Reduction of environmental impacts in terms of KPI's (greenhouse emission, waste, coal and metal) by at least 15%.CO 2 emissions reductions by at least 50%.Re-utilization of energy and material waste streams to improve process efficiency 15%.Development of flexible, modular and versatile process units with applicability in energy intensive industries to achieve process cost reduction of at least 10%.These objectives and impacts will be verified during the validation process of the CIRMET solution, implemented and demonstrated in process plant (TRL7 - system prototype demonstration in operational environment): To achieve the main objective of the project and impacts expected in the SPIRE-03-2018 Energy and resource flexibility in highly energy intensive industries topic, the following specific objectives have been defined. The main objective of the project is to develop and validate an innovative and efficient solution to the energy intensive process industries for energy and resource flexibility, the CIRMET solution. The effective dissemination of project outcomes to the current and next generation of citizen and employees through the development of learning resources with flexible usage to be carried out by education/training experts within the consortium is eventually also an important objective of the consortium. The retrofitting of an existing process unit, will be done to implement and validate the complete CIRMET solution.ДЄ well-balanced consortium formed by academia, research organization, SMEs and energy intensive industries ensures the whole value chain needed to achieve project objectives and paves the way for future exploitation of the solution. The new demonstrators or modules will be: EFFIMELT furnace, a new concept of flexible and modular process unit for industrial wastes treatment, RECUWASTE heat recovery unit, for flue gas heat recovery and transformation into compressed air to re-used in the same plant, having also the possibility of storing the excess energy and AFF40 (Analytic For Factory 4.0) platform, to improve process plant competitiveness, to increase energy and resource efficiency by controlling and optimizing process units.

The CIRMET solution will be validated in an operational environment (TRL7) in an existing process plant (nonferrous sector) while the replicability of the solution will be assessed in three additional energy intensive sectors (steel, cement and water sector).ДЇor this purpose, three new demonstrators will be built up, plus the retrofitting of existing industry process unit. The CIRMET Project aims to design, develop and validate an innovative solution, the CIRMET solution, to provide energy and resource flexibility to Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs).
