Thermographic and mass-flow analysis of high-temperature exhaust stacks and furnace discharge.

Organic Rankine Cycle Integration1:05

Using low-boiling-point working fluids to generate on-site zero-emission electricity from 110°C heat.

Waste-Heat Driven Absorption Chillers2:10

Producing 7°C chilled water using waste heat to displace electric centrifugal chiller loads.

What We Do & Where Waste Occurs

Cascade low-grade heat between processes so one stream reject becomes another supply. Low-grade thermal energy is elevated or used directly in district loops.
Second-Law Thermodynamic Principle

Why Conventional Audits Fail and How Exergy Succeeds

Exergy of a heat stream depends on its temperature relative to ambient: Ex = Q · (1 - T₀/T). Rather than venting thermal energy below 150°C as 'unusable', we match low-temperature sources to appropriate heat sinks, producing electricity, hot water, or absorption refrigeration.

Key Intervention Vectors

Thermal pinch matching for source-to-sink cascading
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power generation
Industrial absorption chillers driven by waste heat
Heat pipe and plate heat exchanger retrofits
Specific Energy Consumption (SEC)

Performance KPI Benchmark

Converts 8–18% of low-grade thermal waste into on-site net electrical power or 65% into sub-ambient refrigeration.
