Application

Effluent Treatment

Industrial effluent heating and waste heat recovery for energy reuse with heat pumps.

Industrial effluent treatment often requires heating for biological processes, anaerobic digestion, or simply to meet disposal requirements. Simultaneously, hot effluents represent a source of wasted heat that can be recovered by heat pumps. Helioterm's HTW line is ideal for both scenarios.

Benefits for Effluent Treatment

Heat recovery

Hot effluents (30–50°C) are an excellent heat source for HTW, resulting in high COP.

Dual function

Heats the process while cooling the effluent, meeting thermal discharge requirements.

Contaminant resistance

Removable plate heat exchanger allows cleaning and inspection, essential for effluents with solids.

Sustainability

Energy recovery that would otherwise be wasted, reducing total plant consumption.

Recommended Specifications

Recommended modelHTW-15 a HTW-50 (15–50 TR)
Source temperature (effluent)25–50°C (the hotter, the higher the COP)
Outlet temperature60–90°C as needed
Recommended exchangerRemovable plate (mandatory for effluents)
Typical COP3.0–3.4 (hot source increases COP)

Ideal For

Effluent treatment plants, industries with hot effluents (textile, paper, food), industrial laundries, and any facility with potential for waste heat recovery.
