Water & energy reuse: from waste to resource

Over recent years, the EU has emphasized collaboration between industries and academia to create eco-friendly and profitable products, focusing on transforming industrial waste into valuable resources. Alufluor, a Swedish chemical company, produces aluminium fluoride and has partnered with the EU-funded iWAYS project to address its environmental challenges. The iWAYS initiative aims to reduce emissions, recycle materials, heat, and water. Through this collaboration, Alufluor intends to conserve about one-third of its water waste and decrease its biogas usage by 20%. The core technology introduced by iWAYS, the heat pipe condensing economiser (HPCE), facilitates heat, water, and material recovery. Alufluor is also implementing an integrated water treatment system to save approximately 60,000 m3/year of drinking water. The iWAYS project's innovations benefit various industries, ensuring sustainability without compromising economic growth.
