe designs and operating frequencies Champ scientifique medical and health sciencesbasic medicinepharmacology and pharmacypharmaceutical drugs Programme(s) FP7-SME - Specific Programme "Capacities": Research for the benefit of SMEs Thème(s) SME-1 - Research for SMEs Appel à propositions FP7-SME-2010-1 Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Régime de financement BSG-SME - Research for SMEs Coordinateur BRUNEL UNIVERSITY LONDON Contribution de l’UE € 75 000,00 Adresse KINGSTON LANE UB8 3PH Uxbridge Royaume-Uni Voir sur la carte Région London Outer London — West and North West Harrow and Hillingdon Type d’activité Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Contact administratif Deana Thomas (Ms.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée Participants (6) Trier par ordre alphabétique Trier par contribution de l’UE Tout développer Tout réduire TECNITEST INGENIEROS SL Espagne Contribution de l’UE € 442 125,00 Adresse Calle Ciudad de Frias 1-Nave 4 28021 MADRID Voir sur la carte Région Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Diego Florez (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée Ocean Team Scandinavia A/S Danemark Contribution de l’UE € 243 250,00 Adresse Vesterhavsgade 56 6700 Esbjerg Voir sur la carte Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Jens Peter Høg Thomsen (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE LIMITED - INNOTECUK Royaume-Uni Contribution de l’UE € 291 875,00 Adresse HILDERSHAM ROAD NORTH WING THE OLD LIVERY CB21 6DR CAMBRIDGE Voir sur la carte Région East of England East Anglia Cambridgeshire CC Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Contact administratif Harvinder Johal (Mr.) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Coût total Aucune donnée H.J.
