Heat Recovery Systems
For corrosive and fouling flue gas and exhaust air
Page last modified
April 11 2024
Up to 20% of all heat generated by the industry is lost via flue gas or exhaust air. Concerns around corrosion and fouling often prevent industrial companies to recover additional waste heat.
HeatMatrix Group developed heat exchangers with patented Polymer Technology, that enable heat recovery from corrosive and/or fouling flue and exhaust gases. The recovered heat can be used to warm up combustion air or water.
Pros & Limitations
1
Additonal heat recovery from corrosive or fouling flue gas
1
Reduce CO2 emissions
1
Decrease fuel costs
1
Prevent Corrosion & Fouling problems
1
Payback time less than 5 years
0
The polymers have a maximum flue gas temperature they can handle. Above 250 degrees the polymer heat exchanger is installed in combination with a metal heat exchanger
