Waste Heat Recovery

Capture valuable thermal energy before it escapes. Hayden designs and manufactures heat recovery equipment that transforms exhaust heat into usable energy.

Recover heat off turbines, engines and furnaces

Improve your plant’s efficiency by reducing fuel consumption, limiting emissions and improving overall thermal efficiency. Let us help you turn waste heat into measurable performance gains.

Generating steam to produce additional electricity

In high-temperature services, heat recovery units capture waste energy from exhaust gases to produce steam for auxiliary power generation or other process needs.

Preheating gas to improve efficiency

Recover low- to medium-grade heat to preheat combustion or process gases, and improve turbine or furnace efficiency. Even modest gains in temperature translate to meaningful fuel savings at scale.

Accommodating high-heat process gases

Refineries and chemical production plants working with products like hydrogen, syngas, ammonia and other process gases in reactor and reformer services can generate extreme temperatures. Hayden’s waste heat recovery systems are built to manage these high-pressure, high-temperature gas streams safely and efficiently.
