Heat Recovery Systems

Heat Recovery Systems are designed to capture thermal energy from treated water or wastewater streams and reuse it for heating or industrial processes. By extracting heat from effluent or wastewater, these systems improve the overall energy efficiency of water treatment plants and reduce reliance on external energy sources. Heat recovery can be applied in various stages of the water cycle, offering sustainable solutions for both municipal and industrial water management.

1. Effluent Heat Recovery
• Extracts heat from treated wastewater before discharge, which can be reused in heating systems for buildings, industrial processes, or district heating.

2. Heat Exchangers in Wastewater Treatment
• Transfers heat between wastewater and clean water or other fluids, improving energy efficiency in processes like water reuse and sludge treatment.

3. Anaerobic Digestion Heat Recovery
• Captures heat produced during the anaerobic digestion process, which can be used to maintain optimal digestion temperatures or provide heating for facilities.

4. Thermal Energy Storage
• Stores heat captured from wastewater or effluent for later use in heating or cooling systems, providing a continuous energy supply.

5. Heat Recovery from Industrial Effluent
• Recovers heat from industrial wastewater streams, which can be reused within the same industrial processes, reducing overall energy consumption.

6. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Heat Recovery
• Recovers excess heat generated by CHP systems that use biogas from wastewater treatment, optimizing energy production for both electricity and heat.

7. Geothermal Heat Recovery from Effluent
• Utilizes the geothermal energy stored in wastewater for heating and cooling applications in treatment plants or nearby facilities.
