SaltX has been granted a patent for its electric calciner technology, EAC (Electric Arc Calciner)
SaltX Technology has developed an electrified solution for the industrial process of calcination. Calcination means that material is modified by heating to very high temperatures to change its properties—a method used, among other things, to manufacture lime and cement. The company has now been granted a patent for its electric calcination technology in Sweden.The technical solution, EAC (Electric Arc Calciner), replaces fossil fuels with renewable electricity and isolates the carbon dioxide released from the material during heating. The innovation provides an entirely emission-free
