Descripción del proyecto
Nueva tecnología de calentamiento eficiente en materia de energía para la materia prima granular
La amenaza del cambio climático ha inspirado a los líderes de la industria a utilizar e integrar tecnologías más ecológicas en sus fabricaciones para disminuir el efecto del cambio climático. El proyecto DESTINY, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo ofrecer una solución de este tipo en forma de una tecnología novedosa para el procesamiento constante de materiales que podría aplicarse en industrias que consumen mucha energía. Esta tecnología utilizará energía de microondas para reducir el consumo energético y los costes de producción e implementación y ofrecerá una opción más ecológica para calentar materia prima granular. El sistema DESTINY adoptará la forma de hornos celulares, lo que permitirá la movilidad y la modularidad.
Objetivo
The DESTINY project aims to realize a functional, green and energy saving, scalable and replicable solution, employing microwave energy for continuous material processing in energy intensive industries. The target is to develop and demonstrate a new concept of firing granular feedstock for materials transformation using full microwave heating as alternative and complement to the existing conventional production.
The DESTINY system is conceived as cellular kilns in mobile modular plant, with significant advantages in terms of resource and energy efficiency, flexibility, replicability and scalability with reduced environmental footprint.
The DESTINY concept will be proved in a demo site located in Spain, covering high energy demanding sectors of strategic interest as Ceramic (Pigments), Cement (Calcined clay) and Steel (Sinter, Iron Pellets/DRI, ZnO), to validate the critical parameters of the developed technology in relevant environment (TRL 6). It will be implemented with 2 feeding modules and 1 mobile microwave kiln module and product treatment.
Influence of the DESTINY solutions in terms of stability, process efficiency and characteristics of raw materials, intermediate/sub/final products will be investigated to improve performance of the industrial processes addressed and guarantee the required quality of products. Numerical simulation tools will be used to drive the design and support the testing activities
The industrialization and sustainability of DESTINY high temperature microwave technology will be assessed through the evaluation of relevant KPIs, with Life Cycle Methodologies. With the final aim of ensuring a large exploitation and market penetration for DESTINY, technology-based solutions business model, economic viability and replicability analysis will be conducted. For guaranteeing industrial transferability appropriate exploitation and dissemination activities have been defined during and even after the end of the project.
