SPIRE Brokerage event December 16th 2013 SUSTAINABLE PROCESSINDUSTRY EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL COMPETTIVENESS TROUGH Resource and energy efficiency Incorporation of a variety of organic wastes into clay ceramics production for the GHG Emission Reduction.
Organization www.viokeral.com • VIOKERAL , is one of the most important clay building materials producers in Greece and neighbouring Balkan countries (Bulgaria and Albania) .
Established in 1920 as family owned company, created through the decades a great reputation for innovation, progressive development that both finally ensure reliable quality products, such as: hollow and perforated bricks, roof tilles, and celler system. • 550.000 tn of ceramic building materials are produced annualy at six different owned plants fullfilling quality standards and aesthetic design. • By the participation to the EU – ETS, VIOKERAL organised R&D&I department , in order to achieve the KYOTO target and creates CARBON OFFSETS .Thus , in the production process , valorise waste or by-products into raw materials
Project Idea Concept 1. Production of ceramic products by mixing clay materials with : • Olive Stone Wooden Residue • Alperujo (two phase olive oil mills waste) • Olive Oil Mill Waste Waters (OMWW) • Other biomass waste (agricultural, food industry) • Oil drillingand processing 2. Reduction of energy demands (up to 60%) 3. Reduction of water demand (up to 30% for Alperujo and OMWW) 4. Increase resource efficiency through kilns, boilers , heat exchangers and automation systems. 5. Involve cross - sectorial corporations, machinery constructors and research institutes to the reduction of GHG emissions and resource efficiency. Major Advantages : a) Holistic approach for resource management b)Substantial reduction in energy demands and CO2 emissions.
Natural Clays Improved Light Weight Ceramics Biogas Air emissions, characterization & exploitation Olive oil wastes Logistics Immobilization of pollutants Other Biomass wastes Oil drilling, transport & processing
Idea Impact Collaboration of • Research organizations • Clay Ceramic Industries • Olive Oil mills • Municipal waste treatment plants, agricultural processing industries, food industries • Oil industry aiming to: 1. Valorisation of waste or process by-products by its incorporation into clay ceramics. • Energy and CO2 emission reduction. • Minimizing pollution. 6
Idea Impact OIL INDUSTRY WASTES RESEARCH ORGANISATIONS / UNIVERSITIES OLIVE MILLS WASTE OTHER BIOMASS WASTE 7
Existing Project Consortium • Process scale up • New products • Energy savings • Less water demand TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE OF THESSALY Research study on the incorporation of biomass into clay ceramics • OLIVE OIL MILLS • MUNICIPAL W/W PLANTS • Biomass production • Water effluents This project was supported in whole and granted by “Terra S.A.”, Industrial Area, Larissa, Greece.
Looking for partners… Machinery constructors and automation systems Research institutes / laboratories / universities Ceramic industry (LCA) (BAT) (LCC) (Exergy) Olive Oil mills Municipal Waste plants Agricultural processing and Food Industries Process & applications Horizontal Feed
