LUCRA – electrochemical biosuccinic acid extraction
LUCRA is a Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) funded initiative on a mission to revolutionise biobased chemicals. Ten industrial partners and renowned research centres representing the whole value chain from feedstock to products have joined forces to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of transforming organic waste into bio-succinic acid on a pre-industrial…

E-HYDRO – electrochemical extraction of organic acids from fermentation
HYDROHM and Pureblue Water teamed up in a CrossRoads2 Sustainable Energy project. Together, we developed and tested an electrochemical hydrolysis technology that enables cost-effective and energy-neutral decentralised water treatment. Furthermore, our technology creates the opportunity to upcycle the organic stream through fermentation, which can result in the production of valuable products such as bioplastics.

Ammonia recovery and regeneration of scrubbing acid
Ammonia removal is increasingly replaced by recovery. Recovery allows reuse and value creation in a local circular economy and does not result in release of N2O as a potent greenhouse gas. In the state of the art, ammonia is released from the waste (stripping) and captured in liquid (scrubbing). The liquid is a strong acid…
