Our vision
Our vision is to revitalize and revolutionize the U.S. industrial sector using clean electricity with cost-effective, high-impact solutions created by our public-private partnership of scientists, engineers and technology developers, community organizations and labor unions. Electric heating is economical and supports a more resilient, capable manufacturing industry everywhere for everyone.
Our process
EPIXC is a catalyst for overcoming key barriers to electric heating adoption in manufacturing processes by advancing electric heating technologies, at a systems level, by reducing the levelized cost of electric heat.
Transition from a conventional heating process to a electrified process can be more complicated than one-to-one replacement of the heater. There may be advantages/disadvantages with respect to raw materials flexibility or product quality, energy efficiency, number or needed parts, maintenance etc. The example below depicts a possible change when replacing a conventional boiler with an electric boiler.”
Traditional process
- Fired furnace reactor.
- Feed effluent heat exchanger.
- Heat recovery.
- Separator.
Electrified process
- Electrified reactor.
- Feed effluent heat exchanger.
- Electric boiler.
- Separator.
