Funding awarded for new technology

Deb Group's research and development team has won a funding award for product design to support the cost of a PhD student at Hull University, Deb's partner institution in this technology.

Deb believes the technology could help reduce the amount of water required for cleaning and sanitisation.

Professor Bernard Binks of Hull University said: "Through this award with Deb,we hope to learn how to manipulate the formulation space of our new technology to deliver a range of benefits and active ingredients, as well as to develop scaled-up processing routes to take this innovation to market." The EPSRCfunded Industrial CASE award was made by chemistry innovation, one of 16 Knowledge Transfer Networks.
