Implementation of a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system enables the sustainable meeting of both electricity and thermal energy demands, promoting a balanced approach to energy consumption. Furthermore, the integration of effective energy recovery devices captures and reuses lost energy, resulting in a significant enhancement of production efficiency.

• Interconnection & Parameter Design

In the domain of interconnection and parameter design, Pleroma adopts a meticulous approach to maximize performance efficiency. Established technologies and proven components ensure reliable operation, while innovative interconnection and parameter design techniques push the boundaries of efficiency. Each parameter is carefully fine-tuned to optimize individual processes, fostering a well-coordinated and highly efficient workflow. Additionally, intelligent automation systems enable real-time monitoring and parameter adjustments, ensuring adaptability to changing production conditions.

• Brine Treatment & Concentration

This project's commitment to resource efficiency and product quality is exemplified in its innovative brine treatment and concentration methods. Recognizing the significance of concentrated brine as crucial raw materials, the project pioneers solutions to achieve specific concentration levels with minimal energy consumption. Dedicated brine concentration devices play a pivotal role in reducing energy consumption while optimizing brine conditions for enhanced mining efficiency. Moreover, preemptive brine separation processes further elevate efficiency by effectively separating larger magnesium particles and smaller sodium, potassium, and chloride ions.

This seawater multi-processing project represents a paradigm shift in seawater resource utilization, bridging the gap between upstream and downstream industries with unprecedented efficiency and foresight. By interconnecting multiple production processes through innovation in configuration designs, the project unlocks new opportunities for value creation, producing not only 10 highly valuable products but also positioning for future expansion to offer up to 21 products in total.

This strategic approach maximizes economic benefits while minimizing environmental impact from the seawater resource utilization practice, demonstrating its commitment to pioneering innovative solutions that propel both industry advancement and sustainable progress.
