Energy recovery - Import export

The innovative recuperation module from CIC acts as an energy-saving valve and control module directly in the pneumatic circuit. Functionality : It is installed directly on the consumer - e.g. on the pneumatic cylinder or in the pneumatic control circuit. The recuperation valve with its integrated control electronics measures and regulates the air consumption and feeds used compressed air back into the working cycle for reuse. Advantages : Reduction of compressed air consumption by up to 80%. Increase in efficiency of the plant. Smart monitoring and diagnostics of the pneumatic system with numerous evaluation options and control in line with Industry 4.0. Detection of leaks and irregularities. Delivery for predictive maintenance data. Avoidance of downtimes. Simple control software and wireless transfer from PC.

Heat recovery with the help of heat exchangers In industry, waste heat occurs at many points in the production process, which is often released into the environment without being used. In many cases, energy is even used to cool the waste heat flows from production so that they can be released into the environment. Heat exchangers (also called heat exchangers) are used for heat recovery so that the waste heat generated in the production process can be used again in the company. Gaseous or liquid media Waste heat can be in the form of gaseous media (e.g. warm exhaust air, steam, exhaust gases, etc.) or in the form of liquid media (e.g. hot water or other liquids). With the help of heat exchangers, the waste heat can be recovered from both gaseous and liquid media and then made available to the production process at a suitable point as energy in gaseous or liquid media. This process is known as energy recovery or also as heat recovery.

Thanks to its own sugar know-how, DSEC specialized in sugar plants EPC construction. The company acquired its expertise through the realization of many projects, ranging from audits of existing installations up to the turnkey construction of new industrial complexes. As for its other activities, DSEC is able to execute sugar related projects under the form of full EPC contracts, being familiar with all aspects of the project's implementation. DSEC not only masters specific sugar techniques and technologies but also all related process auxiliaries, civil works, steel structures, installation works, start-up and commissioning activities, including training of the client's personnel. DSEC’s project design and construction management gives paramount importance to the respect of health and safety and environment norms as well as to technical efficiency and ease of operation. The monitoring of project cost, time schedule and performances is the essence of any EPCM or EPC commitment. DSEC has developed proprietary technological and thermodynamic programs that very accurately simulate the operation of plants, from overall Heat & Mass Balances down to unitary process operations. In terms of drawings, DSEC uses a powerful 3D drawing and construction management tool (SmartPlan®) that dramatically improves material purchasing activity and site installation efficiency through a high level of prefabrication works. The importance of cogeneration and energy saving concepts has deeply changed the design of sugar plants construction and refineries over the last thirty years. DSEC is particularly proud of the results obtained in plants that have been built or upgraded in accordance with its studies and recommendations. DSEC’s independence from equipment suppliers and technology providers allows selecting the best possible technical solutions with a view of optimizing performances, energy recovery, maintenance and cost to the benefit of any project. In addition to state-of-the-art projects, DSEC’s engineering skills combined with agro process know-how have been selected by major players for developing large scale industrial units from laboratory developments and pilot plants. The projected increase in world sugar demand of 100 million tons over the next 15 years makes De Smet Engineers & Contractor’s knowhow in sugar plants EPC construction extremely valuable for the market.
