KERASAN Investe NEL VERDE

Start of a collaboration with the University of Tuscia.

In early summer 2012 Viterbo in the “EU Sustainable Energy Week” was presented the research project that sees Kerasan-historical company in the ceramic pole of Civita Castellana- engaged in the study of solutions to reduce the environmental impact of the products and the processing cycle.

In the presence of Renata Polverini, President of the Lazio Region- and Professor Marco Mancini-Chancellor of the University of Tuscia- the general manager Roberto Kerasan Banditelli officially announced the investment of 300.000 € in the field of “Reduction in consumption of the production cycle mediated application of sustainable energy systems”.

The funding RESEARCH CO-ERDF 2007-2013 Lazio Region has been bestowed for the development, within two years, of a project by 900.00 € CIRDER in collaboration with the Centre for the Study and Dissemination of Renewable Energy at the University of Tuscia for the optimization of the production cycle and the implementation of health care to low water consumption.

“Ceramic companies require large amounts of energy, but we are working to minimize the environmental impact of production” explains Roberto Banditelli “for this in the next few years will be re-thought the entire production cycle”. Together with CIRDER and the Nexus Group of Civita Castellana specializes in the design of industrial plants- Kerasan studying technologies that increase production efficiency, optimize energy consumption and reduce waste.

The research project also involves products: the second objective is in fact lowers the amount of water needed for the discharge of vessels. I sanitari, according to the European, now with downloading 6-9 liters of water: Kerasan research aims to achieve vessels that discharge with only 4 liters.

The decision to invest on research and development is for Roberto Banditelli a real response to the difficult period of the district of Civita Castellana, “to combine the wisdom of traditional ceramic technological innovation! The synergy with the University of Tuscia will allow us to quickly develop the first ceramic green and made in Italy.” conclude Roberto Banditelli. With him follow the project engineer Stefano Ferrelli and Dr. Gianluca Palumbo.
