TrainonSEC
aims
at
finding
environmentally friendly solutions for
industrial processes related to solvent
use, reducing waste emission while
decreasing energy demand through the
production and use of renewable
resources.
European Industrial
Doctorate on Solvent
Emission Control
A New Approach Toward
Recycling Waste Gas Into
Bioenergy
For this purpose, TrainonSEC will change
the current assumptions and paradigms in
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
emission control by looking at VOCs
emission as a waste stream that has
considerable potential for conversion into
bio-energy.

About TrainonSEC
HOW WILL THIS BE ACHIEVED?
WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF TRAINONSEC?
Our objective is to develop an innovative
anaerobic technology that produces biogas
from these VOC, in order to recycle diluted
waste into energy.
This novel bioprocess will allow industries
to:
 comply with the European solvent
emission directive,
 generate up to 50% of the total energy
demand for the production facility,
therefore
reducing
fossil
fuel
consumption.
A joint collaboration between:
 academia (University of Valencia)
 and industry (Pure Air Solutions)
is our proposed approach to face the
challenges related to innovation in the
control of industrial air emissions, resulting
in the TrainonSEC project.
TrainonSEC offers to four early stage
researchers (ESRs) the opportunity to
receive research training through four
Individual Projects, each covering an
important aspect of the objective.
The shared research training between the
participants, including complementary
training by targeted secondments at
associated partners, is giving the ESRs a
fundamental understanding of this clean
biotechnology and a practical understanding
of the limitations and opportunities
associated with the exploitation of a new
technology.
