LAYDE STEEL, S.L.U. has received a grant for its energy saving and efficiency project INCREASE ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE DECOATING LINE, through the NATIONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY FUND and managed by the INSTITUTE FOR ENERGY DIVERSIFICATION AND SAVING (IDAE), aid co-financed by the European Union through the ERDF Operational Programme for Intelligent Growth 2014-2020. An energy saving and efficiency project has been developed, consisting of improving the entry and exit part of the pickling line, adapting it to a width of 1,650mm, thus increasing both the energy and thermal efficiency of the entire line. The collaboration of the best equipment manufacturers in the sector has been required, which will provide us with great energy and environmental savings in the process, achieving an estimated saving of 168.68 toe/year.
