Waste Heat Recovery Systems Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Application (Preheating, Power Generation, Steam Generation, Others), By End-User Industry (Chemical, Petroleum Refinery, Heavy Metal Manufacturing, Fertilizer and Pesticide, Paper & Pulp, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The treatment and recovery of industrial waste are one of the primary concerns of the various manufacturing industries. To tackle the problem, companies have introduced a range of products and systems related to the treatment and recovery of industrial wastes and recovery of energy from the industrial wastes. Some of the products and services include effluent treatment plant, waste heat recovery system, and flue gas desulphurization system, among others. Waste heat recovery system is generally used to trap or recover the heat escaping along with the wastewater, air, or other products. This process allows a company to recover heat and utilize it for different operations.

By application, the waste heat recovery system is used to provide heat for preheating process, power generation, steam generation, among others. End-use industries for waste heat recovery systems are chemical, petroleum refinery, heavy metal manufacturing, fertilizer & pesticide, paper & pulp industry among others.

Waste heat recovery systems generally trap the heat from the waste output of the processes. The heat trapped is utilized for preheating of different utilities such as air or water which helps in reducing the energy and heating cost of the process and is expected to aid in creating a platform for the growth of the waste heat recovery system market in coming years. Growth in the global chemical industry is also expected to drive the waste heat recovery system market in the near future owing to the high heat recovery potential possessed by the flue gases in the chemical industry.

The heat recovered from output such as cooling water has low quality or low temperature and cannot provide required heating efficiency. Owing to this, the waste heat recovery systems market is expected to have a negative impact on its future growth.

Key Industry Developments

• In June 2019, Ultratech Cement Limited has announced its plan to generate around 25% of its required energy from renewable sources. In order to accomplish the target, the company has planned to increase the waste heat recovery system.
• In May 2019, Clean Energy Technologies Inc. installed two power generators in the Marshalls Energy Company that generate power from the heat source. The system installed traps the waste heat from different sources and converts it to the electricity.
• In December 2018, Raysut Cement, a cement manufacturer based in Oman awarded a contract to Simona Overseas Development Co for installing a waste heat recovery system. Installation of the new system is expected to save up to 30% of the energy loss of the company.
