INDUSTRIAL DECARBONISATION
Energy solutions and heat recovery ZIEMEX
Nowadays, industrial decarbonisation is a strategic concern for any energy-intensive sector: sugar refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, food processing, steel, cement.
It involves the reduction, or even elimination, of CO₂ emissions linked to production processes.
Faced with regulatory requirements, increasing energy costs and carbon neutrality goals, industries are seeking reliable, high-performance technical solutions which will reduce their carbon footprint, without compromising their operational performance.
At ZIEMEX, we use our expertise in heat transfer and energy procedures to support our customers in their low carbon transition, implementing concrete solutions for energy recovery, process optimisation and integration of sustainable new technologies.
DECARBONISATION CHALLENGES
for each industrial sector
Decarbonisation is not limited to the reduction of emissions: it involves a complete reworking of thermal and energy procedures. Each industrial sector has to meet specific requirements due to the nature of its products, its thermal cycles and its energy consumption. At ZIEMEX, we apply our heat transfer know-how to adapting our technologies to suit each sector, and to identifying the most effective levers for CO₂ reduction.
- Sugar & distillery plants: energy optimization of multi-effect evaporators and mechanical vapor recompression to drastically reduce live steam consumption.
- Petrochemicals: process energy integration (steam cracking, reforming, desulfurization) to recover tens of MW, save millions of euros, and significantly reduce CO₂ emissions.
- Food & Beverage & Brewery: thermal design and calculation of quilted double jackets to precisely size cooling flows, avoid oversizing, and thus reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint.
- Pharmaceutical & biotech: optimization of steam/condensation processes in a sterile and regulated environment to combine energy efficiency and compliance.
- Chemicals: maximum product condensation using custom heat exchangers, reducing atmospheric emissions and improving energy efficiency, directly contributing to lower CO₂ emissions.
ZIEMEX TECHNOLOGY &
know-how
At ZIEMEX, we have more than 30 years’ experience working with heat transfer. As a result, we are able to provide concrete decarbonisation solutions:
Heat exchangers: recovery and re-use of lethal heat.
Energy skids: turnkey integration of optimised heating/cooling solutions.
Thermal studies and R&D: modelling procedures, calculating energy performance, validating through pilots.
Equipment suited to process requirements: pressure highs, temperature highs and corrosive fluids (sugar refinery, petrochemicals, chemicals).
Thanks to our ZIEMEX technologies (single embossed pillow plates, welded plate exchangers, shell and tube exchangers, integrated skids), we create systems which can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of industrial processes.

ASSOCIATED SERVICES
beyond equipment supply
At ZIEMEX, we guarantee comprehensive support at each stage of your decarbonisation project: from the energy audit and feasibility study to the design and sizing of equipment. Our teams carry our pilot tests in our R&D department to validate the energy gains achieved under real-world conditions. They then oversee the factory manufacturing, FAT testing and on-site commissioning, as well as performance and sustainable maintenance monitoring.
