Waste gasses are typically created in industrial processes, such as those that occur in blast furnaces, which reduce iron ore to molten iron and produce byproduct gas that must be flared or disposed of.
Many industrial processes produce byproduct energy streams such as (i) hot exhaust gases, (ii) flare gases and (iii) high pressure gases. Hot exhaust gases are generated by facilities such as coke ovens, blast furnaces, petroleum refineries and hot rolled steel ovens, which all have high temperature exhaust gasses that can be converted into electricity and thermal energy. Waste gasses are typically created in industrial processes, such as those that occur in blast furnaces, which reduce iron ore to molten iron and produce byproduct gas that must be flared or disposed of. Finally, energy in the form of pressure drop energy is created when gases, including steam and natural gas, flow from high pressure pipes to low pressure points of use. Electric power and thermal energy can be produced by capturing and recycling these forms of waste energy produced by industrial processes.
