Ressourceneffizienzssteigerung durch experimentelle Optimierung der Dampfbereitstellung und durch Reduktion der Produktionsabfälle in einem metallverarbeitenden Betrieb.

Das Projekt baut auf den Ergebnissen des laufenden Projekts "Abwärmenutzung und Einsatz erneuerbarer Energieträger in einem metallverarbeitenden Betrieb" auf. In diesem Projekt wurde bislang unter Anderem festgestellt, dass fast die Hälfte des Erdgaseinsatzes zur Dampferzeugung aufgewendet wird. Auf Basis bereits durchgeführter Berechnungen soll experimentell untersucht werden, inwieweit sich die Energieeffizienz durch Absenken der Dampftemperatur und durch teilweisen Ersatz des Dampfes durch Heißwasser steigern lässt. Eine weitere Steigerung der Energieeffizienz soll dadurch erreicht werden, dass betriebsinternes Abfallmaterial als zusätzlicher Brennstoff in einer Festbrennstofffeuerung verwertet wird.

Erhebung der Nutzeranforderungen und technische Bewertung des Umsetzungspotentials von ausgewählten Leichtbauprodukten basierend auf nachwachsenden Rohstoffen durch Einbeziehung aller Akteure (Produzenten - Weiterverarbeiter - Handel - Konsumenten) der Wertschöpfungsketten im Möbel- und Innenausbau.

Grüne Bioraffinerie - Entwicklung von Schlüssel-Trenntechnologien zur Gewinnung von Milchsäure und anderen Wertsubstanzen aus Silagesäften

Die Nanofiltration stellt ein potentielles Trennverfahren zur Gewinnung von Wertstoffen (Aminosäuren, Milchsäure, usw.) aus Silagesaft (Saft aus gepresster silierter Wiesengrünmasse) dar. Sie kann als Vorfiltrationsschritt, zur (selektiven) Isolierung und Konzentrierung von Substanzen, sowie zur Teilentsalzung eingesetzt werden. Diese Prozessmöglichkeiten wurden im Labormaßstab untersucht und teilweise bis zum Pilotmaßstab entwickelt. Darüber hinaus wurden, unter Einbeziehung weiterer Trennverfahren, technologische und wirtschaftliche Gesamtstrategien zur Gewinnung von Aminosäuren und Milchsäure aus Silagesaft diskutiert und bewertet.

Stroh-Cert: certification, logistic and quality management for straw bale buildings

Certification of straw bales as insulating material, development of a straw bale logistic concept and a quality management system as strategic measures with the aim of the dissemination of straw bales as insulating material

Innovative moth-protection system for sheepwool insulation

This project developed a novel "bio-pesticide"-formula by screening plant extracts and minerals for their strong repellant activity in order to protect sheepwool insulation from cloth moth infestation. It was investigated and examined by state-of-the-art-technology that the anti-moth-mixture extracted from plants and minerals, acts as a valid alternative to existing pest control agents.

LifeCycle Tower - Energy efficient prefabricated multi-storey timber houses

Based on the results of previous research projects, the project at hand deals with the development of a wooden prefabricated module construction for energy efficient office buildings with up to 20 storeys. This sustainable system ensures cost certainty through the whole life cycle of the building.

Innovative Use of Renewable Resources demonstrated by means of an Office and Exhibition Building

Recovery of biomolecules from condensates of process gases during thermal refinement of wood for the development of new wood products.

The exhaust vapors of the process of refinement of wood are not longer seen as industrial waste but a starting point for added value from products used in the timber industry, which represents a new approach for sustainable utilisation of wood.

Increasing of the resources-efficiency by experimental optimisation of steam production and by reduction of production residues in a metal-processing factory

The project is based on the results of the currently running project "Use of waste heat and renewable energy sources in a metal-processing factory". In this project it was found, that nearly the half of the consumption of natural gas is needed for steam production. Based on calculations already carried out, it is planned to investigate experimentally the possibilities of increasing the resource-efficiency by lowering the steam temperature and by replacing steam by hot water. Further increasing of resource-efficiency shall be achieved by use of internal residues as an additional fuel in a solid fuel furnace.

Green Biorefinery - Primary Processing and Utilization of Fibres from Green Biomass

Tests on optimisation of the essential process unit mechanical fractionation of the primary raw material "green biomass" into a liquid and a solid - fibres containing - fraction. Furthermore, lab and pilot scale tests with respect to technologies and processes for primary processing of the solid fraction (e.g. technologies for obtaining specified well defined fibre fractions, reduction of odour etc.). Finally, lab and pilot scale tests regarding manufacturing of prototype fibre products (fibreboards and adhesives & fillers for the construction sector) based on specific well defined fibre fractions from green biomass as primary raw material.

Assessment of user requirements and technical feasibility of lightweight applications based on renewables

Assessment of user requirements was studied. Furthermore, the technical feasibility of se-lected lightweight applications based on renewables in the furniture and interior design sector is investigated through involvement of all relevant stakeholders (panel manufacturers - further processing enterprises - distributors - consumers) in the value chain.
