Our Sector Solutions
We offer mitigation solutions based on deep engineering and process knowledge, specific to the 6 sectors with the most intensive carbon emissions of heavy industry.
Cement Sector
Sectoral Focus and Solution Area
Clinker production, high kiln heats, and fuel conversion.
Cement production is naturally one of the heavy industry branches with the highest process emissions. Optima Carbon Platform develops systems for reducing CO₂ gases originating from clinker calcination processes, alternative fuel (biomass, waste-derived fuel) conversions in calcination kilns, and waste heat recovery (WHR) from flue gas.
Application Areas
- ✓Rotary Kiln Waste Heat Recovery
- ✓Calcination Process Emission Reduction
- ✓Alternative Fuel Feeding Systems
- ✓Cement Grinding Energy Optimization
Iron-Steel Sector
Sectoral Focus and Solution Area
Electric arc furnaces, high process heat, and stack emission control.
The iron and steel sector has a large carbon footprint due to its extremely energy-intensive structure. We optimize carbon intensity through reducing thermal losses in electric arc furnaces and ladle furnaces, slag waste heat recovery, reusing process gases (coke oven gas, blast furnace gas) in energy production, and heat recovery in stack systems.
Application Areas
- ✓Arc Furnace Thermal Efficiency
- ✓Process Gas Recovery Systems
- ✓Flue Gas Energy Integration
- ✓Heat Treatment Furnaces Optimization
Ceramic and Glass Sector
Sectoral Focus and Solution Area
Tunnel kilns, natural gas savings, and process optimization.
Ceramic firing kilns and glass melting basins require continuous high heat and have high natural gas consumption. We achieve high savings in natural gas consumption by feeding back waste heat from firing kilns to raw material drying and spray dryer units, automatic control of kiln air-fuel ratios, and combustion optimization systems.
Application Areas
- ✓Spray Dryer Heat Integration
- ✓Tunnel Kiln Flue Gas Recovery
- ✓Combustion Air Preheating Systems
- ✓Oxy-fuel Combustion and Burner Conversion
Energy Production Plants
Sectoral Focus and Solution Area
Thermal power plants, combined cycle gas power plants, and auxiliary facilities.
In conventional thermal power plants and natural gas combined cycle power plants, boiler efficiency and flue gas losses directly affect the emission rate. We reduce the amount of carbon per unit of electricity generated (gCO₂/kWh) through condenser waste heat evaluation, boiler feed water preheating, flue gas filtration, and emission reduction optimizations.
Application Areas
- ✓Boiler Feed Water Preheating
- ✓Condenser Heat Recovery
- ✓Flue Gas Desulfurization Heat Integration
- ✓Auxiliary Facility Energy Optimization
Chemical & Refinery Sector
Sectoral Focus and Solution Area
Reactor heat integration, auxiliary boilers, and steam systems.
Chemical plants and refineries consume energy continuously due to high-pressure steam lines and reactor jacket heating/cooling cycles. We limit carbon emissions with steam trap optimization, flash steam recovery units, reactor exothermic reaction heat usage in heating process water, and cogeneration integrations.
Application Areas
- ✓Flash Steam Recovery
- ✓Reactor Heat Integration (Pinch Analysis)
- ✓Steam Distribution Lines Insulation and Monitoring
- ✓Cogeneration and Cycle Systems
Aluminum & Casting Sector
Sectoral Focus and Solution Area
Melting furnaces, casting processes, and thermal efficiency.
Aluminum melting and secondary aluminum recycling processes require high casting temperatures. We reduce melting energy inputs by preventing furnace lid leaks, transferring flue gas heat to combustion air with regenerative and recuperative burner systems, and integrating scrap preheating conveyors.
Application Areas
- ✓Regenerative Burner Integration
- ✓Scrap Preheating Systems
- ✓Furnace Pressure Control
- ✓Casting Process Flue Gas Analyses
Real Estate & REIT Sector
Sectoral Focus and Solution Area
Green building, energy-water-waste management, and carbon footprint reduction.
Preparing real estate portfolios for green building certifications, building energy performance, life cycle emissions, and green finance readiness.
Application Areas
- ✓Green Building & Site Standards
- ✓Portfolio Carbon Inventory (LCA)
- ✓Energy, Water & Waste Management
