Research project ProDeNiSE

ProDeNiSE

Project name	Detection of Nickel Sulphide inclusions during flat glass processing
Acronym	ProDeNiSE
Project partner	TU Darmstadt, Institut für Statik und Konstruktion Viprotron GmbH HEGLA GmbH & Co. KG HEGLA boraident GmbH & Co.KG AGC f I glassGmbH BGT Bischoff Glastechnik AG
Grantor	German Ministry of Economy and Energy, Program: Application-oriented non-nuclear research and development, 7th energy research program of the federal government
Duration	01.04.2020-31.03.2025
Research Field	I+I & E+E // M&M (E+E > Energy + Environment, I+I > Information + Intelligence M+M > Matter + Materials)
Project content	Nickel Sulphide in safety glass can lead to spontaneous fractures which impair the safety of these glass products. The current process for reducing the risk posed by these inclusions is to be replaced by a new automated detection process for reasons of energy efficiency.
