Heat recovery from a fume-gas incinerator. Final report
The Fume Incinerator Heat Recovery Project was performed as an energy conservation measure for the odorous vapor (fume) incinerator of the Niagara County Sewer District 1 disposal system. The function of this project was to recover heat from the process exhaust (1400 F) and use it to preheat incoming odorous vapors (70 F). Air flow and gas utilization were monitored and tabulated to allow computation of savings. Thermocouples throughout the unit allowed continuous monitoring of temperatures as the air stream passed through the heat exchanger module. The results of the evaluation showed major cost and natural gas savings without reduction in odor control efficiency. The payback period based on first-year saving is 3.63 years.
