What is Waste Heat Energy Recovery?
Industrial facilities release significant amounts of excess heat
into the atmosphere in the form of hot exhaust gases or
high-pressure steam. Energy recovery is the process of recovering
as much as two-thirds of that wasted energy and converting it into
usable heat energy or electricity, dramatically lowering energy
costs. Energy recovery systems are also capable of lowering heat
pollution and capturing harmful pollutants that would otherwise be
released into the environment. It is estimated that if energy
currently wasted by all the U.S. industrial facilities could be
recovered, it could produce power equivalent to 20% of U.S.
electricity generation capacity without burning any additional
fossil fuel, and could help many industries to meet stringent
environmental regulations.
