A Waste Heat Recovery Unit (WHRU) captures thermal energy from exhaust streams that would otherwise be lost, repurposing it for valuable uses such as preheating air for combustion applications, generating steam for power or plant utilities, and heating thermal fluids to transport heat where needed.
Due to the immense amount of heat generated by thermal oxidizers, many Zeeco systems incorporate waste heat recovery equipment to further reduce operating costs by generating steam and/or heating oil that is used for other plant operations.
