The technique of extracting residual heat from an existing industrial process and repurposing it for other purposes is known as heat recovery. The energy created by numerous industrial operations is referred to as waste heat. Heat recovery technologies aid in the reduction of operating expenses by increasing the energy productivity of facilities. The energy recovered during this process is employed in two key applications: steam and power generation, as well as preheating.

These heat recovery systems are one of the most cost-effective solutions to improve a plant's overall efficiency while minimizing fuel consumption. Due to the constraints of power conversion processes, a large portion of the fuel utilized to generate electricity in conventional power plants is squandered. Exhaust gases from many operations contain a significant quantity of energy, often known as waste heat. Industrial processes frequently create enough waste heat to power a generator.

Furthermore, pre-heating of combustion air, pre-heating of boiler feed water, ORC generators, plant process heating, steam ejectors, and building comfort heat are all users of waste heat recovery systems. Waste heat is frequently of low temperature quality. It can be tough to make the most of the heat available. In these situations, the ORC driven technology can provide an added benefit by increasing plant efficiency. The unit of ORC turns this otherwise lost energy into electricity. 

In the industrial sector, many technologies are being used on a broad scale to minimize energy consumption, operational expenses, greenhouse gas and carbon emissions. Using waste heat recovery systems to improve the economic feasibility of various industrial processes could be a smart step. Waste heat recovery systems are an appealing option for ensuring a low-emission environment as the industrial sector continues to enhance energy efficiency. These systems are extremely energy-efficient, and they can generate onsite electricity while lowering total operating expenses. Over the projection period, these factors are also projected to raise their demand. Heavy metal manufacture, chemical, cement, glass, and petroleum refining are just a few of the energy-intensive industries with significant waste heat recovery potential.
