EnerViT: efficient and H2 ready

Keramischer OFENBAU is charting a course towards the hydrogen-powered kiln of the future. Called EnerViT H2 ready, the system brings immediate energy savings and emission reductions while preparing for the future transition to 100% green hydrogen.

The profound changes that have occurred in global energy systems and supply chains in recent years coupled with rising prices have presented multiple challenges to companies around the world. The ceramic industry is no exception and has had to adapt rapidly to the new scenario. The ceramic kiln specialist Keramischer OFENBAU supplies energy-efficient, reliable and future-ready systems capable of meeting today's needs.

It has adopted a proactive approach for decades and is now able to offer revolutionary solutions such as the EnerViT system, a technology that was first brought to market ten years ago but is being constantly improved and adapted to exceed the state of the art.

EnerViT systems can be deployed in new kilns but also have great potential for modernising existing kilns with energy savings of up to 50%. The combination of maintenance-friendly firing technologies and ZrO Lambda measuring technology allows for increased performance while reducing consumption and emissions.

Whether it is used for firing sanitaryware, tableware or technical or structural ceramics, a new high-efficiency kiln equipped with EnerViT can replace up to three existing kilns, guaranteeing reliability and the highest level of quality in the firing process.

Thanks to the expertise and many years of experience of its technical team, Keramischer OFENBAU is able to meet any production requirement. The success of EnerViT is further prompting the company to further intensify its commitment to innovation and establish ever new benchmarks.

Although energy efficient kilns are a step in the right direction, the kilns of the future will be carbon neutral. Depending on the user's needs, Keramischer OFENBAU also builds kilns with alternative forms of heating, such as electric. But as the electrification of existing plants is not always feasible or desirable, the German company has begun the journey towards a hydrogen-powered kiln. The EnerViT H2 ready system brings immediate energy savings and emission reductions while preparing for the future transition to 100% green hydrogen. With hydrogen available on site, small adaptations will make the kiln both highly efficient and carbon neutral.

Keramischer OFENBAU sets new energy standards by achieving an optimal balance between energy and economic efficiency as well as maintaining a strong focus on sustainability. It is involved in a number of research projects with a variety of partners aimed at transforming classic gas-powered processes into solutions based on alternative energy supplies – from biogas to pure hydrogen – and electric heating. By making intelligent use of innovative technologies and weight-optimised materials, the highly efficient kilns from Keramischer OFENBAU minimise fossil fuel consumption, thereby helping to protect the environment while increasing added value and energy security for users.

Efficiency and innovation go hand in hand with a focus on customer service. Following individual consultation, Keramischer OFENBAU offers high-quality, future-proof implementation with expertise, reliability and transparency.
