Bioreactor for stem cells
The device allows you to apply a periodic deformation to a biological construct for growth and cell differentiation. The Bioreactor for stem cells allows automatically to adapt the deformation imposed to maintain a constant effort of the preparation (independent from the biological changes that it u...

Development of electro-chemical technologies (amorphous alloys) for obtaining galvanic finishing layers as protective shields against eletromagnetic influence
The amorphous alloy that is result of the present R&D is filmed on the target surface through electrolysis of a special electrolyte in a chemical reactor under specific conditions (composition of the electrolyte, temperature, density, etc.) - this allows for easy control of the process and the elect...

Fuel characterization of solid biofuels & refuse-derived fuels
CERTH / ISFTA offers a complete range of fuel characterization of solid biofuels and refuse-derived fuels based on the latest European standards arising from Technical Committees CEN 335 and CEN 343 respectively. Thus, end-users can have a thorough understanding of the combustion properties of the f...
Waste cooking oil to biofuels production
The proposed technology allows the exploitation of waste cooking oil (WCO) for the production of biofuels. As WCO is a residual biomass it does not compete with the competition with food crops and sustainability problems. Furthermore, the abundance of WCO in Greece and other Mediterranean countries ...
A promising Rh/La-Ce-Zr catalyst for the production of hydrogen via steam reforming of bio-oil
The synthesis and investigation of Rh catalysts by our group led to the development of highly active and selective materials for steam reforming initially of model compounds of bio-oil like acetic acid and acetone and finally of the real aqueous bio-oil phase. It was proved that the catalyst contai...

Efficient Material for in-situ capture of Carbon Dioxide in Hydrogen production process via methane steam reforming
The scientific result focuses on the development of a CaO-based CO2 sorbent with high sorption capacity and long life-time for high temperature applications, such as SER. The optimum CO2 sorbent was found to be CaO-Ca12Al14O33 (85-15 wt%). The ...

Bromate Determination in Water Using Chlorpromazine after Correction of Chlorinating Agents and Humic Substances Interference
The research team tried to apply the method to natural water samples, but found that the presence of soluble humic substances resulted in positive interference giving high pseudobromate values, thus rendering the method unsuitable for bromate determination in natural water and restricting its use in...
SMARt - CHP (Smart Mobile Agricultural Residue gasification unit for decentralized Combined Heat and Power production): An innovative approach to producing heat and electricity from agricultural residues.
SMARt - CHP introduces an innovative approach of collecting agricultural residues produced locally in rural areas and utilise them in a decentralised CHP, minimizing transportation and logistic costs, while, simultaneously, providing significant fossil fuel substitution and energy independence. The ...
