Did you know that…?

Waste heat

Waste heat

is one of the largest untapped energy sources – also in your industrial plant!

HeatRec© systems

HeatRec© systems

enable this energy to be recovered and used according to your needs.

We reduce CO2 emissions,

We reduce CO2 emissions,

and OPEX costs, as well as we increase efficiency of your processes.

Heat recovery technology

Almost every industrial plant generates waste heat in its production processes. Our HeatRec© industrial heat recovery systems enable you to manage wasted energy and use it according to your plant’s needs, while reducing CO2 emissions and lowering production costs.

HEAT/HEATING/DOMESTIC HOT WATER (DHW)

The most efficient way to manage waste heat is to reuse it in a process – to heat process gases or water, material, or in the drying process – thus reducing the need for externally supplied energy.

HeatRec© systems are also capable of using waste heat to heat domestic hot water or as a source of heating for your plant or surrounding infrastructure, including district heating networks.

+

ELECTRICITY

HeatRec© systems, through the use of modern and proven organic rankine cycle (ORC) modules, can be used to produce electricity to be employed in your facility. Unlike PV sources, these types of installations provide a stable source of cheap electricity, independent of the time of day or weather conditions.

+

COOL

Thanks to the use of special chillers, HeatRec© installations are able to generate cooling from recovered waste heat – whether you have a need to cool social areas, production halls or use the cold for process purposes.

Waste heat sources

We often do not realise how much of the equipment and installations in our production facility are sources of usable waste heat. Our experts can help identify such sources at your site.

HeatRec© waste heat recovery plants are a stable source of low-cost and green energy. We will effectively reduce your costs for electricity, natural gas or other heating fuels. In addition to the savings resulting from lower consumption, it is noteworthy that reduction of fixed costs, such as ordered power charges is also possible. Our systems do not adversely affect existing technology and infrastructure and do not require additional utilities, ongoing maintenance or frequent servicing – operating expenses (OPEX) are kept to a minimum.

Reusing heat that is currently wasted at your site can significantly increase the efficiency of energy-intensive production processes. Particularly when the recovered heat can be reused directly in the process – for instance by heating the furnace charge, air or process gases.

Our HeatRec© systems make enable reduction of your plant’s demand for electricity, thermal energy, steam, domestic and process hot water or cooling. Our customers also become independent of external suppliers of these utilities, which affects the security of their production and increases the certainty of continuity of supply.

Waste heat is treated as a renewable energy source (RES). It is also believed that due to increasing environmental restrictions and requirements, it should form a noticeable part of the energy mixture in developed economies in the coming years. Every 1 MWh of electricity generated from recovered waste heat represents approximately 650 kg of CO2 emission reduction. Even higher efficiencies can be achieved by reusing waste heat directly in the process or for heating purposes. We are proud of the positive impact of HeatRec© systems on the environment and the reduction of human-induced climate change.

HeatRec© waste heat recovery systems result in an increase in the energy efficiency of your facilities, with an option of obtaining so-called white certificates (energy efficiency certificates) on the investment completion. The white certificates obtained are tradable – they can be sold, thus improving the economic figures of the investment. Click for more details.

The use of HeatRec© heat recovery systems provides a positive effect on reducing the rate of wear and tear on the equipment and machinery that emit it, as well as on the associated facilities and installations (chimneys, filters, ventilation, steelwork, pipework, measuring equipment, etc.). Managing heat also means reducing its uncontrolled and unlabelled emissions, which significantly improves safety at your facility.
