StreamSTEP aims to streamline the adoption of advanced solutions, comprising technologies and practices, for sustainable heating energy in EIIs.
The goal will be achieved both through the deployment of innovative technological solutions,
but also the delivery of tools, methodologies and other resources that lower barriers to entry for sustainable thermal management.
The project will address processes that generate waste heat across temperature grades, from 135℃ to over 1400℃, deploying five innovative heat exchanger prototypes in challenging applications and achieving flexible operation across multiple heat sinks.
Heat upgrade will be managed through high temperature heat pumps, achieving outlet temperatures at 150℃ and at 215℃, with improved performance through the use of ejector technology and the capacity to operate dynamically across a range of required temperatures.
These innovations will be enabled through advanced manufacturing techniques, implementing a holistic digital twinning pipeline which will provide the necessary infrastructure to deploy powerful optimisation agents.
These technologies will improve energy balance, intermediary storage, and GHG avoidance and facilitate data‑driven LCA processes. Material performance will also be enhanced through the use of novel material alloys.
