SMEs discover the potential of the Barcelona Synchrotron Park
        SMEs discover the potential of the Barcelona Synchrotron Park
                                        The 20-person delegation representing different SMEs from the cities of Granollers and Montmeló that visited this week the ALBA synchrotron could see how this singular facility does not only serve the international scientific community: this electron accelerator that produces radiations used to observe the inner structure of materials is an infrastructure also useful and accessible to companies.
Actually, the ALBA industrial liaison office aims precisely at making companies know and use the wide range of unique material characterization tools ALBA offers to improve industrial processes and develop new products in very different sectors such as food, health, energy or nanotechnology.
The delegation also had the opportunity to discover the polygeneration power plant (photo): in order to reduce the environmental impact of its urban development, the Barcelona Synchrotron Park has designed and built a centralized heating and cooling system based on high efficiency polygeneration technologies that allow the simultaneous production of electricity (for ALBA) and heating and cooling distributed throughout the park. This approach helps reduce primary consumption and CO2 emission by 35% compared to conventional air-conditioning systems installed in each company.
This outsourced service allows companies to concentrate on their business, reduce their initial investment and the physical space to allocate to bulky equipment, reduce of some 20% the associated operating and maintenance costs and give flexibility if energy requirements change.
