The project aims to develop low emission anti-corrosion and anti-fouling coatings for undersea environments. It is funded by SPRI, EVE, SWEA, CDTI y FCT by means of OCEANERA-NET (European Ocean Energy Research Network) under the reference OCEANERA/0005/2014.oceaneranet.eu.
The Metallurgy Research Center has also moderated the symposium dedicated to foundry processes of metallic materials within this same framework.
Framed within the "European Sustainable Energy Week 2018", this outstanding working frame has allowed to share advanced strategies in energy efficiency within the metal-mechanical industry, related to the recovery of waste heat, geothermal energy and valorisation of industrial waste for energy applications.
In addition to the mapping of the slag streams from steelworks, the tool created within this challenging project facilitates the direct contact between the potential offer and demand of these kind of materials.
This technical event will be held next June 28th in the facilities of IK4-AZTERLAN Metallurgy Research Center. It will gather international experts from both, industry and research sectors.
