The proven process recovery system discussed in this paper is applicable to many large hot gas or liquid streams. Applications for this technology exist in the chemical, paper and food industries. In general, the cost of steam produced by the process recovery system is much less than boiler produced steam, especially in oil-fired boiler applications. With the ever-changing energy picture this process recovery system offers a cost effective energy conservation alternative. The centrifugal compressor technology is directly applicable to a variety of related services where vapor recompression of other gases is economically attractive.
