Choosing the right recovery technology for your processes
Integrate heat recovery systems to reduce energy consumption

The selection criteria for recuperator technologies are many and varied. It is important to identify :

• firstly, the states of the fluids likely to pass through the recuperators; three possibilities are offered to the engineer (gas-to-gas recuperator, liquid-to-liquid recuperator, gas-to-liquid recuperator); the figures "Atmospheric-pressure gas/gas recuperators", "Liquid-to-liquid or high-pressure gas/gas recuperators" and "Atmospheric-pressure gas/liquid recuperators" illustrate the technologies available for each configuration;

• secondly, nominal and maximum operating pressures and temperatures;

• thirdly, the expected thermal output ;

• fourthly, their corrosion and fouling resistance, and their suitability for cleaning and technical inspection;...
