The available database comprises research projects in Fisheries, Aquaculture, Seafood Processing and Marine Biotechnology active in the time period 2003-2022.
BlueBio is an ERA-NET COFUND created to directly identify new and improve existing ways of bringing bio-based products and services to the market and find new ways of creating value from in the blue bioeconomy.

The NYMPH project addresses the topic "Manufacturing technologies for environmental and energy applications". The project starts from TRL 3 and will develop up to TRL 5 two types of membranes, one nanofiltration inorganic membrane developed at IMNR by hydrothermal functionalization of commercial CNTswith ZnO nanoparticles followed by extrusion and the second polymeric one, at SINTEF, by antifouling surface modification of commercial membranes, via UV and chemical grafting hydrophilization treatment. The novel membranes will be used for water treatment, having excellent antifouling properties and separation performances (50% reduction flux decline in time and >20% increase in permeability) and separation and purification of plant extracts (polyphenols), increasing the separation efficiency (>20% reduction flux decline in time and >20% increase in permeability). A small pilot equipment will be used to test both membranes on the site of industrial partners: for water recirculation systems in aquaculture for fishfarms (Akvafresh, NO) and recirculation of organic solvents after vegetable oils extraction for pharma (Global Res. srl, RO, replacing actual electro-deionization filtering).
