Energy & Environment
CSM's offer on the development of innovative technologies for wastes treatment and low environment impact energy production, makes our company relevant in Italy and worldwide according to its commitment on the healthy relationship between industrial development and quality of life. Significant size pilot plants and chemical and physical analysis labs allow CSM to issue feasibility studies and experimental campaigns tailored to evaluate the client's needs before taking the burden of committing to a full scale development, thus contributing to sensibilise the community towards environmental matters. From December 1997, when more than 160 nations met in Kyoto (Japan) to negotiate binding limitations on greenhouse gases, the demand for more energy savings and awareness on environment protection has been continuously rising.
It was at that time that Centro Sviluppo Materiali S.p.A. also got strongly involved on energy and environment technologies. In fact, a remarkable fourty-years' know-how acquired by working on Iron&Steel processes (i.e., melting, combustion, etc.), materials ( metals, ceramics, refractories, etc.) and high temperature technologies (i.e., blast furnaces, heating furnaces, chemical reactors, etc.), gave the Company the foundations to efficiently match the challenges coming from a new environment-aware world by providing original solutions for waste treatment (i.e., dangerous or less toxyc urban and industrial wastes, etc.), their intertization and conversion into energy or secondary raw materials and by giving remarkable contributions in the development of high yield, low emission advanced burners and furnaces. The Centro Sviluppo Materiali S.p.A. technological offer concerns the following three stacked levels: - feasibility study,
- technology development,
- industrial scaling-up.
The former is focused on addressing the process which best fits the client's demand amongst several possible technologies ( pyrolisis, gasification, combustion, melting, etc.) and takes advantage of analysis data from on-field measurements. Refined statistical methodologies, having passed hundreds of numerical simulations, laboratory scale testing and economical appraisals, are used in this activity. The latter basically concerns the development of the required process by means of “ad hoc” personalizations of CSM experimental facilities. Therefore, it mostly consists of design and plant prototypes development, experimental campaigns aimed at defining the best operational practices and the qualification of the prototype and the scaled-up process in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and costs. The design of the plant, its construction and installation, and the process start-up and tuning may complement the offer.
