The only ceramic membranes of which results are published, are tubular microporous silica membranes provided by ECN (Petten, The Netherlands).[10] The membrane consists of several support layers of a- and y-alumina, and the selective top layer at the outer wall of the tube is made of amorphous silica (Figure 4.10).[24] The pore size lies between 0.5 and 0.8 nm. The membranes were used in homogeneous catalysis in supercritical carbon dioxide (see paragraph 4.6.1). No details about solvent and temperature influences are given but it is expected that these are less important than in the case of polymeric membranes. 

A good image for compost can be built up with assured quality and a quality label. Germany, Denmark, the Netherland, and Belgium have developed a composting system which is very important for the quality assurance. Elements of the quality assurance system are quality assurance of European composting and digestion plants (in ECN 2008) ...

The publicly-funded fuel cell research program started in 1985, with the main activities performed at the Energy research Centre ofthe Netherlands (ECN). Between 1985 and 2001, about 100 million was invested by mixed public-private funds in the development of fuel cell and hydrogen energy. The objectives ofthe Dutch fuel cell programs were initially oriented to the application of coal gas in MCFC based systems. The MCFC activities were terminated in 2001, after an evaluation failed to indicate its commercial viability with natural gas. Afterwards, the activities shifted to SOFC and PEM technology for high efficient conversion of natural gas in small-scale decentralised units.

Some efforts have already been made to develop ceramic pervaporation membranes, especially silica and zeolite membranes, which are both hydrophilic membranes. Silica pervaporation membranes have been developed by ECN, The Netherlands. The membranes were tested in a pilot installation of 1 m2 membrane surface at Akzo Nobel and other companies in the Netherlands [34, 35]. 

The Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN) developed a catalytic system for N2O removal from the tail gases of a nitric acid plant. The technology can be used both upstream of the expander (where the temperature is 250 - 500°C and pressure is 4 to 12 bara) and downstream the expander (atmospheric pressure, temperature 100 to 200°C)221.
