## What is Heat Recovery?
Stop wasting energy you’ve already paid for. Boilers. Ovens. Chillers. Furnaces. Every process on your site creates heat. Most of it escapes through vents, drains, stacks, or pipes. Veolia helps you capture that energy and reuse it, reducing your costs, your emissions, and your reliance on the grid.
### How it works
1
**Assessment:**
We scan your site and map the heat you’re losing
2
**Solution:**
You get a tailored recovery and reuse plan
3
**Installation:**
We integrate recovery systems with minimal disruption
4
**Optimisation & Maintenance:**
Get the most out of every kilowatt for long term ROI.

### Sector Spotlights
Tailored solutions for your sector. From food to paper, data to chemicals, we recover the heat that matters most to you.
Food & Beverage
**Turn Waste Heat Into Energy Savings: F&B Heat Recovery**
Cooking, chilling, and cleaning are all generating heat. Let's reuse it. In food production, heat escapes through the likes of boilers, ovens, chillers and CIP systems. We help you recover and use it again with minimal disruption and fast ROI.
**Key Heat Sources:**
- Boilers & steam systems
- Refrigeration units
- CIP (clean-in-place) systems

Pulp & Paper
**Capture Steam, Cut Costs: Heat Recovery for Pulp & Paper**
Steam is your biggest cost and your biggest opportunity. Drying sections, recovery boilers and pulping systems all release valuable heat. We help you capture that steam and loop it back in safely and efficiently.
**Key Heat Sources:**
- Paper machine dryers
- Condensate and flash steam
- Recovery boilers

Data Centres
**Cool Servers, Warm Savings: Data Centre Heat Recovery**
Your cooling systems are working hard and wasting energy. Server racks and CRAC units generate constant low-grade heat. We help data centres recover it and reuse it onsite or offsite.
**Key Heat Sources:**
- Server room exhaust
- CRAC units
- Liquid cooling systems
- Power Station/Energy Heat Centres

Chemical & Petrochemical
**High Heat, High Returns: Industrial Process Heat Recovery**
High-temperature processes. High-value recovery potential. Furnaces, distillation and reactors give off intense heat. We help you recover it and convert it into process-ready energy or onsite power.
**Key Heat Sources:**
- Flue gas
- Reactors & furnaces
- Distillation overheads

## Real impact. Rapid returns.
**Lower energy bills & reduced carbon emissions**
**Reused energy = lower demand from the grid**
**Most solutions having less than 2 years payback**
### What exactly is heat recovery?
Heat recovery is the process of capturing wasted thermal energy, from flue gases, steam systems, ovens, chillers, or other equipment, and reusing it to support energy needs on-site. That recovered heat can be used to preheat water, reduce boiler load, or even generate electricity.
### How do I know if my site is suitable for heat recovery?
If your site uses high-temperature processes, steam systems, ovens, furnaces, or cooling units, there’s likely recoverable heat. The first step is a site assessment to map your energy flows and identify hotspots for recovery.
### What kind of technology is used?
We tailor solutions based on your site. This might include:
- Heat exchangers (e.g. flue gas to hot water)
- Heat pumps (for low-grade heat reuse)
- Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems (for power generation)
- Economisers (on boilers)
- Thermal storage (to balance supply and demand)
### Will it disrupt operations?
No. Most systems can be retrofitted with minimal disruption. We work around your production schedules and install in phases if needed.
### What kind of savings can I expect?
Depending on your process and energy use, savings can be significant, often reducing energy bills by 10–30% and achieving payback in under two years.
### Can this help me meet net zero targets?
Yes. Heat recovery reduces fossil fuel consumption and Scope 1 emissions. It’s often a key step in carbon reduction strategies across manufacturing, data centres, and industrial clusters.
