Research activities in the field of Sanitary and Environmental Engineering:
Main research topic: Waste management in the boat building sector. Characterization of the industrial
waste generation from the building of composite material-based boats and of some chemical-physical
properties of the representative types of boat building residues. Principal Project: “GeRISNaM” founded
by Marche Region (Italy), under specific Deliberation “DDS No. 40/S11, 17/06/2009, Distretto del Mare”.
Other research topics:
1) Biomethane Potential (BMP) tests on agro-industrial wastes. Principal project: “Filiera della
bioenergia: potenziale di biometanazione da biomasse peculiari in territorio di Pesaro-Urbino”,
founded by “Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Pesaro (FCRP)”, following the announcement for
the Funding to Research (D.R. 257/2012);
2) Performance evaluation of some innovative waste collection systems implemented at local scale.
