The processing of pulp and paper products yields a significant amount of waste referred to as pulp and paper mill sludge (PPMS or PMS) which represent some of the most significant waste problems faced by the foundation industries. Prior studies have indicated that PPMS and PMS may be used in their raw or composted forms […]

This project will utilise heat pipe technology to develop an innovative waste heat recovery system that can capture wasted radiative heat from hot slabs (wall temperatures >500°C). The recovered heat will be transferred by the heat pipe system to a suitable heat sink fluid that will deliver this heat to an application within the steel […]

The industrial sector in the UK accounts for 17 % of its overall energy consumption, the majority of which is in the form of heat (BEIS, 2017). Waste heat recovery (WHR) and reuse are thus the next frontiers for energy-intensive industries. Among available technologies, thermal energy storage (TES) is a cost-effective and versatile solution for […]
