    Overview

    The Fib3r project, which led to the construction of the plant owned by the Herambiente Group, is the result of an important three year experiment carried out in collaboration with the Toso Montanari Department of Industrial Chemistry of the University of Bologna and its technological partner Curti, a leading manufacturer of automatic machines for industrial applications. The Imola carbon fibre recovery plant can process different types of carbon fibre composite material waste, such as: machining offcuts, prepregs, finishing scraps, moulds and end of life items. The facility consists of 2 independent pyrogasification lines, which treat 1,100 kg per day of incoming waste (550 kg per line), with the related energy recovery of the process gases formed during treatment, by feeding them to the burners of the pyrolysis section, in order to reduce methane consumption. The plant, which will operate continuously 24/7, will be able to produce 160 tonnes (80 tonnes per line) per year of recycled fibre (rCF recovered carbon fibre). Starting from the study and optimisation of the process on a pilot plant in collaboration with the University of Bologna and Curti S.p.A., the best technologies were selected for the industrial plant built by Herambiente, paying particular attention to the criteria of maximum guarantee of environmental protection, reliability and safety of operation, technological innovation of process and product, and high energy efficiency. By ensuring maximum sustainability and full traceability of the production process, it is possible for our customers to close the loop of the circular economy. A fully traced supply chain guarantees transparency and quality of the entire process, from the collection of waste materials at the customer's plant to the treatment and return of recycled carbon fibre to the company, ready to be processed again.
