Abstract
Industrial processes are often accompanied by energy losses. These energy losses can be in the form of exhaust gas or effluents occurring at different temperature levels. All these losses are being curbed, but with an economic disadvantage. However, with the application of various waste heat recovery technologies such as heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and waste heat boiler (WHB), this lost energy, mainly associated with the exhaust gas, can be recaptured and reused, thus resulting in better energy efficiency. This is also a firm step towards the protection of the environment and other associated gains like small plant size, less power consumption, less water consumption, etc. In this regard, the present paper revisits and reviews the current technology and practices in the context of HRSG and WHB. The future technological needs in this field have also been highlighted.
期刊介绍:
The journal Energy Efficiency covers wide-ranging aspects of energy efficiency in the residential, tertiary, industrial and transport sectors. Coverage includes a number of different topics and disciplines including energy efficiency policies at local, regional, national and international levels; long term impact of energy efficiency; technologies to improve energy efficiency; consumer behavior and the dynamics of consumption; socio-economic impacts of energy efficiency measures; energy efficiency as a virtual utility; transportation issues; building issues; energy management systems and energy services; energy planning and risk assessment; energy efficiency in developing countries and economies in transition; non-energy benefits of energy efficiency and opportunities for policy integration; energy education and training, and emerging technologies. See Aims and Scope for more details.
