from working with a reliable, virtually wear-free system, no dust at
transfers, better working conditions for the workforce, and less wear
and tear on the belt, rollers and the entire system. Added to this is a
plus in energy efficiency.
With the flare-up of the coronavirus restrictions, ScrapeTec has
accelerated its previously planned remote work. This segment offers, for
example, webinars or video conferences, in which problem cases can
be presented on site with a camera and discussed with ScrapeTec’s
experts. This saves time and costs in the run-up to the implementation,
without compromising the real objective of a successful installation.
The references of ScrapeTec Trading GmbH include medium-sized
companies as well as names such as RWE, K+S, thyssenkrupp or
Saint Gobain. The AirScrape is now used worldwide at belt transfer
points, demonstrating its efficiency even under difficult climate
conditions.
TCMA R&D Institute outlines ‘Project Mof4AIR’
Today’s cement industry is constantly innovating to help achieve
its emissions reduction targets and is willing and able to provide
policy-makers with advice on how to develop and build a sustainable
society. Therefore, lots of R&D institutes have already implemented
major efficiency improvements like reducing GHG (greenhouse gases)
substantially.
Power supply and carbon-intensive industries (e.g. cement, steel and
petrochemical industries) account for a large share of CO 2 emissions.
Besides the limitation of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, carbon capture
is a key technology that has the potential to decrease carbon emissions
in these sectors by giving another life to CO2 through utilisation or
storage. MOF4AIR is a Horizon 2020 project gathering 14 partners
from eight countries, including the TCMA R&D Institute as a partner,
to develop and demonstrate the performances of Metal Organic
Framework (MOF)-based CO2 capture technologies in power plants
and energy intensive industries.
As mentioned, the TCMA R&D Institute took on a role as a partner
on 1 July 2019 for the MOF4AIR project, funded by EU Horizon
2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement
