After 52 months of hard work the BIONICO project has finally ended.
BIONICO consortium built one of the world largest membrane reactor unit for biogas-to-hydrogen conversion and tested it for several days at ICI’s facilities, verifying the capability of the system to produce nearly pure hydrogen.
BIONICO has been a very important project for the development of Membrane Reactors The experience gained in this years is of inestimable value for further developing the technologies related to membrane reactors. The results of BIONICO have been used as bases for the further scale up of the project at higher TRL levels: this year two large projects on membranes and membrane reactors have been granted INNOMEM and MACBETH.
