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...

KeelWit takes part in inicia programme organised by the Rafael del Pino Foundation
The Rafael del Pino Foundation, in partnership with the Madrid Confederation of Entrepreneurs and Chamber of Commerce organized the Inicia Programme, with the aim of introducing young people to the world of business and entrepreneurs. Several thousands of students in Madrid have participated in previous editions, with some of them already considering starting a career as entrepreneurs and others changing their image of business people and their importance in our society.. For the third consecutive year, Isaac Prada and José María Cancer were chosen to address a number of sessions with students from 16 to 18 years of age, during which entrepreneurship is shown as a potential alternative career once they finish their studies. Sessions follow a structured yet highly interactive methodology, at which attendants can ask questions and express their opinions, whilst understanding the reasons why both founders decided to start KeelWit Technology and the main challenges they faced.

KeelWit takes part in the 3rd National Congress on Eco-friendly Mobility and Urban Package delivery
José María Cancer was invited on behalf of KeelWit Technology to take part in the 3rd National Congress on eco-friendly mobility and urban package delivery. During the congress, talks focused in the state of the art and best practices carried out by companies in the industry sector over the past year. The congress was organized jointly by CITET (Innovation Centre for Logistics & Transportation) and UNO (Logistics & Transportation Employer’s Organization) in conjunction with the Coslada Town Council. Over 150 relevant figures in the Logistics sector were invited and attended the meeting. In his speech, the CITET Secretary highlighted the main innovative projects they had sponsored during the previous year. A relevant part of the speech was devoted to the development by KeelWit Technology of a new electric tricycle for its client, Vienenbici. This tricycle is currently used for package delivery in downtown Madrid. The Regional Government of Madrid awarded the Trike Development and its Use Project with the “Clean Environment 2012” prize in the month of May. The Congress was the perfect occasion for Vienenbici to display the latest version of the tricycle, adapted for the dual use of brochure transport and an information counter for tourists, built specially for the Madrid Town Council.
