Plasma assisted catalysis as a sustainable indoor air purification technology. University of Antwerp
Sustainable storage of grains by implementing a novel protectant and and versatile application technology Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
This European project aims to store grains in a sustainable way with minimal post-harvest losses by preventing insect infestations. NovIGRain aims to (1) develop a new type of plant protection product (PPP) and application technology with special attention for possible resistance, (2) develop a decision-supporting tool for grain storage management, and (3) raise awareness about resistance to plant protection ...

Extracurricular STEAM project on sustainable technology and food systems for (young) people: Stem&Vork Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Through an extracurricular STEAM model of action learning, the STEM&VORK project aimed to reconnect young people and (young) adults with producing and understanding their food through digital and sustainable food systems. STEAM, short for Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics, is an educational approach that uses various access points for guiding student inquiry, ...

Support agreement between the Province of West Flanders and Ghent University with regard to the pilot project 'Electrocoagulation floatation as a central technology for efficient and sustainable water treatment with an emphasis on the removal of silica' i Ghent University
The need to recycle (waste)water becomes highly critical due to depleting water reserves coupled with high water consumption accompanying the rapid population growth, urbanization and industrialization. Water quality and available quantity is therefore considered one of the top challenges of the 21st century. As such, both in China and in Belgium there is the need to develop and implement technologies that focus on water treatment and re-use. ...
Sustainable foundations through in situ recycling with foamed bitumen technology (FOAM) University of Antwerp
PurpleRace: Cost-cutting raceway technology for purple microbiomes, sustainable feed ingredients for healthy fish. University of Antwerp
A new osmotic membrane-microbial electrolysis cell (OMEC) technology for sustainable wastewater treatment, resource recovery, and energy production Ghent University
Global demand for water, food, and energy are projected to grow dramatically in the next decades. Forward osmosis (FO) membrane processes have been emerging as an effective tool for water reuse, resource recovery, and energy harvesting from wastewater. This study aims to develop new technology for simultaneous wastewater treatment/reuse, nutrient recovery, and energy production. A new FO membrane with more beneficial properties compared to ...
