The CIRMET<\/a> Project aims to design, develop and validate an innovative solution, to provide energy and resource flexibility to Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs)<\/strong><\/h6>\n

DIGIMET participates in the CIRMET initiative, led by the Research and Technological Development Centre TECNALIA <\/a>and funded by the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme<\/a>, whose objective is to design, develop and validate an innovative and efficient solution to provide energy and resource flexibility in highly energy intensive processes.<\/p>\n

For this purpose, the CIRMET project is divided into 4 lines of action: 1. EFFIMELT line<\/strong>, focused on resource efficiency and based on DIGIMET technology, a new concept of flexible and modular process unit for industrial waste treatment; 2. RECUWASTE line<\/strong> aimed at heat recovery unit, for flue gas heat recovery and transformation into compressed air to re-use in the same plant, having also the possibility of storing the excess energy; 3. Line<\/strong> AFF40 (Analytic For Factory 4.0)<\/strong>, to improve process plant competitiveness, to increase energy and resource efficiency by controlling and optimizing process units; and 4. GHG emission reduction<\/strong> thanks to the use of biochar<\/strong> as substitution of fossil origin cokes, which will be also tested in EFFIMELT line.<\/p>\n

DIGIMET role in CIRMET is to contribute to the development and innovations implemented in the EFFIMELT line. We develop the activity based on a new concept and innovative metallurgical furnace that is patented, which allows the treatment of industrial wastes containing metals, in a plasma heated molten metal bath recovering all valuable elements, in any of the three resource recovery flows: base metal, inert vitreous fraction and high purity flue dust concentrate.<\/p>\n

Plasma torch heating system allows versatility and accuracy, adjusting process temperature on demand, from 300\u00baC up to 2.000\u00baC.<\/p>\n

The CIRMET consortium consists of 15 partners, including research centres, universities and companies from 6 European countries (Spain, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Poland), such as: ARC<\/a>, CEA Liten<\/a>, Enerbasque<\/a>, Matiena Esta\u00f1os<\/a>, Euragglo<\/a>, Ghent University<\/a>, Cementirossi<\/a>, IZNAB<\/a>, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven<\/a>, Mondragon Goi Eskola Politeknikoa<\/a>, Grupo MSi<\/a>, Sidenor<\/a>, Wireless Value<\/a> and TECNALIA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
