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.
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.

Curie Initial Training Network)
PROJECT FULL TITLE: European Industrial Doctorate on
Solvent Emission Control: A New Approach Towards Recycling
Diluted Waste Gases Into Bio-Energy.
START DATE: 01/09/2013
DURATION: 48 months
TrainonSEC is a project funded by the European
Commission within the Marie Curie European
Industrial Doctorate (EID) programme, involving
four institutions.

About TrainonSEC
WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF
TRAINONSEC?
HOW WILL THIS BE ACHIEVED?
Our objective is to develop an
innovative anaerobic
technology that produces
biogas from these VOC, in
order to recycle diluted waste
into energy.
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.
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.
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.
