SUSTAINABLE PROCESS INDUSTRY SPIRE Brokerage event December 16th 2013 SUSTAINABLE PROCESS INDUSTRY EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL COMPETTIVENESS TROUGH Resource and energy efficiency Biomass heating for Dryer in the bricks and tiles production
today the world's largest producer of bricks and No today the world's largest producer of bricks and No. 1 on the clay roof tiles market in Europe, with 215 plants in 30 countries EUR 2,355.5 mio revenues and 13,060 employees in 2012 Our project idea applies for: SPIRE 2 – 2014: Adaptable industrial processes allowing the use of renewables as flexible feedstock for chemical and energy applications
Standard production process for Bricks & Tiles
Substitution of fossil fuel with biomass up to 30% reduction of CO2 lower specific energy consumption [kWh/to fired product] fossil fuel only used for high temperature processes, where substitution is very difficult bolt on technology – exiting plants remain widely unchanged adaptable for all bricks & tiles plants key technology for further use of low temperature energy sources e.g. solar heating, industrial waste heat, district heating, etc. strengthen local economy building with a clear conscience
Looking for partners… in the fields of: biomass firing and heat generation heat transfer systems energy management systems integrated process control systems dissemination
