Waste Heat Recovery Systems

 

Retrofitted Waste Heat Recovery System designed, supplied and installed by Design Boiler.

It was the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970’s that forced industry to become more energy efficient and invest in low grade heat recovery systems. Following this global event it was soon realized that the cost saving engineering strategies utilized in the design of waste heat recovery systems also produced significant benefits for the environment.

Design Boiler, for many years has designed waste heat recovery systems for gas turbines, reciprocating engines and general process gas streams within marine and onshore applications. We have designed systems in oil refineries, oil tankers and off shore facilities, steel works, timber and food  processing plants using a variety of conveying media including thermal oil and heated product streams.

Our software provides a means of quickly assessing a waste heat opportunity and if viable is able to generate a working thermal design.

Case studies demonstrating these capabilities are:
