Description du projet
Nouvelle technologie de cuisson économe en énergie pour les matières premières granulaires
La menace que constitue le changement climatique a incité les leaders de l’industrie à utiliser et à intégrer des solutions plus écologiques dans leur fabrication afin de diminuer l’impact de celui-ci. Le projet DESTINY, financé par l’UE, a pour ambition de fournir une telle solution sous la forme d’une nouvelle technologie de traitement constant des matériaux susceptible d’être appliquée dans les industries à forte consommation d’énergie. Cette technologie utilisera l’énergie des micro-ondes pour réduire la consommation d’énergie, les coûts de production et de mise en œuvre et offrir une option plus écologique pour la cuisson des matières premières granulaires. Le système DESTINY se présentera sous la forme de fours cellulaires, mobiles et modulables.
Objectif
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.
