HPHE and greener furnaces: a combo that can make emissions plunge in the aluminium industry
Insertec is a leading manufacturer of industrial furnaces based in the Spanish province of Biscay. It is a crucial partner in one of the three case studies where ETEKINA is testing a new range of heat pipe heat exchangers. The combination of HPHE and adjustments in furnaces to increase their energy efficiency will help the aluminium industry improve its carbon footprint around the world. The demand to reduce the carbon footprint in these processes is not the same in every single continent. There are increasing requirements from the European Union to make the industry greener. And, of course, there are at least at least five large EU customers with worldwide operations asking for improvements in equipment to make it cleaner. And how can furnaces help reduce the total carbon footprint. And how can the industry reduce emissions in a factory reduce thetotal carbon footprint? And it has become a marketing issue and sales argument: If you are able to reduce this. to make it greener furnaces.
