Tabreed is a leader in sustainable cooling , which has earned them the District Cooling Initiative of the Year – UAE and Geothermal Power Project of the Year – Gold honours at the Asian Power Awards 2024 . The company won two awards for its initiatives in renewable energy and game-changing efficiencies . District cooling represents a significant advancement over traditional cooling methods and Tabreed , the leading district cooling company , embodies a commitment to sustainability which drives its focus on energy efficiency . The company recently completed a pioneering pilot study at one of its Abu Dhabi district cooling plants in collaboration with Ireland ’ s HT Materials Science ( HTMS ), to explore the potential of a revolutionary nanofluid technology known as Maxwell , which has

been engineered to enhance heat transfer . Tabreed discovered that by replacing just 2 % of the heat transfer fluid with Maxwell , it achieved an impressive increase in cooling system efficiency of approximately 15 %. Maxwell is named after James Clerk Maxwell , the pioneering scientist who first developed the concept of nanofluids . Maxwell is an engineered suspension of submicron aluminium oxide particles in a base fluid of water or water / glycol (‘ nanofluid ’) – a drop-in additive for cooling and heating systems that works by enhancing heat transfer efficiency in cooling systems without requiring complex tools or equipment replacement . For Tabreed ’ s plant used in the pilot study , this meant replacing only 2.94 cubic metres of the system fluid with the nanofluid .

Alleima started the expansion of its Mehsana manufacturing facility in India in 2019 . Now , the final phase of the project is fully completed and operational , with the formal launch of a new heat exchanger tube factory . This new facility will enhance the capacity and capabilities of the production unit to produce advanced alloys in application tubing like heat exchanger tubes for critical applications in the Chemical and Petrochemical as well as the Renewable Energy segment . India currently stands as a global economic bright spot , emerging as a key player across various sectors . This growth is driving a significantly increased domestic demand for chemical and petrochemical products , the rapid transition towards renewables , and an increased shift towards localization of manufacturing .

On November 23 , 2023 , Alleima officially launched its state-of-theart heat exchanger facility in its mill located in Mehsana , Gujarat . This new facility will enable Alleima to produce advanced alloys in heat exchanger tubing locally to meet the increasing demand for the high valued added tubes to India ’ s chemical and petrochemical , renewable , and other industrial segments . It will also serve as a production base for exports to other parts of Asia . This signifies a major milestone for Alleima in India , as with the completion of its Hydraulic and Instrumentation ( H & I ) facility earlier this year , the Mehsana mill has now completed its three-phase expansion in production capacity and infrastructure . The total investment between 2019-2023 amounts to 180 MSEK .
