WHAT WE DO
WASTE HEAT RECOVERY BOILER MANUFACTURER
Waste heat recovery applications can vary significantly depending on exhaust gas temperature, flow rate, composition, steam demand, and facility operating conditions. IBA engineers each waste heat recovery boiler around these requirements to efficiently recover available thermal energy and convert it into useful steam.
Our industry-leading waste heat recovery boiler solutions support a wide range of industrial processes, including metals manufacturing, chemical processing, refining, glass production, power generation, and other operations that produce high-temperature exhaust gases. Each system can be engineered around the available heat source and required steam capacity to integrate with existing plant equipment.
By recovering energy that would otherwise be discharged through an exhaust or flue, a waste heat recovery boiler can reduce the amount of additional fuel required for steam generation while improving overall plant energy utilization.

What is a WASTE HEAT RECOVERY BOILER?
A waste heat recovery boiler is an industrial boiler that captures thermal energy from hot exhaust gases or process streams and uses that energy to generate steam or hot water. Instead of allowing usable heat to escape through a stack or exhaust system, the boiler transfers that heat to water through heat-transfer surfaces.
Waste heat recovery boilers are commonly installed downstream of industrial processes and equipment that produce high-temperature exhaust, including furnaces, kilns, engines, turbines, and other thermal processes. The recovered energy can be used to produce steam for process requirements, heating, power generation, or other facility needs.
Unlike a conventional fired boiler, a waste heat recovery boiler primarily relies on energy already present in the exhaust stream rather than generating heat through additional fuel combustion. Depending on the application and steam requirements, an auxiliary burner may also be incorporated to supplement the available waste heat.
Because steam production depends on the availability and characteristics of the waste heat source, system design must account for factors such as exhaust temperature, gas flow, composition, operating schedule, and required steam conditions.
OUR CAPABILITIES
BENEFITS OF WASTE HEAT RECOVERY BOILERS
Waste heat recovery boilers offer several benefits for your facility, including:
Reduced Operating Costs
Fire tube waste heat recovery boilers operate on minimal energy and fuel consumption, which allows the operating costs associated with this boiler to be significantly lower than those of other typical industrial boilers.
Increased Steam Capacity
One of the biggest benefits of adding a waste heat recovery boiler is increased steam capacity for your facility with the addition of a second boiler.
Reduced Fuel Consumption
Because much of the energy in this boiler comes from waste gas, the amount of fuel necessary to produce steam will be significantly lower than in a combustion boiler, even if an auxiliary burner is required.
Reduced Emissions
Without the need for natural gas or biomass for combustion, a waste heat boiler does not add emissions to the system. If an auxiliary burner is required, any additional emissions fall far below the levels of a conventional boiler.

frequently asked questions
A waste heat recovery boiler captures thermal energy from industrial exhaust gases or process streams and uses that energy to generate steam or hot water. This allows facilities to recover energy that would otherwise be discharged into the environment.
Hot exhaust gases pass across heat-transfer surfaces within the boiler, transferring thermal energy to water and producing steam. Unlike a conventional fired boiler, the system primarily uses heat already generated by another industrial process.
Waste heat recovery boilers are used in industries that produce significant high-temperature exhaust, including power generation, chemical processing, refining, metals, glass, manufacturing, and other energy-intensive industrial operations.Waste heat recovery boilers are used in industries that produce significant high-temperature exhaust, including power generation, chemical processing, refining, metals, glass, manufacturing, and other energy-intensive industrial operations.
Waste heat recovery boilers can reduce fuel consumption, lower operating costs, increase available steam capacity, improve overall plant energy efficiency, and make productive use of thermal energy that would otherwise be lost.
Yes. Depending on the application, a waste heat recovery boiler can incorporate supplemental or auxiliary firing to increase steam production when the available waste heat alone cannot meet the facility’s steam requirements.
Waste heat recovery boiler sizing depends on factors such as exhaust gas temperature, gas flow rate and composition, available heat, required steam pressure and capacity, operating profile, and process conditions. These variables should be evaluated together when engineering a system for a specific facility.
