A look back at the FIRE 2026 forum in Lyon: The Eurofloat project presented with our partner
On September 22, at the FIRE 2026 forum in Lyon, Camille Moreaux presented, alongside Emmanuel B. from Eurofloat, the waste heat recovery project for the Salaise-sur-Sanne glass production site.
Most waste heat projects start from the source: What heat can be recovered? This one started from the need. How much power is required to cover 100% of the site’s heating, and which source meets this most simply?
Flow analysis identified the annealing lehr. However, several hundred meters separate it from the area to be heated. Over such a distance, hot air would require oversized pipes, whereas water is much easier to transport. This led to the choice of TURBOSOL® CHP: it provides hot water for the heating network and produces electricity, which improves the project’s economic balance.
HEVATECH handles the study, installation, and financing, with no initial investment for the site. The machine, sized for this requirement, generates 40 kWe and 700 kWth. The module assembly is nearly complete, and industrial commissioning is scheduled for late 2026.
Thank you to ALLICE and CETIAT for the organization and to Emmanuel B. for this joint presentation.
