Activity and Skills

ARRAELA is a technology company located in Galicia, with a strong focus on materials research and subsequent development of Systems based on them in two main areas, NUCLEAR and ENERGY.

In the NUCLEAR area we have developed highly efficient, as well as highly competitive, shielding materials and structural capabilities, which position us as leaders in the X-ray, ɣ and Neutron Radioprotection market. A latest development carried out has made it possible to bring to market a highly effective construction material as a RADON barrier similar to membranes but without the problems of the risk of perforation, among other advantages. In the ENERGY area, developments have focused on the Productive Circle based on the use of energy:
- Energy capture
- Thermal storage
- Transport of stored heat
- Energy extraction and exchange.
- Incorporation into the energy process

In this way, we have achieved good thermal energy capture with a self-developed material with high absorptivity and high conductivity, allowing the delivery of the captured energy.

On the other hand, we have developed excellent materials that allow us a good thermal accumulation of up to 1MWt/m3 of material, with excellent thermal conductivity in such a way that it allows the use of air as a heating fluid, and working ranges of up to 700ºC, based on Sensible Heat, competitive and simple engineering that allows the transport of the captured and accumulated energy.
