Podcast on innovative technologies and sustainable process technology

Listen to our podcast series called BEAP, hosted by our own Nathan Bowden. In this series Nathan highlights collaborations between the Dutch process industry and innovative SMEs who are creating technologies for a sustainable tomorrow.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Netherlands are very good in developing technologies that can drastically lower the energy use of industrial processes. In a project called BEAP – Bundled Early Adapter Projects, ISPT is working alongside SMEs to make sure their technologies suite the specific needs of Dutch industrial partners. In this podcast series you hear 4 of their stories.

In this second episode, Nathan Bowden talks with Jan Henk Hanemaaijer (i3 Innovative Technologies) and Patrick de Wit (EMI Twente) on working together on an energy saving membrane distillation technology for industrial process water.

Episode 3 – Making circular office furniture

In this episode, Nathan Bowden talks with Martijn Vinke (Triboo) on how he contributes to establish a circular economy by creating office furniture from upcycled office cast-offs.
