Launch of the project MEASURED
In January 2023, we launched the MEASURED (Membrane Scale Up for Chemical Industries) project, funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The consortium MEASURED is composed of 17 partners from 7 different European countries (ES, IT, DE, NL, SI, SE and FR). The partners, including the National Institute of Chemistry, were selected based on their excellence in a particular industrial or research area.
The goal of the project is to develop and demonstrate advanced membrane materials for pervaporation (PV), membrane distillation (MD), and gas separation (GS) technologies used in acrylic ester production, membrane production, and gas separation from carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) streams. The main objective of MEASURED is to achieve a quantum leap in the development of membrane technologies for pervaporation, gas separation and membrane distillation and to lay the foundations for the future commercialization of more environmentally friendly technologies throughout the value chain.
At the end of the project, MEASURED 's integrated technologies will reach TRL7 level within 20,000 operating hours under (industrial) operating conditions. The MEASURED project integrates thorough multi-level modelling and simulation techniques, including full life cycle assessment, and addresses societal impacts to increase market adoption and promote market readiness.
The Institute of Chemistry is responsible for the modelling in this project due to its experience with membrane reactor systems.
