Cost Comparison: Cooling Towers vs Hygroscopic Cycle

The need for solutions that not only reduce costs but also minimize environmental impact has prompted the industry to consider more efficient alternatives. In this context, traditional cooling towers and the innovative hygroscopic cycle (HCT) emerge as two distinct approaches that merit in-depth analysis. The question that arises is: which of these systems offers the […]

How the application of HCT improves efficiency in nuclear power plants

Nuclear energy, long the subject of debate, now faces a crucial challenge: improving its efficiency and sustainability. In this context, the scarcity of water resources is becoming an increasingly urgent problem, highlighting the need for technological innovations. IMASA Technologies responds to this challenge with its Hygroscopic Cycle Technology (HCT), a new solution that not only […]

IMATECH’s HCT technology as a transformative tool for the energy industry

Case Study: Vetejar Biomass Plant (Palenciana-Cordoba) The Vetejar biomass plant, owned by Oleícola El Tejar and located in Palenciana, Córdoba, has become a benchmark for innovation and sustainability in the Spanish energy sector. It was the first in Spain to use a fluidized bed biomass boiler, in 1996, in order to valorize the waste generated […]

Hygroscopic Cycle Applications in Industry

In industrial processes, it is vital to continue to innovate in order to remain competitive, optimize current plant processes, reduce costs as much as possible and comply with increasingly restrictive laws to minimize environmental impact. One of these innovations is the hygroscopic cycle (HCT), an emerging technology that offers multiple benefits. This technology not only […]

Regulations and Legislation Regarding Plume Emission

From the tall chimneys of the industrial zones, a grayish veil rises and tints the sky: industrial smoke. This phenomenon, which at first glance could be mistaken for passing clouds, is actually a symbol of a major environmental and public health problem. The emission of plumes from factories and production plants are not mere vapors, […]

Humidity control in production environments

Measuring the humidity level in an industrial environment is crucial. It not only contributes to energy savings, but also improves the quality of the final product in industrial facilities and processes. When humidity levels are optimal, even indoor air quality benefits. In fact, experts warn that excessive or insufficient moisture content can negatively affect the […]

How does water consumption in industry affect the environment?

Water is a vital resource for life on the planet, but it is also one of the most threatened by human activity. In particular, the industrial sector is one of the main consumers and polluters of water worldwide. According to data from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the industrial sector uses […]

What are plumes in the industry?

In industry, there are terms and elements that play a crucial role in the operation of various installations. One of these essentially important concepts is the “plume”. However, to understand what plumes are in industry, we must first have a prior understanding of the role played by industrial chimneys. Industrial chimneys are structures that have […]
