DIFHEMI - EXCLUSIVE AND MULTIFACETED Manufactured by Brascoelma and brought to you by the joint-venture, DIFHEMI heaters are high-technology equipment capable of heating any fluid by electromagnetic induction. The device operates on a different principle because in addition to being versatile, and making it possible to heat any type of fluid, it is non-pollutant, it does not generate useless energy losses, and it reduces operational and implementation costs, the heating process’s performance and efficiency being raised to up to 98%. It is the leader and, worldwide, it is the most-efficient product in existence exploiting the conversion of electrical energy to heat. HOW DO THEY WORK?Employing the principle of electromagnetic induction, DIFHEMI heaters generate heat through the magnetism created in the grain-oriented steel nucleus, the heat being transferred to the stainless-steel tubes through which the fluids circulate.

Colloide designs and builds customised energy centres which generate heat which can then be distributed to buildings or district heat networks. We can also incorporate CHP units within the energy centre, providing electricity along with heat and a low carbon heat and power solution. Our energy centres are often designed to have more than one energy source, allowing the plant operator to vary the energy sources in relation to the energy demand and the best value for money at a given time. The energy sources may include: Gas fired boilers. Biomass boilers. Heat pump. Oil fired boilers. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit Our centres are engineered to include the energy sources, thermal stores, instrumentation, control systems, pumping and pipework network – building in as much flexibility as possible so that the plant can be operated as efficiently as possible.

District heating systems include a centralised energy centre which then distributes the heat through a network of insulated pipes to the buildings which are connected to the network. The network of pipework consists of a flow and return loop which passes each building. Colloide uses local substations in each building to control the flow of water from the district heating pipework loop through each substation and this flow is used to generate heat in the local building. The central energy centres are generally designed to have more than one energy source, which allows the plant operator to select the most cost efficient and sustainable way of providing the energy needed with the energy sources being brought on and off line to meet demand. We design and build the district heating and cooling networks to include the pumps, pipework, thermal stores, instrumentation, control systems, local substations, heat exchangers and communication through a central control system.

What is Anaerobic Digestion? Anaerobic Digestion is a natural biological process that can be used to generate renewable energy and manage waste. The process takes place in an oxygen-free digester, where micro-organisms convert organic material such as food waste, slurries and crop residues into: Biogas Biogas is a mixture of biomethane gas and carbon dioxide. The biogas can be used directly in CHP engines to produce renewable heat and power, or it can be burned to produce heat only. Alternatively, biomethane can be produced by removing the carbon dioxide from the biogas. The biomethane has many valuable uses. It can be injected into the gas grid as a renewable replacement for natural gas or it can be used as vehicle fuel. Digestate The by-product from the AD process is called ‘digestate’. It is rich in valuable plant nutrients such as nitrogen and potassium, and can be used as a renewable fertiliser/soil conditioner.
