Elyse Technology : a solution for waste reducing

23/05/2024

From Configuration 0 to Industrial Configuration

Elyse Technology continues its development, and has just completed Phase 3 which led to a TRL of 8/9.

The decision to build a Technology Demonstrator / Series Lead allowed us to operate in real conditions (in wind, rain, heat waves, winter cold), with the hazards that this entails.

In the first half of 2022, we tested B wood, CSR, CSE, tires and rolling mill sludge. The humidity level of these products varies from 10% to 30%, with densities of 200 to 1,800 kg/m3.

The demonstrator thus passes a continuous flow rate of 100 to 310 kg/h depending on the nature of the input and its rate of volatility in the transfer. The flow rate planned during the design in 2018 was 240 kg/h of wood.

The demonstrator was pushed into a cold test, to validate the maximum design flow of the enclosures.

We were able to validate techniques for acceptance tests on site and in the workshop by infrared thermography and helium detection (measurement at 10-7 leak rate).

We thus pushed the vacuum to 40 mbar absolute.
