“We’ve successfully
reduced the thermal energy
consumption of the granulation
unit dryer”
“At Rio Grande (TIMAC AGRO Brasil),
the dryer accounts for 73% of all the
thermal energy used by the unit to
reduce pellet moisture content. Which
is why it’s so important to analyse
all the parameters inf luencing that
level of consumption. The in-house
AIM (Agile Industrial Management)
accelerated management training
programme gave me the opportunity
of surrounding myself with specialists
and learning from the experiences
of fellow participants. The shared
expertise gained as a result highlighted
a number of areas for improvement,
including insulating the dryer to reduce
energy losses and CO
2
emissions,
and adopting new routines to control
the temperature of the gases inside
the dryer more accurately. We set
ourselves the target of reducing
consumption from 130 to 126 kWh per
tonne, but we actually managed to do
even better than that with an end result
of 121 kWh of tonne.”

A recycled refractory material set
to conquer the steel industry
The ECO product range developed by
Magnesitas Navarras reuses a refractory
material that was previously used only once
by steelworks. The great advantage of this
new solution is that it reduces the use of
virgin raw materials, resulting in less waste
and lower CO
2
emissions as a result of the
manufacturing process. Since its launch in
2020, ECO products have been adopted by
a large number of steelmakers, more than
doubling the amount of recycled material
purchased from waste sorting specialists.
Magna now intends to transpose this model
to all its current and future ranges.
