Recovering Glass Fibre in Wind Blade Composites - ReGWind

Pyrocore是玻璃纤维（GF）废物流热解的领先先驱。该项目旨在开发一种首创的解决方案，以回收机械强度足以在风力涡轮机叶片应用中重复使用的GF。没有回收玻璃纤维的商业解决方案，因此，该项目寻求建立一个领先的废物回收解决方案，以支持刀片废物管理公司（如威立雅）和制造商（如维斯塔斯）。为此，Pyrocore将在其概念验证演示器的基础上，研究温度、氧化条件和材料特性之间的关系。我们的解决方案可以使英国每年产生的75，000吨报废GF废物得到回收和再利用。这将使叶片的制造成本更低，退役成本更低，使英国纳税人从更低的能源成本和更低的环境影响中受益。

Pyrocore are leading pioneers in pyrolysis of glass-fibre (GF) waste streams. This project seeks to develop a first-of-a-kind solution to recover GF that are mechanically strong enough for reuse in wind turbine blade applications. No commercial solution to recover glass-fibre exists and as such this project seeks to establish a leading waste recovery solution to support blade waste management companies (e.g. Veolia) and the manufacturers (e.g. Vestas). To do so, Pyrocore will build on its proof-of-concept demonstrator to investigate the relationship between temperature, oxidation conditions, and material properties. Our solution could enable 75,000 Tonnes of end-of-life GF waste produced each year in the UK, to be recovered and reused. This will make blades cheaper to manufacture and less costly to decommission, positively benefiting the UK taxpayer from cheaper energy costs and lower environmental impacts.
