6. Our advice

6.1 Apply the rules of good practice

Certain rules need to be adopted to ensure an effective recovery system.

Correctly size the system according to the volume of effluent treated and the heat sources available, otherwise energy efficiency will be reduced. This requires accurate assessment of effluent volumes and their variability.

Depending on the specific needs of the process, you should opt for adapted technologies, in particular heat exchangers for fouling liquid effluents or flue gas recuperators.

Look for additional sources of financing, in particular through CEE (energy saving certificates). In addition, ADEME's Fonds Chaleur grants subsidies covering up to 50% of feasibility studies for heat recovery...
