BORSIG has developed its own boiler design. This boiler design is suitable for all gasification processes. The waste heat boiler is designed as a fire-tube boiler. The hot synthesis gas enters the heating surfaces with a temperature of about 1,400 °C and is cooled down in these tubes to approximately 300 °C. The heat from the synthesis gas is used for generating saturated steam.

Double tube heat exchangers (also known tube-in-tube) are designed whereby one tube is concentrically positioned within a larger tube. The double tube composition allows for unrestricted flow of product, making it the ideal heat exchanger for viscous products. The product flows through the inner tube and the service fluid flows through the surrounding shell.

Heat recovery with the help of heat exchangers In industry, waste heat occurs at many points in the production process, which is often released into the environment without being used. In many cases, energy is even used to cool the waste heat flows from production so that they can be released into the environment. Heat exchangers (also called heat exchangers) are used for heat recovery so that the waste heat generated in the production process can be used again in the company. Gaseous or liquid media Waste heat can be in the form of gaseous media (e.g. warm exhaust air, steam, exhaust gases, etc.) or in the form of liquid media (e.g. hot water or other liquids). With the help of heat exchangers, the waste heat can be recovered from both gaseous and liquid media and then made available to the production process at a suitable point as energy in gaseous or liquid media. This process is known as energy recovery or also as heat recovery.

Waste water treatment plants and surface waters have enormous energy potential. A sewage treatment plant, for example with 90 million litres of wastewater daily, reducing the wastewater temperature by using heat exchanger by around 1°C, generates a power of about 4.3 MW. The comparative potential for energy recovery from the surface water is even higher. Environmental aspect Induced by humans, water temperatures of the surface and streams have steadily increased, not least owing to the inflows from sewage water treatment. This has serious consequences on the flora and fauna. If heat is extracted from purified water in the sewage treatment plant or from surface waters and from streams, and water temperature is thereby reduced, this will have a positive effect on the entire ecological system. With KASAG heat exchanger systems, on the one hand, the energy requirement of the sewage treatment plant can be covered and, on the other, buildings in near vicinity can be heated or cooled.
