MSLOOP PROJECT: THE NEW GENERATION OF CSP PLANTS

MSLOOP aims to validate a technology consisting of developing a cost effective solar field for CSP Parabolic Trough Power Plants using optimized ternary molten salts as HTF with an innovative hybridization system.

CADE takes part of the consortium together with COBRA, SCHLAICH BERGERMANN PARTNER, ARCHIMEDE SOLAR and UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID

cost effective solar field for CSP Parabolic Trough Power Plants

The MSLOOP 2.0 consortium consists of a multidisciplinary team formed by five partners from three European Union member countries (Spain, Italy and Germany) in strategic fields within solar thermal sector. This composition will boost an innovative development capable of achieving a strong positioning in the market.

The Kick-off meeting of the project Msloop 2.0 was held the 23th November 2016 at Cobra’s headquarters in Madrid. Five experienced institutions in strategic fields within solar thermal sector comprise the project.  The project is receiving funding from the EC under the Fast Track to Innovation Programme (H2020) that promotes close-to-the-market innovation activities.

During the kick-off meeting, the Consortium members discussed the status of the research area, project goals, and expectations of the different stakeholders with respect to the project outcome. An introduction of the main issues of the Work Packages was explained, describing the task involved in each one.

The members not only discussed about the organizational structure of the project and the technical content, but also they decided on matters related to the dissemination of results and the activities to be performed in the next 6 months.

CADE will be in charge of several WPs related to operation parameters optimization and reliability improvement, detail engineering, manufacturing and assembly supervision, operation and performance testing and validation, commercial scale up, reliability studies, among others.

How Energy Savings in Refineries Depend on Steam Management

Steam is essential in refineries for processes such as heating, distillation, and power generation. However, leaks and condensate losses represent a multimillion-dollar waste in fuel, water, and efficiency. Addressing these issues not only reduces costs but also minimizes emissions and improves sustainability. The Hidden Cost of Steam Leaks A single

Explosive Atmospheres: Concept, Classification, and ATEX Parameters

What is an Explosive Atmosphere? An explosive atmosphere is defined as a mixture of air with flammable substances (gases, vapors, mists, or dusts) which, under normal conditions of pressure and temperature, can ignite upon contact with an ignition source. This mixture contains a sufficient concentration of the flammable substance in

Predictive Maintenance in Energy Plant Assets: Ensuring Efficiency

Predictive maintenance is a key strategy in industrial asset management, both in refineries and solar thermal plants. Unlike preventive maintenance, which is performed at fixed intervals, condition-based maintenance is carried out only when data indicates it is necessary. This optimizes resource use and reduces downtime. Predictive maintenance relies on monitoring
