Short description:
Low-grade heat waste (-70 °C) is often widely present in several ENERGY INTENSIVE INDUSTRIES, however it can be hardly valorised using conventional technologies (e.g. Organic Ranking Cycles). Conversely, some innovative technologies (Waste Heat Recovery System-WHRS) are emerging and can provide further energy improvement and CO2 savings.
The overall objective of HEATLEAP is to implement a number of technologies suitable for different EII (Energy Intensive Industries), to test them in a real-scale industrial environment and demonstrate their environmental and economic benefits.
Key objectives (in bullets)
The overall objective is to implement the following three innovative technologies suitable for different energy-intensive industries, to test them in a full-scale industrial environment and demonstrate their environmental and economic benefits:
