Absolicon Solar Collector AB applications

More than half of mining operations such as electrowinning and heap leaching require low temperature, below 100°C. Absolicon solar collector efficiently produces steam up to 160°C, and supports a large fraction of mining heat demand, saving emissions up to 40% of total operating costs.

Absolicon solar collector T160 concentrates the incoming light making heat up to 160 degrees and steam up to 8 bar for industrial processes such as bleaching, washing, drying, and pulp digesting.

The global solar district heating market is expected to drive over the forecast period, as the technology is a cost-effective method in line with global climate goals. District heating is rapidly expanding in southern Europe and China as solar energy reduces the cost of fuel and CO2 emissions.

As the tea industry consumes a significant share of final energy, effective utilization of solar thermal energy for industrial process heat application can reduce dependency of fossil fuel and unsustainable biomass energy consumption. In tropical climates all-year-round availability of solar energy provides a huge potential for industrial heating application.

Every tonne of dairy product processed in the industry results in a significant amount of CO2 emission. A few dairy products are among the most climate-damaging food products in the world. The carbon footprint of these products can be reduced significantly by supplying solar heating solutions in the processing unit.

Solar thermal energy is an ideal energy source for a wide range of food processing applications, enabling substantial cuts in energy costs and CO₂ emissions. More and more food producers are investigating the possibilities with solar thermal energy to increase both profitability and sustainability. Food processing consumes vast amounts of energy, most of it as low to medium temperature heat, making it a perfect fit for solar thermal energy.

Solar thermal energy is an ideal energy source for a range of processes in textile production, enabling substantial cuts in energy costs and CO₂ emissions. More and more textile producers are investigating the possibilities with solar thermal energy to increase both profitability and sustainability. Textile production processing consumes substantial amounts of energy, most of it as low to medium temperature heat, making it a perfect fit for solar thermal energy.
