hot Gas Raman Identification and measurement For Foundation INdustries (GRIFFIN)

英国政府致力于向零碳经济转型，包括在能源最密集的行业。这些部门消耗大量能源，但也在英国向可持续、低碳经济转型以及促进经济增长和经济再平衡方面发挥着至关重要的作用。英国基础工业产生了英国全部二氧化碳排放量的10%，其中玻璃、水泥和陶瓷这三个行业的制造是能源和资本密集型的。未来的环境法规在与来自发展中国家的新工厂竞争时带来了挑战，但也提供了新的机会。新冠肺炎的影响导致基础行业几乎完全停产。随后的复苏受到英国新政策和原材料价格暴跌的进一步挑战，这些都加剧了对遭受重创的部门的负面影响。这个能效工业研究项目旨在为玻璃、水泥和陶瓷行业提供一种变革性的新仪器，利用分析型拉曼气体测量仪器，最初是由项目负责人IS-Instruments为核退役而开发的。该仪器提供的数据将使这些Foundation Industries和其他公司能够在过程控制、能源消耗和环境排放监测方面做出阶段性改变。通过准确、接近实时的热气测量，将直接实现显著的能源节约，实现天然气与氢气等清洁能源混合的未来潜力，当与更准确和接近实时的燃烧器在过程中控制相结合时。该仪器优化的环境监测能力将使人们能够更好地理解，更多的过程中监测技术所增加的价值将提供一种新技术，使基础行业内的过程发生阶段性变化。为了实现这一协作、创新的项目，IS-仪器将得到英国基金会行业合作伙伴玻璃技术服务公司(Glass)、布里登集团(Breedon Group)(水泥)和维纳伯格(Wienerberger)(陶瓷)的支持，并拥有来自南安普顿光电子研究中心和谢菲尔德·哈勒姆材料工程研究所的世界级大学专业知识。

The UK Government is committed to moving to a zero-carbon economy, including within the most energy-intensive sectors. These sectors consume a considerable amount of energy, but also play an essential role in delivering the UK's transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy, as well as in contributing to economic growth and rebalancing the economy. UK Foundation Industries generate 10% of the UK's entire CO2 emissions and for three of these industries, glass, cement and ceramics, manufacture is energy and capital intensive.Future environmental regulations create challenges in competing with new plants from the developing world but also offer new opportunities. COVID-19 impact resulted in near total suspension of foundation industry production. Subsequent recovery is further challenged by new, UK policies and plummeting raw material values which are compounding negative impact to decimated sectors.This energy efficiency industrial research project aims to deliver a transformative new instrument for the glass, cement and ceramics industries, utilising analytical Raman gas measurement instrumentation, originally developed for nuclear decommissioning by project lead IS-Instruments. The data provided by the instrument will enable these Foundation Industries and others, to make a step-change in process control, energy consumption and environmental emissions monitoring.Significant energy savings will be directly enabled through accurate, near-to-real-time hot gas measurement, realising the future potential of mixing natural gas with cleaner energy sources such as hydrogen, when combined with more accurate and near-to-real-time burner in-process control. The optimised environmental monitoring capability of this instrument will enable greater understanding and the value added by additional in-process monitoring technologies will deliver a new technology enabling step changes to prcessing within the foundation industries.To deliver this collaborative, innovative project, IS-Instruments will be supported by UK Foundation Industry partners Glass Technology Services (Glass), Breedon Group (Cement) and Wienerberger (Ceramics) with world class University expertise from Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre and Sheffield Hallam's Materials Engineering Research Institute.
