Remember our water recovery challenge?

Pladur challenge Ennomotive to bring an effective solution to improve their manufacturing process.

Plasterboard is made from gypsum mineral treated with a complex process, consuming a lot of water that is finally evaporated during calcine and drying.

The challenge was launched with a description of the manufacturing process, energy consumption data and technical stuff.

Participants´countries

34 participants from 10 countries (Germany, India, Jordan, Mexico…) accepted Pladur´s challenge and, finally, more than 15 presented their solutions!

Engineering students, academia, freelancers and companies from India, Spain, United States and Sweden competed at semifinals! Amazing don’t you think?

Proposed solutions reuse technologies coming  from diverse industries such as thermosolar or nuclear energy and other manufacturing.
