Industrial processes account for more than a fourth of Europe’s primary energy consumption and produce a tremendous amount of heat. EU funded research is closing the circle with novel systems that…

The latest records are mind-blowing: up to 50% energy savings and possibly even more. During the last 4,5 years new heat pipe heat exchangers were implemented at three industrial demo-sites: an…

Energy efficiency in kilns and other process stages of ceramics production are quite low and pollutants are currently emitted at unsustainable levels. But as costs for fossil fuels rise and…

Each year industries across Europe allow a valuable source of heat energy to simply escape out their chimneys. An EU-funded project called ETEKINA has reimagined a decades-old technology called heat…

Aluminium is one of the most recycled commodities in the world, but the processes involved in the production of this metal still leave a high environmental impact on the planet. New waste heat…

Presenting the key results of the EU-funded ETEKINA project on the development, construction and comissioning of three prototypes of new heat pipe heat exchangers (HPHE), recovering more than 40% of waste heat streams in energy intensive industries.…

How the heat pipe heat exchangers designed by ETEKINA partners are shaping the waste heat recovery systems of the future. In early February this year, the cost of carbon reached record highs with…

We are excited to announce that the first innovative Heat Pipe Condensing Economiser (HPCE) has been commissioned at our project partner Alufluor AB in Sweden and is running. The aluminium fluoride…

Up until now, ceramic production has had a pretty bad reputation when it comes to environmental issues. But that’s starting to change. Gabriele Frignani is responsible for applied research at SACMI…

Although the world’s industries have tried to transition to more sustainable methods, the annual global extraction of materials has tripled over the last 50 years. In Europe’s ceramics industry has…
