Coolbrook partners with Doncasters to manufacture RDH aerofoil castings
- Doncasters will manufacture complex aerofoil castings for Coolbrook's RotoDynamic Heater at its Chard, UK precision casting facility, with additional production planned across other Doncasters sites.
- The cooperation supports the first commercial-scale RDH deployment at Adani Cement's Boyareddypalli Integrated Cement Plant in India.
- Coolbrook's RotoDynamic Technology targets up to 30% (2.4 Gt) reduction in heavy-industry CO2, can reach temperatures up to 1700°C, and includes an RDR route for 100% CO2‑free olefin production.
Cooperation
Doncasters will manufacture complex aerofoil castings for Coolbrook's RotoDynamic Heater (RDH) to support the first commercial-scale deployment at Adani Cement's Boyareddypalli Integrated Cement Plant in India.
Manufacturing
Production will take place at Doncasters' precision casting facility in Chard, Somerset, UK, where investments include a new Shell line to expand capability for superalloy investment castings; additional output is planned across other Doncasters sites.
Technology and impact
Coolbrook's RotoDynamic Technology includes RDH for carbon-free process heating and RDR for olefin production; RDH targets decarbonisation of cement, iron & steel and chemical process heating, can reach temperatures up to 1700°C, and is projected to reduce heavy-industry CO2 emissions by up to 30% (2.4 Gt).
Operational requirements
Supplying high-precision aerofoil components is intended to meet the performance and reliability demands of high-temperature electrification systems as they move into continuous industrial operation.
