Detailed project

NB: this form is filled entirely by the ones submitting the innovation.

What is the issue addressed?

Distillation is a very inefficient process which is responsible for 10+% of the industrial CO2 emissions in the world. RevSep can replace conventional distillation with energy savings of up to 90%, it is an enormous step towards a more sustainable industry while remaining economically interesting.

How is the problem solved?

It has a much higher thermal and thermodynamic efficiency due to a reversible energy cycle.

What is the customer target?

All (petro)chemical companies: Shell/Dow/etc., all air separation companies: Linde/Air Liquide/etc., all thermal desalination plants: Veolia/SUEZ/IDE/etc.

How is this solution different?

a reversible energy cycle
