On 18 April, our company hosted the 5th monitoring visit of the Bauxal II project.
In 2023, the validation phase of the new BAUXAL products begins with a battery of industrial tests on real equipment linings.
Success story in the aluminium foundry sector with a 43% recovery of the waste heat stream from a heat treatment furnace.
Paval's refining prototype has reached the Refinal production committed for the first sintering campaign that will take place during the month of August.
On 27 April last, the 4th monitoring visit of LIFE BAUXAL II took place at the BEFESA-Valladolid facilities. After reviewing the scope and degree of execution of the project and the next actions, we saw the refinery prototype in operation.
REFINAL agglomeration process establishes along with the sintering process the basis to obtain critical properties of the future BAUXAL grains such as density and porosity.
Insertec participates in H-ACERO, a project developed by 10 Basque companies to convert the hydrogen as an alternative energy source at various points in the steel production process
Compared to wood or PVC, aluminium is the most suitable material for a future governed by the principles of the Circular Economy. This is one of the conclusions of the "Circularity Report".
Within the framework of the X International Foundry Technical Forum held on 27 and 28/10, Idoia Ibarretxe, Industrial Director of RSI, and Hector Trigueros from BEFESA gave a conference entitled "From waste to raw material: innovation and valorization in Aluminum and Refractory".
Insertec and Basque technology institute GAIKER are working together on HORUS and REFIBRIO, two projects framed within the recovery of composite waste.
On 11th September, the ETEKINA Project has taken another step towards energy savings: the system was brought to nominal temperatures with Brunnel's v.B.. After this milestone, Fagor Ederlan and Insertec, in collaboration with Brunel University London and Ikerlan, will continue with the tests on the different ways of using the system.
In the framework of the ETEKINA project, INSERTEC collaborates in a case study on the reduction of emissions in secondary aluminium production plants through the technology: Greener furnaces + HPHE.
Last April 22nd was World Earth Day. At Insertec, we didn't celebrate it because our commitment to the environment knows no dates. We work every day to develop solutions that, as well as responding to the needs of our clients, are also eco-responsible. In both our furnaces and refractory units, we c ...
INSERTEC is one of the 58 companies that participate in the Basque Hydrogen Corridor consortium through its participation in the H-ACERO project: Climate neutrality of the steel industry based on new technologies and processes with intensive application of hydrogen
Guiding this 4R paradigm (Reduce-Reuse-Reinvent-Recycle) by adding one more R, 5R being this fifth Reeducate in the steel and refractory sector we enrolled in 2 projects with the help of European funds within the LIFE programme with leading companies in several related sectors.
At the end of January, a day was dedicated to review and monitor the LIFE BAUXAL II project at the BEFESA ALUMINIO facilities, more specifically at its Valladolid plant. With the participation of technicians from INSERTEC and BEFESA, the most significant advances of the project to date were analyzed and the guidelines and next steps to be taken.
"The world is watching us. It's time to act. With this slogan, the COP25 climate summit started on Monday in Madrid. In his inaugural speech, its new president, Carolina Schmidt Zaldívar, stressed the importance of a real commitment of political institutions and the need for a faster, fairer and more inclusive climate transition.
The preindustrial prototype for Paval refining with a Refinal´s capacity of 500tpy has been started during the month of October, as it was expected in the project´s schedule.
