The market size of waste heat recovery system (WHRS) was USD 44.14 Billion in 2015, and is projected to reach USD 65.87 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 6.90%. Rising energy & electricity prices coupled with stringent government regulations & incentives are expected to drive the market in the future.
Petroleum refining WHRSs are widely used in petroleum refining processes such as distillation (fractionation), thermal cracking, catalytic, and treatment. The thermal effectiveness of these energy-intensive processes is crucial to the petroleum refining industry and, hence, highly energy efficient WHRS are used for such applications. Many exothermic reactions occur in the refineries that also produce waste heat. Some modern refineries have highly integrated systems that recover heat from one process to use in other processes. However, still many refineries and their operations release high-temperature waste heat, but lack efficient WHRS to recover it for different applications. The growing oil & gas industries in the Asia-Pacific region, and increasing oil production in the Middle East & Africa is driving the demand of WHRS in petroleum refining industry globally. Chemical WHRS have been successfully used in the chemical industry for processes such as industrial gases, alkalis and chlorine, cyclic crudes, and intermediates, including ethylene, propylene, benzene/toluene, plastics materials, synthetic rubber, synthetic organic fibers, and agricultural chemicals. High efficiency, operational productivity, and utilization of specialized and customized equipment have made WHRS an important component in chemical production processes. Therefore, growth in the chemical industry is one of the driving factors of the global WHRS market. Metal Production Heavy metals manufacturing and refining involves many high-temperature processes from which waste heat can be recovered. Heavy metal foundries commonly recover clean gaseous streams. However, recovering waste heat from heavily contaminated exhaust gas sources such as coke ovens, blast furnaces, basic oxygen furnaces, and electric arc furnaces continue to present a challenge for economical functioning of WHRS. Other sources of waste heat include melting furnace exhaust, ladle preheating, core baking, pouring, shot blasting, castings cooling, heat treating, and quenching. The heat recovered from these sources is used in steam and electricity generation in and is further used as fuel in other processes. This helps the low revenue generating metal industry to boost its energy efficiency, and hence reduce operating costs. The demand of WHRS is increasing in metal production segment, as the metal industry is growing heavily in all the regions.
