Econotherm® confirmed as the heat pipe delivery partner in the EU funded iWay project. With 12.3 M Euro funding and 19 participants the project is focused on water recycling in a variety of industrial settings. The project will commence on the 1st December 2020 and run for 48 months. There is a pressing need for new technologies and approaches that complement economic growth and productivity while firstly addressing environmental challenges. iWAYS is a step in this direction, featuring a wide array of technologies that are non-disruptive and applicable in any industry with wastewater and gaseous emissions. While the concept of water and heat recovery have been demonstrated and widely applied, in iWAYS a unique approach is taken, focusing on until now impossible streams to address and building synergies between heat and water reclamation and exploitation. The project also addresses several issues afflicting commercial technologies (such as Reverse Osmosis and Membrane Distillation) through innovative and enabling approaches.
