Research projects overview

Research projects are a central pillar alongside teaching at the university. Research ensures that teaching is always brought up to date. As a university of applied sciences, Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences places particular emphasis on practice-oriented research. This is best achieved in cooperation with industry and ensures that both benefit from the new findings.

100MWEL

Systematic identification and naming of possible 100 MW electrolyser sites in the Bremerhaven urban area. In addition to the structural transmission capacity of the electrical distribution and transmission networks, the local application of hydrogen was also included in the site selection.

ALBINA

The overall objective of the project was the substitution of mineral oil-based lubricant additives with microalgae-based compounds. The project aimed at identifying ingredients from microalgae, and further on proofing and demonstrating their potential for the use as lubricant additives in machining applications.

Algen-EPA

Together with the companies Roval GmbH and Henry Lamotte Oils, a process chain for the extraction of the omega-3 fatty acid EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) from microalgae is to be developed. To this end, promising microalgae species are being investigated at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences and tested in large-scale production at the project partner Roval GmbH. After selecting and optimizing the algae production, EPA will be extracted and a marketable product developed.

ALGROW

Microalgae as a biocatalyst for waste gas from tile production in Bremerhaven and development of a gentle drying process for the algae biomass using waste heat.

Aptamer-based flow cytometer analysis for the detection of Legionella in drinking and process water

AptaFlow

Aptamer-based flow cytometer analysis for the detection of Legionella in drinking and process water - This project aims to develop a rapid detection system for bacterial analysis in drinking and process water. The detection methodology to be developed represents a combination of enrichment and binding using nucleic acid-based reagents (aptamers) and fluorescence optical detection using flow cytometry.

AQUACOMBINE

How to solve one of the most important challenges of the 21st century, by meeting the world's demand for sustainably produced biomass, for food, biochemicals or active ingredients for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals? One answer is to integrate aquaponic fish farms, salt tolerant Salicornia plants and an innovative biorefinery

BBNELobby

The BBNE Lobby project strengthens the strategic integration of Education for Sustainable Development in the vocational education system. It connects key stakeholders and supports structures for a sustainable vocational education.

Bremen Logistics Transfer and Innovation Culture.

BreLogIK

The logistics sector is one of the most important drivers of Bremen's economy. The BreLogIK project aims to exploit previously untapped innovation potential in close cooperation between Bremen science and the logistics industry.

Development of a balast water hygienization system for ships

SafeBallastWater

Development of a gel stick for on-site control of the biological safety of the hygienized ballast water before discharge. Development of a new, time-efficient concentration method for bacteria for subsequent analysis by PCR.

Development of a quorum sensing based on-site detection system for the detection of L. monocytogenes in matrix milk.

QS-Listeria

Development of the biochemical coupling procedures for antibody immobilization as well as QS bacteria on the innovative lateral flow designed for 25 ml. Determination of the optimal reaction conditions for the detection of 1 CFU L. monocytogenes.

Flavor

An addition of e.g. blood plasma < 2% must be labeled as an ingredient in the list of ingredients under food law. A proportion > 2% must be named as a meat substitute, stating the product name. The present project idea is therefore intended to provide a new and specific analysis method for foreign protein additives in meat and sausage products, whereby the mass spectrometric detection of foreign protein-specific marker peptides is to be carried out using LC-MS/MS

FLEXI-GREEN FUELS

The production of the next generation of biofuels from biomass residues is the goal of this collaborative project with 13 partners from 4 EU countries. It focuses on jet-fuels for aviation and bunker oil for marine vessels. Various conversion processes are under investigation.
