EU has granted the project €50.000 to a feasibility study which intends to check the attractiveness of the innovation to the market, define the opportunities both for the integration of the device in milk vending machines and for further developments, through identification of partners in the dairy industry supply chain; fine tune the business plan already drafted in this application and applying for further funding.
The project intends to explore the feasibility of introducing to the market a small milk steriliser unit based on a patent pending device developing high voltage (>100kV) nanopulsed electric discharge in liquids, to be used mainly by farmers selling directly their fresh dairy products through vending machines.
