The Furanflex® system offers the possibility of Rehabilitate chimneys and flues of any shape, size and length without requiring extensive masonry work. Its installation process is extremely fast, allowing the internal reconstruction of the chimneys and their immediate use in a matter of hours.
Chimneys, both built and metallic, experience a continuous process of deterioration, which is attributable not so much to the materials used but rather to the high temperatures to which they are subjected.
Likewise, the chemical reactions derived from the products and processes of combustion, regardless of the type of fuel used, also contribute to this degradation process. Chimney repair involves a significant expense and, in many cases, is accompanied by masonry work and renovations that are annoying and expensive.
The Furanflex® method involves inserting a thermosetting lining made of a composite material into the old duct. Water vapor is then injected, causing the coating to conform to the walls of the duct. Once the duct expands, the catalyzing process begins and within a few hours, the coating is completely hardened and ready for use.
The system is integrated without splices and guarantees total airtightness. Adapts to the shape and trajectory of the original duct. With a thickness of between 3 and 5 mm, the diameter of the primary duct is minimally reduced, which does not affect the chimney draft. Its hardness is comparable to that of steel, being non-combustible, resistant to corrosion and with a heat resistance capacity of up to 1.000 degrees Celsius.

The Spanish Biomass Association, AVEBIOM, is the only association that since 2004 brings together the main economic actors in the bioenergy sector throughout the entire value chain, and whose objective is to promote the development of this business sector in Spain and contribute to increasing the consumption of biomass for energy purposes in a sustainable way.
On May 9, 10 and 11, he celebrated EXPOBIOMASA in Valladolid, the sector event that revitalizes like no other the marketing of pellet production equipment and other solid biofuels for sustainable heat generation as a measure to combat climate change and in favor of the decarbonization of energy and the bioeconomy. There have been 9.596 professional visitors, of which 85% come from outside the Valladolid province, with more than a thousand coming from other countries.
Subsequently, on October 3 and 4, the III Renewable Gas Show, in collaboration with the Spanish Biogas Association and numerous public and private entities. The result is that they doubled the participation figures of the previous edition: 3.162 Spanish professional visitors and 432 international professionals. This event tries to accelerate the start-up of projects for new biomethane production plants in Spain.
In parallel to the Hall, the 16th International Bioenergy Congress, which with 792 registered has turned Valladolid into the nerve center of a new sector that perfectly meets the postulates of the cities climate neutral.
The city of Pisuerga is positioned as the headquarters of numerous initiatives linked to bioenergy, which today provides 60% of all renewable energy consumed in Europe, more than other renewable energies combined. In fact, the Valladolid City Council considers collaboration in the activities carried out by AVEBIOM to be of utmost interest, due to their business, professional and technological nature and because it is a measure of support for the energy transition of the productive fabric, and in particular of the industrial sector of the city.
The Valladolid City Council works to promote innovation policies and support the knowledge economy, to support entrepreneurship and companies, with strategic projects to attract investment and the internationalization of the city, in addition to promoting economic cooperation relations. and commercial as well as relations with institutions and associations of an economic and commercial nature.
An action that has been key to promoting these policies has been the collaboration that exists between the City Council of Valladolid and the Spanish Biomass Association to carry out activities to promote bioenergy. In fact, the Spanish Biomass Association publicly recognized in the three events that the success of the calls is due in part to the collaboration between the association itself and the Valladolid City Council.

Diflux Pellets installation kits allow you to solve installations for the evacuation of combustion products from sealed pellet appliances combining:
- Aesthetics and space optimization of the concentric fireplace
- Quick and easy selection and installation through kit format
- Energy efficiency of the waterproof installation
Interview conducted at Expobiomasa 2023
With the modular range of two concentric walls Diflux Pellets, it is possible to combine in a single chimney, optimizing cost and space, the evacuation of combustion products and the supply of air to sealed pellet stoves and boilers. These devices, unlike the conventional atmospheric ones that take air for combustion from the room in which they are located, take it from outside, thus avoiding the need to renew the air in the room and the consequent loss of heat , achieving a more energy efficient installation.
The Diflux Pellets range has a wide variety of installation kits that allow to solve, quickly and easily, chimney installations for combustion products of sealed pellet appliances, facilitating the selection of the necessary chimney and optimizing space and cost through the kit format.
The kits include the necessary parts to cover all the possible chimney configurations that we can find:
- Smoke outlets positioned both at the rear and at the top of the appliance.
- Possibility of connecting to a pipe, accessing both through the ceiling and through the wall at different heights.
- For stoves and boilers for both condensation and dry operation.
- Specific kits for terminals.
- Kits in both stainless and lacquered finishes.

