Competition heating up?

Do you manage an industrial process driven by hot water, heated air, steam, or other hot liquids and gases? Or does your process release thermal energy to the external environment without any heat recovery systems?

We can improve your competitiveness with cogeneration (combined heat and power) and waste heat recovery solutions without burdening your capital budget

Energy efficiency and demand management often trump investments in renewable energy systems. Two important energy efficiency strategies for industrial and commercial processes are waste heat recovery and co-generation, also known as combined heat and power (CHP) or combined heat, cooling, and power (CHCP). These systems often involve significant capital investment and expertise, which Dandelion Energy and its partners can bring to the table.

Dandelion Energy is just as passionate about energy recovery systems as we are about renewable energy. Energy efficiency and demand management are critical strategies in the quest to reduce the size of your energy bill and reduce your environmental footprint.

Cogeneration (combined heat and power)

Traditional utility electricity generation wastes more than half of the the input energy and releases it as thermal energy to the atmosphere or nearby water resources. If your industrial or commercial process requires hot water, steam, or heated gases/liquids, you can generate electricity on site (using natural gas, for example) and simultaneously take advantage of heat as a by-product. You can even use the heat by-product to drive cooling systems.

With Dandelion Energy cogeneration systems, you achieve higher energy efficiency than the electric utility and may reduce your total energy costs.

Waste heat recovery

Many industrial and commercial processes produce thermal energy, but it often goes untapped as it is released to the external environment through water or air emissions. Dandelion Energy waste heat recovery systems can capture and recycle this energy to save fuel costs and reduce the operation’s carbon footprint. The recovered heat can be used to heat or pre-heat water and air, thereby displacing the expense and harmful greenhouse gases associated with traditional fuel consumption. In some cases, the recovered heat can produce steam to drive a turbine generator, producing electricity on site.
