Heat recovery techniques such as recuperation and regeneration are widely applied to high temperature industrial heating processes for the purpose of increasing available heat and decreasing fuel consumption per unit of production.  Similarly, Oxi-fuel combustion increases available heat by eliminating a great portion of the products of combustion that can carry large amounts of energy away with them when discharged.  Historically, if a reduction in fuel costs or increase in productivity was sufficient to justify the cost of using these efficiency enhancing technologies and no adverse quality issues would result, they were adopted.

When using fossil fuels, the amount of CO2 produced is directly proportional to the amount of fuel burned.  Given today’s focus on decarbonization, the adoption of efficiency enhancing methods, such as those previously mentioned, have the additional justification of CO2 reduction to offset implementation and usage costs.  This session will include a review of these proven methods and their applicability to processes where fuel savings and/or production increases have not previously justified their implementation.
