Where can I buy industrial high-temperature waste heat?
Thread Content
Hello everyone. Our thermal energy storage unit needs to collect industrial waste heat at around 500 degrees Celsius. This storage unit is mobile. So, do factories that generate high-temperature waste heat (around 500 degrees Celsius) sell this waste heat? How is the price of waste heat calculated? Has anyone in the group worked on this before? Thank you
I’m afraid it’s not easy to find such a place; usually, a waste heat recovery system is already in place. You might want to look in the direction of the blast furnaces in smelting plants and the RTOs in chemical plants.
Thank you. We contacted ceramic factories, and they already have systems in place for recycling. There are no steel factories in our area, and the cement factories are too far away. The chemical plants nearby do not have high enough temperatures, so it’s difficult to find suitable ones.
