Consorcio Instituto Tecnolóxico de Matemática Industrial
03 Sep 2020
The Technological Institute for Industrial Mathematics (ITMATI) provides advanced solutions for productive sectors of society, especially businesses, industries and the public administration. Our main function is to transfer mathematical technology to help improve competitiveness and support innovation in the productive sector.
ITMATI is a public consortium in which the three Galician universities participate. Its main aim is to become a centre of technological research of international reference in the field of Industrial Mathematics. In addition to its own staff, nine research groups in Industrial Mathematics from the 3 Galician universities collaborate with us. These groups have extensive experience and recognized expertise in the development of solutions for the business world, either independently, in collaboration with companies or with research groups in other fields.
We offer our customers research and development tailored to provide solutions specific to their unique needs. Confidentiality of the work performed can be assured, and is based on customer requirements. In addition, we also collaborate in seeking funding, protecting the results, and can advise the client on the best ways to commercialise the results.
According to its previous experience, the research group from ITMATI is willing to participate in the numerical simulation tasks of the project related with both the furnaces and the subsequent solidification (casting) processes.
The main responsibility for ITMATI in SisAl Pilot is to provide a model-based support to the pilot at FRey in WP2 in terms reactions in the induction furnace and segregation of the different element, in particular the silicon, during the liquid cooling and also the dynamic chemical reactions in the Befesa process.
