For biomass boiler & process heat

From construction to production and assembly through to commissioning and after-sales service - in addition to the new and retrofitting of their systems, we also take over the renovation and servicing of existing systems for our customers. For unknown systems, we offer the installation of test systems in order to determine the exact design and operating parameters. We differentiate between heat recovery for biomass boilers and process heat.

Biomass boiler

The high heat content of the exhaust gases when moist biomass is burned is often unused and released into the environment. With an appropriately designed heat recovery system from HEGER, it is possible to cool the flue gas below the flue gas dew point, so that considerable increases in efficiency can be achieved.

The lower the residual oxygen content and the higher the fuel water content, the higher the achievable efficiency. Flue gas condensation with an integrated depluming system enables the plume of water vapor which emerges from the chimney to be invisible even at temperatures below 0°C.

Heger Energy Booster 2.0 ADV for biomass boiler 250 kW

HEGER ENERGY BOOSTERs are designed so that no flue gas is recirculated. Especially with dry fuel, this leads to high residual oxygen values and a relatively constant amount of exhaust gas. If the boiler is equipped with recirculation, the amount of exhaust gas is reduced accordingly and it may make sense to switch to the next smaller size.

Industrial process heat

Due to the massive increase in energy prices in recent years, the use of previously unused exhaust gas flows is becoming more and more important. As a consequence of this development, we offer innovative heat recovery systems with which enormous energy savings can be achieved. These systems reduce the dependency on energy imports from crisis regions and thus strengthen the regional business location. Heat recovery systems from Heger Edelstahl make a valuable contribution to reducing the greenhouse gas CO2 and thus contribute to climate protection.

Heat recovery system for gas burner

Plastic containers are manufactured in a prodcuction process. The process works in such a way that plastic granulate is filled into molds in a circular system. Then heated to approx. 280°C in a combustion chamber, which melts and results in the finished shape and finally cools down again in a cooling zone. The energy required for this process is brought into the combustion chamber via natural gas burners. Part of this energy is discharged to the outside as exhaust gas via a suction device to a chimney on the roof.

In future, the hot exhaust gases will be used in a heat recovery system from HEGER. This should also improve the odor emission, or the reduced temperature makes it possible to incorporate a separte odor treatment stage.

Heat recovery system for heat treatment furnance for cast parts (2.174 Nm³/h at 497°C)

Exhaust gases from four different heat treatment furnances for cast parts are each cooled in a heat recovery system from HEGER. The energy released in the process is fed into the system´s internal hot water network or any excess is fed into the local district heating network.

A speed-controlled fan is installed after the heat exchanger to overcome the pressure loss on the exhaust gas side. The speed regulation takes place in such way that the optimum is extraceted from the exhaust gas, taking into account the internal requierements of the system. If the heat cannot be used, the flue gas flows directly into the chimney via the bypass.
