KeelWit analyzes energy consumption improvement possibilities at a municipal solid waste plant
KeelWit has commenced a study of the entire process of collection, waste handling, separation and final energy generation at Municipal Solid Waste Facility, given that the industry has a major component of thermal energy in its process. Recycling processes involve high temperatures and a complex heat recovery system, ash management and combustion control, due to the heterogeneous nature of municipal solid waste. Any process in which high temperatures are reached and large volumes of materials are involved is usually susceptible to energy consumption improvements, better use of residual heat, performance enhancements and a new set point definition of its KPIs. These improvements can be achieved by changes in production volumes (downwards or upwards) that, over the years, have displaced actual operating conditions from initial set points. All ovens, Heat Recovery System Generators, turbines, absorbers, filters, catalytic tanks and chimneys are a perfect environment for applying the KeelWit Energy Methodology of Optimization...

KeelWit concludes project on energy efficiency improvements in an industrial plant
KeelWit has concluded a project designed to improve energy efficiency at a chemical plant, through several changes made to the main processes of the plant. After a comprehensive analysis of its pirotubular boilers, thermo compressors/ejectors and condensers, areas of improvement were identified and evaluated, priorities established and suppliers selected for the implementation of the enhancement plan. The final project results will bring a substantial reduction in vapour, gas and power consumption and a Return On Investment within less than 1...

JM Cancer is interviewed in www.idealista.com concerning the Energy Certificate granted to an outstanding property
The interview, with more than 43,000 visits and hosted on a leading real-estate sector website, focuses on the unique features of the solutions applied in a luxury house in La Moraleja area (Madrid) that enabled it to obtain the best energy efficiency grade available: “A”. In fact, amongst all the Energy Efficiency Certificates registered in Madrid,only 0.2% obtain an “A” grade, 0.8% achieve a “B”, 4% a “C”, 14.5 % a “D”, 48.3% an “E”, 13% an “F” and, finally, 19.2% obtain a “G”. The property is for sale at more than €7 M by PROMORA, a leading real estate agency, specialized in luxury houses and offices. The house was already designed from scratch to minimize energy consumption, as well as CO2 emissions, so it features domotic management and the most advanced materials and technologies. KeelWit, as a leading company in energy efficiency certification in buildings, describes the state of the art of energy efficiency in Spain and lists the key features to achieve a better energy efficiency grade.

CDTI funds KeelWit to enhance its research into aerodynamics
The Centre for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) is a Public Corporation, belonging to the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, which promotes technological development and innovation by Spanish companies. It is the entity that channels the funding and support applications for national and international R&D&i projects by Spanish companies. The CDTI thus seeks to contribute to improving the technological level of Spanish companies by implementing the following activities: Financial and economic-technical assessment of R&D projects implemented by companies. Managing and promoting Spanish participation in international technological cooperation programs. Encouraging international business technology transfer and support services for technological innovation. Supporting the setting up and consolidating of technology companies. After a thorough analysis of KeelWit’s activities, the CDTI has funded its R&D Project called “DESIGN OF A MODULAR AND MULTIPURPOSE WIND TUNNEL WITH OPTIMIZED ENERGY CONSUMPTION FOR AERODYNAMIC STUDIES” CDTI co-funds the Project together with the European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) though its 2007-2013 Operational Project....Latest news
