iets descriptioniets descriptioniets descriptioniets description� An IA dealing with new industrial energy technologies and

systems.

� Established in 2005 as the results of merging, revamping and extending activities formerly carried out by separate IA’s (Process integration, Pulp and paper, Process integration, Pulp and paper, Heat Exchangers and Heat Transfer, Heat Exchangers and Heat Transfer, Separation Technologies)Separation Technologies)

� To ease participation by countries in a broad range of industrial areas.

� To increase awareness of technology and energy efficiency opportunities in industry.

� To promote energy efficient industrial technologies and systems

� Contribution of industrial activities to energy consumption

� 1/3 of the world consumption

� 22 % CO2 release

� Targeted improvements

� 30 % of CO2 release

� Limited costs (sometimes negative)

annex Xannex Xannex Xannex X� Energy Efficient Drying and Dewatering Technologies

� High energy consuming technologies� Thermal drying : 10 à 15% of the industrial energy consumption

in developed countries.

� Largely widespread in the industry but often « hidden » in complex processes.� Agrofood industry� Chemical industry and biotechnology� Building materials, ceramics, polymers,…� Wood industry� Waste valorization or destruction

Type of processEnergy use(kwh/kg water)
