CARTIF PROJECTS
DISCOBOLO
Perfection of hot and cold lamination
Description
The DISCOBOLO project, “Identifying Disc of Defects in Active Surfaces”, was co-financed by the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, through the 2016 COLLABORATION CHALLENGES call. The consortium of the project is formed by CARTIF, ISEND, RUGUI and Tremefil-Izaguirre.
Nowadays in hot and cold lamination of “long” elements only the detection of punctual defects are made, not longitudinal defects. Therefore, the technological leap and the differentiating key of future products is to detect both, punctual and longitudinal defects on the production of flat steel in the rolling process, either the cold or hot process.
Objectives
- The main objective of the project is the detection of punctual and longitudinal defects on the production of flat steel in the rolling process, whether the process is cold or hot by induced currents.
- The strategic objective was to develop products that enhance quality, efficiency and business competitiveness within the steel sector, providing them with innovative tools that are key to commercial success in both, the national and international markets, within the steel sector.
Actions
- Two prototypes have been developed, one for each lamination process (cold and hot lamination). Both teams are based on the detection by means of induced currents and a flat rotating disk that detects and classifies the surface defects of the flat product, to detect both point and longitudinal defects.
Expected Results
- Detection of defects, detecting the different classes of existing defects and classifying existing defects on the surface of the flat product.
- Reduction of the costs derived from quality control systems which can eliminate any defective product. The system only detect the defects without repairing it, to use it in products which can meet less demanding specifications.
- Offer a high added value rolling train maintenance service for induced current inspection systems, since the production inspection system can be used to detect anomalies in the rolling train.
- Elimination of any cold inspection after hot rolling, this type of inspection being out of line it can be very expensive.

Circular Economy Projects:
LIFE VALPORC
The goal of the LIFE + VALPORC is to demonstrate a sustainable alternative to the management of pig carcasses and manure, focusing on the environmental problems derived from its current management and valorizing these wastes by transforming them into biofuels (biogas and biodiesel) and organic fertilizers,
LIFE SMART Hospital
The LIFE SMART Hospital Project has promoted the sustainability of the health sector through the deployment of best practices and available technologies, training programs and replication of experience.
VALOR-PLUS
The VALOR-PLUS supports the realisation of sustainable, economically viable closed loop integrated biorefineries through the development of new knowledge, (bio-)technologies and products that enable valorisation of key biorefinery by-products.
LIFE COLRECEPS
The main objective of the COLRECEPS project is the implementation of a prototype demonstration plant to recycle residual EPS and obtain EPS beads. With these pearls, new recycled EPS prototype products will be manufactured.
LIFE REVAWASTE
The LIFE REVAWASTE project (www.revawaste.eu) was born proposing the sustainable management of a broad spectrum of waste in an integrated plant or “Mixed Plant”.
LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY
The LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY Project consists of the pyrolysis of eucalyptus biomass for the production of electricity and biochar. It is intended to make use of the residual biomass of eucalyptus forest exploitation.
RECALZA
RECALZA proposes to develop a chemical recycling process of the generated polyurethane foam residues, to obtain the polyol again and re-manufacture new products (recycled soles) that meet the requirements for the footwear sector.
CONREPOL
The CONREPOL project will evaluate both chemical procedures based on the use of compounds that increase the surface polarity (silane coupling agents) of the waste and physical treatments with the same objective.
GREEN-CAR
The GREEN CAR ecodesign Project applies the ecodesign methodology to several components of the “electric vehicle” system: batteries, converter, charging points, conditioning systems and auxiliary systems from renewable sources
LIFE RESCATAME
RESCATAME represents a new system for the sustainable management of traffic through the use of models that predict pollution levels, which are supported by data collected by the network of air quality sensors, and that can help to execute a rapid action.
BIOREFINERÍA FT
The FT BIOREFINERY Project consists in developing a technology that allows obtaining 2nd generation liquid biofuels (synthetic diesel) and electrical energy, through the application of gasification and co-gasification processes, of different types of solid and / or liquid waste ( herbaceous biomass, lignocellulosic, glycerin, etc.)
BIALEMA
BIALEMA: RED for the production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment. Conducted by Dr. Antonio Francisco Valdes Delgado (CUBAENERGIA).
BIORECOS
The BIORECOS Project aims to design and build a demonstration plant of a modular nature that allows, through pyrolysis, the production of charcoal and / or active coal, as well as the generation of electrical energy.
ENHANCE HEALTH
The ENHANCE HEALTH project focuses on environmental and health concerns related to air pollution produced by industries and waste incinerators in urban areas.
