WASTE HEAT RECOVERY
Heat recovery for the reduction of fuel consumption and related emissions. We design, build and operate Waste Heat Recovery systems for the exploitation of the residual thermal content of process fluids and industrial waste, such as flue gas and cooling water, for the generation of useful energy (thermal, electrical, cooling)
BENEFITS
- Energy consumption reduction
- Emission reduction
- Low interference with production processand existing systems
- Long useful life cycle
- Increase in production capacity
- Opportunity to get benefit from white certificate scheme
