Global ambitions for significant impact across Industrial Processing

FIDEtechnology addresses the global environmental impact challenges from industrial processing. Our patented technology allows significant reductions in Industrial Energy Consumption and CO2 emissions. It’s cost effective patented technologies can quickly be scaled up to benefit different industries where fine grinding, lower energy consumption and CO2 reduction is demanded.

Our innovation is applied initially to the Vertical Roller Mill grinding concept (VRM) and can be added to existing machines from most producers with modifications. However, in order to get the full benefit from the technology a complete FIDEtechnology LC Mill is proposed and is essential to achieve the optimal production results.

Consequently, the industries we are targeting are those that crush and grind materials and use fine materials in their processing.
Five key areas where our disruptive technology can make an impact are:

  • electrical cost savings,
  • increase a material’s reactivity,
  • higher process efficiency,
  • CO2 emissions reduction
  • use of new, sustainable materials

Cement

Within cement-making our initial focus was to dramatically improve the grinding process with our LC Mill. Today’s result are increasing grinding efficiency “up to 300%” and lowering the purchase and operational costs. Additional offerings are the ability to grind any material much finer (for blends etc), separately grind several different materials in the same LC mill and lower the CO2 emissions overall (achieving CO2 credits).

Case study

Concrete and Infrastructure

Concrete is the main element for the massive Infrastructure projects currently planned and underway around the world, such as transport, accommodation, water and new energy. The LC Mill can make a massive contribute by reducing the CO2 footprint, energy requirements and cost of concrete when grinding the ingredients. The LC Mill also enables new “Green concrete” blends to be produced by making the strategic elements (cement, sustainable fillers) more reactive. To enhance the Circular Economy we can grind “old concrete” optimally to allow highest usage.

Case study

Mining

With Strategic Materials becoming more difficult to mine or becoming depleted, our LC Mill technology is able to grind minerals finer, at a lower cost, and higher efficiency therefore increasing the reactivity. The more precise control of the Particle Size Distribution (PSD) adds further value to the materials.

Case study

Clean Energy

The FIDEtechnology LC Mill can make a significant contribute to the transition to Clean Energy generation and storage. In traditional Thermal/Combustion processes for energy and heat generation (Biomass, coal, Municipal Waste, etc.) the waste gases are cleaned (desulfurization) by injecting fine reactive powders. The powder reactivity and effectiveness are enhanced with the LC Mill at a lower cost. As Lithium supplies for energy storage battery production become critical, the LC Mill could enhance its reactivity to reduce the volumes required.

General LC Mill Industrial Performance

From the design, modelling and operational results, the new FIDEtechnology LC mill will have the following advantages over the only other existing mill that can produce such very fine powders, i.e. the Ball Mill for the same production volume capacity.

Save 66% of energy.     Smaller size.    Lower cost.

Products and Applications

The LC Mill design comes in a range of sizes and grinding capacities from Lab-scale to above 200 Tonnes per hour. The LC Mill is also “Multi-usage” and it’s flexible design allows it to operate in different applications. The present LC Mill configurations:

FIDEtechnology –
Your Strategic Partner for Comminution*

*Comminution means the action of reducing a material, an ore, to minute particles or fragments, and our expert team is applying this deep knowledge to solving today’s comminution-related problems.

Our specialization is the grinding and crushing of hard particles, built on years of both practical and deep scientific experience. 

We can Design and Realize the comminution mill systems of tomorrow, using innovative thinking, cutting edge technology, and the wisdom of experience. In addition, we are consultants to the cement and mining industry among others.

Production and Manufacturing of our equipment is based on decades of experience and knowledge with a local approach to the customer ensuring a lower CO2 footprint and better control of costs. This includes being on time, on spec and delivering quality, making safety-focused and cost-competitive solutions.

Superfine grinding of limestone

We were contacted by a customer who could see the market for fly-ash decline when the coal-fired power plants were determined to be closed. FIDEtechnology’s grinding solution can handle superfine grinding with a lower power consumption per produced tonnage resulting in cheaper operation and less CO2 emission. Superfine grinded limestone can substitute fly-ash in the cement-mix.

The project is on hold due to an extension of the closure date for the power plants and hence fly-ash can still be used as a filler in cement.

Local sand conditioning
A specific sand texture is key to concrete costs and strength.

Sand constitutes a major part of concrete but only the “right type” of sand works. Many times, “special sand” needs expensive transport to a site because local sand is no suitable. Recent research showed that “conditioning” of local sand can make it suitable and in case lead to a 20% increase in concrete strength. FIDEtechnology is capable of such conditioning and this project will confirm its advantages.

Metal and Minerals Project example

Production of AM metal powders – A low cost, industrial volume production route for AM metal powders. The goal of this project is to validate a low cost, high volume production process based around a novel FIDEtechnology mechanical reduction equipment. Today’s main AM metal powder route is molten metal atomization which is complex, expensive, low batch volume and energy-intensive.

Biomass Flue Gas Desulfurization

BioMass Power Generation is a growing and important sector alternative and sustainable. However, it still produces gaseous emissions as part of the process and expensive scrubbers to remove SOX and NOX particles from the gas before it enters the environment. Super fine Limestone, produced with a FIDEtechnology LC Mill, would provide a natural, low cost and highly efficient alternative and generate 50% of the waste from the process.
