Licensing Manager at Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia from Spain · Tarragona

The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia represents one of the very first fruits of the new scientific policy of the government of Catalonia (Spain) aimed at creating new research centres in strategic areas. ICIQ, in particular, has been created with the ambition of becoming a reference for chemistry in the European Research Space. Our society faces important challenges in the XXI century, among which health and environmental concerns are of outmost importance. Chemistry will play an essential role in both of these challenges. To succeed, our increasingly knowledge-based economy will require a solid and strong chemical industry; currently 150.000 jobs in Catalonia (and more than 2 million in the EU) directly arise from the chemical industry. In order for this industry to be successful in the future, it must take a sustainable approach based on the rational use of feed-stocks and raw materials. For this, fundamental chemical research needs to be funded and novel approaches into transforming matter must be developed. We at ICIQ consider that catalysis is the key activity for sustainable chemistry. Catalytic processes can minimize raw materials and energy consumption, and can lead to the selective formation of target products with minimal generation of wastes. In line with this consideration, we have taken catalysis as one of our main research topics. Complementary to our research focus, attention has been paid to the development of a simple and efficient organizational model for ICIQ, able to overcome known difficulties normally associated with larger and more traditional research institutions. The Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia aims at bridging the gap between academic research and industry, focusing its research on catalytic chemical processes for applications in health, energy and sustainability. At ICIQ, we consider that patents are highly efficient, safe and solid tools to provide protection from competitors. This is why we file patents for our in-house developed-technologies: to give our co-development projects with industry a strong starting IP position. As a research centre our goal is always to co-develop our technology adapting it to the industrial partner’s specific needs and ultimately transfer the technology to this company, with a flexible licensing strategy adapted to each case.

AAEC has developed a novel new concept energy technology designed to enable homeowners, businesses, towns, cities and even counties to convert completely to cleaner energy. AAEC is for all those who understand that distributed alternative / renewable energy derived from solar, wind, biomass and waste is a viable pathway to stall global warming and produce a much better future for our descendants, and ultimately for all humanity. AAEC offers a viable and affordable way to move to a future where people are better at controlling global warming. Fossil fuel firms and utilities may at first oppose what AAEC offers, preferring to continue passing on the high costs in cleaning up their operations to their customers, even if far better options are available that would benefit them as well. AAEC management believes we will all do better and be safer in the long run if we can deploy a practical way to power nearly all human activities on extraction of greenhouse gases that have already been emitted into earth’s atmosphere while also cutting back on ongoing greenhouse emissions and begin protecting communities and electric power grids. I’m claiming to be an inventor of one of the “tools” needed to enable humanity to overhaul the power delivery system, in the USA and elsewhere, and help get us out of the box fossil fuels and governmental inaction have humanity bound up in. I propose that we do this through deployment of modern advanced alternative energy projects at residential, community, city and county scale as good paying, infrastructure producing, jobs are needed that protect rather than degrade sustainability. Les Blevins says my small tech energy development firm is seeking support from any and all that may care to support our trickle up distributed energy technology development project. With a small amount of financial support AAEC will enable bringing localized clean low-carbon energy production to the people of the world much as the PC brought computing to the people of the world. Please contact me for more information. Les Blevins President at Advanced Alternative Energy 1207 N 1800 Rd.

All parameters included in the model, except TOC, are easy to measure continuously, in situ. Meanwhile, there are commercial devices that allow continuous measurement of TOC. Unlike the majority of known methods, in the present invention uses data obtained from samples that are available in the distribution network, not the water source. In addition, obtaining the data necessary to achieve adequate precision in the prediction would not result in additional cost and that water services are required to measure them by legislation (Directive 98/83/EC). As an example, the main parameters (TOC, CRC, T, pH, B and C) using the method as explanatory variables must be controlled according to European standards. In practice, this method is implemented in an apparatus or device comprising means for measurement of the variables used for estimation, means for processing the values measured by said device and calculations determined by the method, and data output means providing the prediction of the likelihood of presence of trihalomethanes. Using the method described in the present invention can detect points in the network with difficulties. Once you have evidence of the risk of presence of THMs can be performed and analysis. Al sampling campaigns begin to detect the presence of THMs risk you can take certain measures in the supply system leading to reduction of its presence. By using the proposed method or device may register ahead of trends that allow the real presence of excessive amounts of THMs. This method is primarily focused on the use of water services that manage the network in low, reaching the user, but not the high network, mainly transporting large volumes, or the collection and treatment of water at source. For them it is for the most useful method, allowing them to predict the formation of THMs, before they reach values allowed by law. After that warning, it may take measures to solve the problem at source from the source of water, or water treatment plant.
