 | Seeking a method for controlling the implantation of yeasts during alcoholic fermentation |
|
We are interested in knowing if during the alcoholic fermentation yeasts that are fermenting are the same ones that have been inoculated. The molecular method we use is long, we need 2 days to obtain the yeast colony, 1 day to get enough biomass and finally, 1 day to obtain de mitocondrial DNA and do the electrophoresis to know the result. We would like to go faster in obtaining the yeast and the biomass needed to get the result, especially. |
 | New phase-change materials with enhanced thermal energy storage capacity |
|
A family of compounds with enhanced thermal properties was jointly developed by chemistry and energy engineering researchers. This technology is under further development for obtaining compounds with the same thermal properties but from affordable natural sources i.e. fats and oils, usually considered by-products in the agro-food industry. The University of Lleida seeks industrial partners with expertise in the sector of phase-change materials (PCMs) to adopt a new technology mainly useful for waste heat recovery procedures in the industrial sector. The type of partner sought is for the regulatory development and commercialization of the protected technology under a license agreement. |
 | Adipic acid(s) prepared by catalytic carboxylation of 1,3-butadiene |
|
Adipic acid is mainly used industrially in the production of nylon 6,6. The offered technology consists in a nickel catalyzed process of carboxylation of butadiene. The developed process allows preparing adipic acid from carbon dioxide and 1,3-butadiene through a cost effective and competitive process. Industrial partners are sought for process optimization and/or industrialization. |
| | New tannin-rich extract from vegetal sources for tanning hides and skins |
|
The A3 Chair in Leather Innovation developed an innovative aqueous extraction procedure to obtain a tannin-rich extract from seed grapes. The new extract contains a mixture of tannins and non-tannins which confers an improved antioxidant and light fastness properties. The extract also contains a colouring agent similar to that obtained with the Chestnut Tree extract. The main characteristic is the capacity to precipitate proteins and make them resistant to decomposition, for which reason the extract is useful as tanning agent for hides and skins. |
 | Smartroad Tools - non-destructive sub-road/sub-rail inspection |
|
Railways and highways form a major part of any nation's infrastructure. Their construction and maintenance are high priorities for any country. Together, they represent a 160 trillion dollar worldwide investment. Rail and road are essential to the economy, providing safe and convenient transportation for people and for industrial and agricultural goods. Heurika Geographics has developed an innovative technology to non-destructively monitor the integrity of this infrastructure. It is very lost cost compared to alternatives, so it can be used widely without much impact on construction costs. |
 | Axial-flux switched reluctance machine |
|
The present invention relates to an axial flux switched reluctance machine, comprising at least a stator with poles distributed along a first circumferential path on a plane with electromagnet coils wound on at least some of the stator poles. Partners to further develop the machine and/or to establish commercial agreements along with technical cooperation are sought. |
