Join us as we pioneer a new era in manufacturing, where efficiency and eco-friendliness lead the way.
Energy savings on production line
 Elimination of CO2 emissions
The project goal is to achieve up to a 40% reduction in energy consumption in papermaking production. Beyond environmental benefits, SteamDry promises a substantial decrease in production costs and a remarkable boost in resilience to industry instabilities.
SteamDry focuses on advancing superheated steam drying (SSD) technology, enabling the digitization and implementation of this innovative process. The SteamDry approach facilitates nearly complete recovery of latent heat, leading to unparalleled energy efficiency.
All impacts from the SteamDry project will contribute to achieving four UN Sustainable Development Goals: Decent Work and Economic Growth; Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure; Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action. The project aligns with the objectives of the 2030 Climate Target Plan, the EU Bioeconomy Strategy, Processes4Planet, and REPowerEU plans.
Enhancing the competitiveness of the paper industry is essential for job retention and economic sustainability. Reducing the climate impact of paper and board manufacturing fosters resilience in rural communities, where a significant portion of production units is situated. This, in turn, augments companies' capabilities to invest and operate efficiently, contributing to overall economic and environmental sustainability.
Beyond the pulp and paper sectors, SteamDry's technology holds promise for replication in various industrial settings such as mechanical wood processing, the chemical industry, and food manufacturing, underscoring its versatility and broad applicability.
