Automated wastewater management system
Wastewater often shows high concentrations of pollutants: nitrates, ammonia, nitrogen, phosphor. In order for wastewater to be reused, such compounds must be removed. The patented system allows an efficient, low-cost, automated control of the processes for a complete nitrogen removal, also ensuring energy savings through a simplified and more efficient...
ArgiNaRe: solutions for environmental remediation
Multifunctional hybrid material based on natural clays for environmental recovery and bioremediation (ArgiNaRe). ArgiNaRe products are able to adsorb environmental pollutants such as heavy metals, solvents and non-volatile organic substances, microparticulate and microplastics, but in particular they absorb and induce the degradation of hydrocarbons from matrices such as water, air...
Controlling the fuel injection in a diesel engine
The invention relates to the Common Rail (CR) injection system for Diesel engines and proposes a device for measuring the instantaneous mass flow-rate in a high pressure liquid flow. A mass based feedback control logic is also proposed to guarantee the control on the quantity of fuel that is actually...
