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.”
