2. INDUS3ES – Industrial Environmental & Energy Efficiency

3. Tecnalia Research & Innovation A significant amount of heat is wasted to the ambient at temperature levels that often are too low for direct reuse in the processes. These waste heat could be re-used when the temperature level is increased. Systems perform this operation are ‘informally’ called HEAT TRANSFORMERS There are actually Absorption Heat Pumps Introduction

4. Tecnalia Research & Innovation Introduction The Sankey Diagram of Energy Used in U.S.A in 2010. 58% of total energy is rejected as waste heat. It’s not irresponsibility. It’s thermodynamics

5. Tecnalia Research & Innovation INDUS3Es project Development and demonstration of an innovative, adaptable, compact and economically competitive absorption heat transformer for recovering and revaluing low-exergy waste heat from industrial processes. This new absorption system will be easily adapted into various industrial process and sources. Oil Barrel Price Evolution (2008 $) – Since 1896 (* Early 80s – 100$/barrel)

6. Tecnalia Research & Innovation low-exergy waste hea Absorption heat transformers will able to recuperate and revalue low-exergy waste heat from industrial processes. Heat transformers The highest potential is where the waste heat and the compatible process are close, and there is acces to a HEAT SINK.. (ambient)

7. Tecnalia Research & Innovation Heat transformers Pros: Heat transformer are thermally driven and they do not consume primary energy: + Lower primary energy use. No moving parts: + More flexible. + Long operational life. + High reliability. + Low maintenance + Silent. Not Pros: Heat Sink is required Performance decreases rapidly when High Temperature Boost is required It’s a VERY INTERESTING Technology…… …..if it fits properly to the process

8. Scientific/Technical goals of the supported area (please provide the 3-4 main goals of your project contributing to this area; if possible, quantify such goals).- Develop & Demonstrate a system able to recover and revalue the Low-Exergy waste heat of an industrial process.- Recover around 50% of Low-Exergy waste energy, saving the same amount of fossil (& high exergy) fuels.- Integrate the system in a suitable process in TUPRAS – Turkish petroleum company.- Identify and evaluate the potential replicability all over Europe.- Design is conceived for a serial manufacturing in the future.

9. Current and Expected impact(s) of the supported area Technological New system and technologies for relevant sectors Patents and activities leading to standardisation Economic/Social Participation and Benefits for SMEs (3 out of 10) BS Nova – Manufacturing Aiguasol – Engineering Services PNO Innovation– Consultancy Services Private investment mobilised in relation to PPP activities Project results taken-up for further investments (into higher TRLs) New high-skilled profiles and new curricula developed

10. Current and Expected impact(s) of the supported area Environmental Contribution to reduction of energy and CO2 emissions. Scale of reduction in energy

11. Technical cross-cutting issues What SPIRE-relevant technical cross-cutting issues are addressed in your project that would increase the overall impact? Thermal processes are cross-cutting themselves. Proposed technology is inherently cross. The project includes two different process industries. The Thermoeconomic approach tries to evaluate in a scientific way the "thermodynamic value” of the waste heat and identify proper business models related with this potentially huge market. Actually energy resources of “high quality” are used for “low quality” heat requirements in any process... And the waste heat of "low quality" could fit perfectly.... ….but not at any price!

12. Non-technical cross-cutting issues What SPIRE-relevant non-technical cross-cutting issues are addressed in your project that would increase the overall impact? - IPR/ Licencing-patents – Specific Committee – (3 RTD Partners with relevant background in the technology approach) - Specific dissemination activities -Business deployment (All the value chain is considered, with 3 SMEs) -Energy Efficiency is usually out of the “core business” of process industries. The value chain includes process industry as a final user, with a potentially huge benefits, but not as a direct exploiter of energy efficiency technologies. This fact should be considered and the proper value chain taken into account to achieve higher impact levels -Skills development - It‘s not easy to include a complex energy technology which requires a high-skilled specific profile. The role of an “Energy Manager” will be more and more relevant for energy intensive process industries, but from an overall perspective. This fact should be taken into consideration also.

13. Synergies and benefits of clustering What cluster activities have you undertaken in the last year / are you planning to undertake? Indus3es will use Clustering Strategy to disseminate the results. Technology under development is useful depending on process characteristics. Thermal path and temperature levels. How have cluster activities added / would add value to your projects? The technology is equally useful in different sectors, different sizes, and different waste heat sources. This will be the main criterium to obtain added value by means of clustering How can cluster activities help exploitation of results after the projects end? This should be made by means of « subprocess » approach. For example, focusing in ‘distillation processes’ instead of refinery industries will be much more relevant for energy technology proposed in this project.
