Jet Flash Turbo Dryer project
Industrias Químicas del Ebro, SA, has received a grant for its energy saving and efficiency project “Jet Flash Turbo Dryer”, through the Fondo Nacional de Eficiencia Energética and managed by the Instituto de Diversificación y Ahorro de la Energía (IDAE). These funds are co-financed by the European Union through the Operational Programme for Sustainable Growth 2014-2020 of the European Regional Developmente Fund (ERDF). An energy saving and efficiency project has been developed consisting of the implementation of a high performance product drying system, incorporating the most advanced techniques in productivity and energy efficiency. It has required the collaboration of the best manufacturers of equipment in the sector, which will bring us great energy and environmental savings in the process, achieving an estimated savings of 165.26 toe/year.

The MAPMIT project ends successfully
The MAPMIT project (polyfunctional sprayed materials for strengthening and monitoring infrastructures of transport) is created with the aim of investigating new materials for the for the repair or retrofitting of transport infrastructures such as tunnels, walls and bridges. And, in this way, get a better use of public funds and increase sustainability, reducing the consumption of raw materials and pollutants. This project has been carried out by IQE S.A. in collaboration with COMSA S.A.U., the Universitat Politècnica of Catalunya (UPC) and the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC); and co-funded by the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad in the Call Retos-Colaboración and by the European Union through FEDER funds under the objective of promoting the technological development, innovation and high quality research. (See banner photo) The MAPMIT project has acted on 5 fundamental pillars: As a technological innovation, this project has designed and developed new techniques and non-destructive methodologies for the characterization in the laboratory and in situ of the mechanical characteristics of the projected material. This has led to the design of a prototype for short and long term monitoring of the development of properties in shotcrete using ultrasonic sensors and systems based on wireless networks. The MAPMIT Project has allowed Industrias Químicas del Ebro S.A. develop and validate new accelerators free of alkalis, comparing their behavior in the applications studied with the products that are referents in the sector: AKF125 and ALNA73.

II Conference of recognition to the institutional and business chairs of the University of Zaragoza
Last Monday, November 26, took place in the auditorium of the University (Plaza de Paraíso, 4) the ceremony of recognition to the entities that collaborate with the university chairs, among which is IQE, and which was attended by the highest authorities of companies and institutions and all those who are carrying out the activity of the chairs. The University of Zaragoza has 68 chairs and is the second Spanish public university in terms of this type of agreement. These chairs allow for various R&D&I activities, teaching, conferences and seminars, student internships, scholarships, awards… The “Cátedra IQE” is based in the Faculty of Science and its activity is focused on the promotion of research; the dissemination, popularization and social projection of Science; the promotion of the application of technologies to the welfare of society, and other activities considered of mutual interest. The event was attended by the rector, José Antonio Mayoral, the president of the Government of Aragon, Javier Lambán; the secretary general of Universities, José Manuel Pingarrón; the president of the Social Council, Manuel Serrano; the president of the Aragonese Council of Chambers of Commerce, Manuel Teruel; the president of CEOE Zaragoza, Ricardo Mur; and the vice-rector of Technology Transfer and Innovation, Pilar Zaragoza. During the ceremony, Professor Enrique Dans gave a lecture on “Education, business and the keys to the future”.
IQE participated in the Euro Tier 2018 fair
We would like to thank all our customers and friends who came to the stand we shared with Sodivas at EuroTier fair at Hannover. Some of us had to go and look for them, but it was a very interesting and productive fair. Not only it has been a record in the aspect of animal feeding, also for us it has represented a new milestone in terms of meetings, occupation of the agenda and interest of the discussions. We are already preparing the next one in 2020.
