Waste Heat Recovery Solutions for Industrial Plants
• Increasing energy prices and global concerns about green house gases and CO2 emissions are driving forces toward alternative energy sources.
• Besides widely recognized alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass, there is a huge potential in waste heat recovery.
• About 30% of the total energy consumption in US goes into industrial use.
• It is estimated that 20-50% of industrial energy consumption is released as waste heat to the atmosphere
• In some cases it is economically feasible to recover waste heat and convert into electricity.

Possible Industrial Waste Energy Sources
• Fuel fired furnaces (with hot combustion gases) such as Slab reheating furnaces, Cement Kilns, Glass furnaces
• Boilers and dryers• Stationary engines (such as Diesel generators)• Oil and gas pressure and reduction stations

How does it work?
• The heat from hot waste gases are transferred to a liquid media such as water/glycol mix by means of a gas to liquid heat exchanger.
• Refrigerant liquid with lower boiling temperature is used. Waste gas temperatures are typically not hot enough to generate dry steam.
• In a second heat exchanger the hot transfer liquid boils the refrigerant.
• Refrigerant vapors feed a turbine expander in a closed loop circuit.
• Turbine is coupled with a generator producing electricity.
• This is called Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)
