FLU-ACE Boiler Exhaust Heat Recovery Tower
Thermal Energy International (TEI) implemented a FLU-ACE Condensing Heat Recovery System on the plant’s boiler exhaust. The system was designed to recover up to 5.3 GJ/hour of waste heat energy that would otherwise be exhausted to the atmosphere. The recovered heat, in the form of water at 60°C, is used to heat and preheat:
-
Boiler plant make up water
-
Plant hot water (CIP & wash water)
The project delivers significant annual energy cost savings of over £322,000 and a fuel use reduction of up to 25%.
In addition it provides the benefits of:
-
Increase of the overall efficiency of the boilers to 96%;
- Proportional reduction (over 10%) in all combustion related
emissions and greenhouse gases; -
Reduction of particulate and acid gas emissions; and
-
Recovery of 80 to 90% of the waste heat.
Implemented on a Turn-key basis, the project was completed on budget and on schedule, with a verified payback under 2 years.
