Characterisation of diffuse and channelled emissions (particulate matter (PTS, PM10, PM2, 5 and nanoparticles), acid pollutants, combustion gases, VOCs, etc.), identification of tracers, selection of BATs, development of BAT techniques for emerging pollutants, application of complex atmospheric and pollutant diffusion models, emission inventories and advice for the development of air quality improvement plans.
Performance of energy audits on industrial processes to identify opportunities for reducing energy consumption: optimisation of process variables, residual heat recovery, search for best heat recovery techniques. Thermographic analysis of facilities. Reduction of CO2 emissions. Heat transfer simulation. Customised training.
Testing, simulation and analysis of ground characterisation for the design of very low temperature geothermal installations:
– Selection of the type of facility (open–closed–horizontal–vertical)
– Determination of ground thermal properties.
–Analysis of building energy consumption.
Recycling of solid urban and industrial waste, by treatment and conditioning for use as raw materials in ceramic products. Design of products and processes for recycling large amounts of waste.
