Air Pollution Control Technologies™ Energy Recovery Systems

Market Leaders | Services & Experience | Energy Recovery Systems | Related Services | Brochure

Federal and State authorities are currently offering a wide variety of financial incentives for companies to improve overall energy efficiency and reduce utilization. Current incentives to implement energy saving strategies and projects include monetary grants, corporate deductions, tax credits, expedited depreciation schedules, and federally guaranteed loans. The current administration is anticipated to broadly expand the availability of government incentive vehicles and private incentive opportunities are anticipated to increase significantly as well.

Existing air pollution control systems, such as thermal oxidizers, NOx abatement systems, waste incinerators and certain boilers, turbines and particulate abatement systems offer tremendous opportunity for energy recovery. The availability of new financial incentives combined with the emergence of new affordable recovery technologies, (such as waste heat power generators that convert waste heat to electricity), are resulting in shorter payback periods and more attractive ROI scenarios, even for applications previously thought prohibitively expensive.

O’Brien & Gere can review your facility’s existing Air Pollution Control systems and advise of strategies that can be applied to reduce costs and provide an estimate of the pay-back period associated with each. In addition, O’Brien & Gere will help identify funding sources available to pay for implementation.

Typical cost reduction strategies eligible for third party funding and tax benefits include the application of:

• Absorption Chillers
• Economizers
• Waste-Heat Boilers

• Waste-Heat Power Generators

• Plant Make-Up Air Conditioning/Heating Systems
• Others

In addition to recovering waste energy, primary energy consumption of APC systems can be reduced through:

• Improving thermal efficiencies.
• Minimizing process air volume requirements by applying creative air balancing strategies.
• The application of VOC concentration systems.
• Minimizing system pressure drop.