El DUOTHERM device It allows you to regulate different heating circuits with the same or different temperatures directly from the boiler without the need for a 3-way mixing valve. Each circuit is regulated to the temperature of our needs and a different time schedule can be made. It consists of two positions:
- “Radiators” position: the 2 heating circuits have the same temperature and the temperature curves are superimposed.
- “Underfloor heating” position: allows the creation of a second “virtual” water path, thus obtaining two circuits at different temperatures.
El STOP-THERM device allows the return of heating at temperatures below 55ºC. It separates, by means of a perforated plate, two zones of water at different temperatures. The first zone, around the perimeter of the combustion chamber, will always remain at a temperature of 60ºC, while the second zone, called the mixing chamber, will change according to the needs of the installation. This transmission of energy is carried out by thermosiphon. Thanks to this device we avoid the formation of condensation and any type of corrosion, thus extending the useful life of the boiler, without the need to install a 3-way valve. Its main features are:
- anti-corrosion device
- No return temperature limitation.
- Temperature adjusted to the needs.
- Up to 30% energy savings.

The Spanish manufacturer of reference in the market for ducts, tubes and chimneys presents on this occasion, the finishing for chimneys with a rotating system that simultaneously prevents the entry of rainwater and the negative effects of the wind. The turning mechanism is outside the area of contact with the smoke, thus avoiding the deterioration of this mechanism by the action of the smoke.
Its design has a vane that is automatically oriented by the action of the wind, in the appropriate direction, to simultaneously prevent the entry of rainwater and the negative effects of the wind.
In this way, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the chimney, and with it, the problems or inconvenience that it could cause due to its collection or access to the stove connected to the chimney. In addition, it is possible to avoid anomalies or draft problems and smoke plastering caused by the wind.
A fundamental advantage provided by this design is the high durability and maintenance-free turning mechanism. This is due to the fact that it is located outside the area of contact with the smoke, just above the hood, thus avoiding the deterioration of this mechanism by the action of the smoke.
CONVESA will be on May 9,10, 11 and 2023 at EXPOBIOMASA XNUMX

Thanks to total combustion, it is extraordinarily efficient and produces emissions that comply with even the most restrictive regulations, in addition to reducing ash production by 70%. The self-cleaning brazier and the "speedy clean" system simplify cleaning.
The new pellet stove Vivienne adopt the T3 platform which comes to be a concentrate of cutting-edge technologies that guarantees numerous advantages compared to traditional pellet stoves.
- TOTAL COMBUSTION: through the complete combustion of the pellets and the cyclical recombustion of the ashes, the calorific power of the fuel is used to the maximum, obtaining very high yields and drastically reducing waste (up to 70%). This translates into a considerable advantage for users, who will be able to empty the brazier less frequently and will only have the minerals contained in the pellets as residue, which will no longer be able to provide energy.
- SELF-CLEANING BRAZIER: system capable of keeping the brazier clean independently, thus guaranteeing a longer duration and constant performance over time.
- EXCHANGER WITH 4 SMOKE PIPES: the careful study of the geometry of the exchanger makes it possible to achieve a high power (13 kW), to simplify cleaning operations while maintaining a small size of the hearth (diameter 58 cm).
- QUICK CLEANING: possibility of carrying out cleaning operations in an extremely simple way and without the need to disassemble any component.
- AIR PRO - Can accommodate up to 3 independent fans to distribute heat evenly throughout the home.
- ZERO SPEED FAN: possibility of excluding all ventilation to enjoy natural heating with greater acoustic comfort and reducing energy consumption.
