projects
Membrane filtration studies
We have conducted
- optimization of RO operations
- investigations into NF use in effluent treatment
- development of proprietary FO method (patented)
- research into high pressure (up to 120 bar) membrane filtration.
- Nanofiltration concept study
- Nanofiltration performance investigation for 7 weeks
- High pressure filtration system block (both reverse and forward osmosis capability)
- High pressure (up to 120 bars) membrane filtration test
- Patented FO (forward osmosis) prototype in tests
Recycling wastes into valuable products
We specialize in metal recovery from industrial waste. Sulphidic mining waste materials contains many valuable and critical metals that are highly needed for the green transition.
- Zinc sulphide
- Crystallized double salt (aluminium-ammonium sulfate)
- Precipitated fertilizer (struvite)
- Iron(III) oxide-hydroxide
- Nickel sulphide precipitation in progress
- HPMSM (High purity manganese sulfate monohydrate)
The NEMO Project, piloting our patented method
Near-zero-waste recycling of low-grade sulphidic mining waste for critical-metal, mineral and construction raw-material production in a circular economy. To get to know more details about the NEMO Project and our partners read h2020-nemo.eu
This project is European Union’s EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon 2020 under Grant Agreement No 776846.
During the NEMO Project we have built a moving laboratory which enables demonstrations of proprietary technology on-site for hydrometallurgy industry.
- 5 precipitation stages in sequence
- Laboratory inside a van. Waste gas handling system in the foreground.
- 3D modelled parts
- Sulphide compartments with overhead touchscreens for wireless control and data acquisition
- Hydroxide compartments
- Loading up the 1st reactor stage for precipitation run
- Onborad hydrogen sulphide generator unit for operation below free ADR limit
Legacy projects
Skyscape was established in 2001 in Espoo, Finland. In earlier years we specialized in multidisciplinary engineering.
- computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
- structural analyses (FEM)
- phenomenological modelling
- heuristic geometry optimization (pumps and water propulsion)
- software development for measuring platform.
- CFD simulation around a transonic airplane
- Using contact element model to estimate fatigue performance
- Preventing cavitation on an impeller with the help of time-accurate CFD simulations
- Estimating thermal loads inside a pump
- Investigating explosion in a narrow gap
