Waste heat in a gas pipeline station represents untapped energy potential. As natural gas is transported through pipelines, it releases excess heat that often goes unused. Harnessing this waste heat could enhance overall energy efficiency in the station. Technologies, such as heat recovery systems, offer solutions to capture and repurpose this thermal energy. By implementing these systems, gas pipeline stations can not only reduce their environmental impact but also improve energy sustainability, making the most of the inherent heat generated.
Waste Heat Recovery
A crucial aspect of waste heat recovery in gas pipeline stations involves capturing the excess heat from gas compressor stations. This process entails harnessing energy from the exhaust stream of gas turbine compressor units in a pipeline system and generating cooling through low-grade waste recovery adsorption chiller technology.
The Benefits
Recovering the waste heat makes a substantial contribution to sustainable energy practices, with economic considerations being the primary determining factor. Successful projects in this domain necessitate collaboration between the pipeline company, utility, and the supplier of heat-recovery equipment. Addressing escalating concerns about rising energy costs from burning fossil fuels, international decision-makers are implementing policies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
The Bry-Air Solution
Bry Air offers solutions for low-grade waste heat recovery through Adsorption Chillers, utilizing the recovered heat for both industrial processes and human comfort. This recovery not only reduces energy consumption and operational costs but also diminishes the facility’s carbon footprint, aligning with environmental protection goals.
Bry-Air-make Adsorption chillers use potable water as the refrigerant, yielding zero ozone depletion and next to no global warming potential, by using low grade hot water from waste heat from flue gas as heat input to provide cooling instead of using electricity. Adsorption unit operates under vacuum with negligible moving parts, quiet and low noise. Adsorption technology is truly green, environment-friendly and sustainable.
