Energy recovery

Heat recovery from condensation is a process that allows for the reuse of heat carried by moist flue gases generated by the combustion of coal, waste, or biomass in industrial facilities. This process is particularly useful in power plants, district heating plants, cement kilns, paper mills, waste incinerators, and in all other industrial sectors where heat is otherwise lost. The recovery technology involves the contact of hot flue gases with cooling water in condensation scrubbers, resulting in the cooling of the gases and the condensation of moisture contained in them. Condensation is a highly energy-intensive process, significantly increasing the overall thermal efficiency of the installations.

The recovered heat from condensation is transferred through heat exchangers to the end user, such as a district heating network, while the condensate obtained in the condensation process is subjected to purification. The purified condensate is characterized by high purity and can be used for other processes, serving as a substitute for other water sources, such as network water.
