With the high cost and environmental impact of fossil fuels, heat energy is a precious commodity that cannot be wasted. Any exhaust gas stream with temperatures above 250°F has the potential for significant waste heat recovery.
Heat energy consumers can be found in almost any facility and are easy to locate. Typical examples include plant process heating, combustion air pre-heating, boiler feedwater pre-heating, and building heat.
In addition to saving in every day fuel consumption, many facilities can market and sell carbon credits back to industry. With current fuel prices and the sale of carbon credits, system payback can often be realized in less than 1 year.
