Energy-efficient processes and an improved heat recovery are vital to fulfil the objectives of FME HighEFF. The Norwegian Energy intensive industry represented by metallurgical industries and particular manganese and silicon alloys production are one of the largest consumers of both electrical energy and reduction media such as carbon and thus a comprehensive potential to improve the environmental balance.
Process improvements which are closely related to the primary process are necessary in addition to more efficient auxiliary systems around the core. Bringing together researchers and auctioneers both from industry and academia is needed to provide innovation.
