Development of a system for recovering heat from the water used to reduce the temperature of the fumes outgoing from an electrofilter

The project "DEVELOPMENT OF A SYSTEM FOR RECOVERING HEAT FROM WATER USED TO REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE OF THE FUMES OUTPUT FROM AN ELECTROFILTER" by the Company RTP RIFINZIONE TESSILE PRATESE SRL, developed in 2018, is placed in an extremely innovative context; in fact, both for the specific structure and corporate philosophy of the Company, linked to innovation, a new innovative product has been created in accordance with the criteria set out in the Oslo and Frascati manuals. As can be seen from the experimentation, the elements of innovation are linked to various components that have determined a series of preliminary studies and tests for their operation. The innovative elements are enclosed in various specific components that are listed below as an example: R.T.P. S.r.l. Rifinizione Tessile Pratese is based in the Municipality of Vaiano (PO) in via G. di Vittorio 46, and is a textile company that operates in the field of “finishing” of fabrics. Finishing in the textile field consists of the set of operations performed on a fabric to improve its appearance, to give it particular qualities of comfort or wearability, or to make it more suitable for the purposes for which it is intended. In particular, a significant part of the operations carried out by R.T.P. S.r.1. consists of washing and drying treatments of fabrics, activities for which the optimization of energy consumption has enormous economic relevance. R.T.P. S.r.l. has therefore designed and developed a system for recovering the heat of the water used to reduce the temperature of the fumes exiting an electrofilter.
