Problem
Many industrial processes release low-value waste heat, which is often unused and contributes to energy inefficiency and increased carbon emissions. Recovering and upgrading this waste heat to usable temperatures for heating purposes remains a challenge for various industries.
Solution
Heaten provides Very High Temperature Heat Pumps (VHTHP) that efficiently capture and upgrade low-value waste heat streams into high-temperature water or steam, reaching up to 200°C. The HeatBooster technology enables industries to reuse waste heat for their heating needs, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources and lowering carbon footprints. Heaten's piston-based heat pumps offer a combination of power range, efficiency, and flexibility, making them suitable for diverse industrial applications. The modular design allows for scalable configurations, accommodating heat requirements from 1 to 50 MWth per system.
Target Audience
Heaten's primary customers are in industries such as food & agriculture, chemicals, paper, building materials, and the energy sector, seeking to decarbonize their heating processes and improve energy efficiency.
