Metals can be recycled over and over again without losing their properties, which is not only good news for the circular economy, but also a big business. The global metal recycling sector, estimated to be worth €250 billion, is growing at an unprecedented rate and the opportunities are limitless.
In order to meet this incessant demand, European metal production factories need to undertake retrofitting works by implementing appropriate sensors for scrap analysis and furnace operation.
The EU-funded REVaMP project has developed, adapted and implemented new retrofitting technologies to address the increasing feedstock variability. The project’s findings have contributed to improving the selection of raw materials in terms of energy and material efficiency.
New technologies to optimize the recovery of metallic materials.
The European REVaMP project aims to demonstrate technological solutions to update equipment in the steel production and aluminum and lead recovery industry in order to improve the adaptation of furnaces to metallic loads and alternative fuels of variable composition, contributing to the Energy and resource efficiency in the metallurgical industry.
Within the AZTERLAN project, together with the companies REFIAL and GHI Hornos Industriales, it will develop a use case for improving energy efficiency. Likewise, the Technology Center will develop Software as a Service that will integrate predictive control models and decision tools for monitoring, control and optimized management of steel, aluminum and lead processes in the industrial plants of SIDENOR, GRUPAL ART, REFIAL and EXIDE.
