Does it make sense to add secondary heat recovery systems to your thermal process to capture and repurpose the BTUs you have created before they escape out the top of the stack? An economic analysis can help you determine whether it is justified at your plant.
Secondary heat recovery systems capture excess energy in the exhaust stream of processes or oxidizers. On the surface, heat recovery makes good sense: Capture the waste energy and repurpose it rather than throwing it out an exhaust stack. The concept sounds relatively straightforward. As with most things, however, the proof lies in the details.
Is it possible to minimize operating costs for industrial thermal processing equipment while maximizing productivity in combination drying and oxidizing systems?
