Abstract

Mo.nalis.a is a conceptual model aimed atidentifying the most suitable local geothermal sourcesto match the nearest industrial thermal needs. The methodologicalapproach proposed is based on investigatingindustrial thermal processes and then identifying suitablegeothermal solution plants that match these thermalrequirements. The model was tested in Apulia (southernItaly) as a case study for assessing how the methodologycould contribute to reducing the use of conventionalenergy resources for the industrial heat supply sector.The medium thermal needs in Apulia are always higherthan 60 °C, and the main strategic industrial processesdiscussed into this work are Bpasta and flour production^Bwastewater treatment/sludge digestion^ and Bswimmingpool management^. In order to match these industrialthermal demands, the most suitable proposed plant isthe ground water heat pump system, limited to the first100 m, the depth involved in the heat exchange throughvertical probes of model. Finally,Mo.nalis.a identifies theApulian areas with a possible development of these threeactivities using geothermal resource: the Foggia province,Murge and Salento sectors.
