Technologies

Related to the reactor:

• A new smart kiln cell system concept for ultrafast industrial firing production.
• Cool kiln with no-thermal inertia and with flexibility of production with no loss in process performance or energetic efficiency (from 10 to 100% of their capacity).
• New compacted modules consisting of closed system of feeding, thermal transformation and storage.
• Smart reactor systems adapted to different raw materials treatment (fluidised/rotary design).
• Easily integrable on current industrial sites by using advanced manufacturing process.
• A multilevel adaptive heating control system for reactors fully integrated.
• A system useful for both upstream and downstream industrial processes.

Related to microwave technology:

• A new concept of electromagnetic field distribution suitable to heat low and very low susceptible dielectric materials.
• A new concept of microwave applicator able to heat on continuous flow poorly absorbent dielectric materials that increase their properties with temperature.
• Enabling the use of a high electrical field power application on dielectric materials avoiding runaway and gas ionizing.

Related to the microwave concept application:

• A new heat supply (by microwave) and reduction process of ceramic materials.
• Modular and containerised application for fast track industrial implementation.
• New ceramics for microwave processing under extreme thermal-mechanical-dielectric conditions, keeping the best performance on both technical and economic aspects.

Related to the industrial use:

• Adapted to demand (switch and go, production on-demand), flexible production (from 10 to 100%), modular (reliable and replicable array of microwave kiln cells).
• Production on site of demand.
• A new production process for eco-products more efficient and sustainable than current processes.
• Recycling of residues and by-products.
• Products (not existing nowadays) with new properties based on the heating production process.
• Micro-plant for the development of new or tailored special products.

Related to monitoring and control:

• Soft-sensors for material temperature and emission targeted to control within the system.
• Multilevel control system for the system.
• Control at whole system level specialised to match the high flexibility of the new technology with the demands of renewable electricity grids.
