ghi Smart Furnaces

Organization Overview

GHI is a company with extensive experience in the field of industrial furnaces. Based on a solid foundation of engineering expertise, GHI is committed to innovation and the decarbonization of energy-intensive industrial sectors. With a strong track record in R&D, the company contributes to the development of new technologies that address the challenges of climate change and fossil fuel dependency.

Project Contribution

In the H2AL project, GHI provides engineering support focused on the retrofit of industrial furnaces. Their role involves assisting in the technical adaptation of one furnace and analyzing the potential for similar retrofits in other systems. By applying their knowledge in furnace design and process engineering, GHI contributes to the decarbonization of aluminium production processes.

Goals

GHI aims to contribute to the success of the H2AL project by delivering a technically sound and energy-efficient furnace retrofit. The company hopes the outcomes will demonstrate a viable path toward net zero emissions and serve as a reference for future industrial decarbonization efforts.

  • Contribute to the successful completion of the H2AL project through a technically viable and energy-efficient retrofit.
  • Demonstrate improvements in energy efficiency and emissions reduction in industrial processes.
  • Use the project outcomes as a reference for future industrial furnace retrofits.
  • Provide a clear pathway towards net-zero emissions in the aluminium sector.

Key Expertise

GHI brings to the project deep knowledge in:

  • Industrial furnace engineering and basic design
  • Process equipment and P&ID development
  • R&D focused on new combustion technologies and process improvements

Challenges and Solutions

The furnace targeted in this project represents a new type of system for GHI, requiring adaptations in combustion technology and structural design. GHI sees this as both a challenge and an opportunity to expand its expertise. By applying its engineering knowledge and collaborating with partners, GHI addresses these challenges and supports the broader goal of transitioning to cleaner industrial processes.
