Low grade industrial waste heat is widely found in industrial processes, and is recognised asan opportunity for revenue generation and reducing carbon impact. Many industrial plantsand processes produce heat at temperatures and quantities where conversion to electricity isviable. This electricity can be used or sold, paying back the investment in the equipment.The water utility and waste treatment market has a number of heat sources that couldpotentially be relevant for this application.Energy recovery technology is improving, with Organic Rankine Cycle systems in particulardeveloping in recent years. However, energy recovery is not widely adopted in the UK andEurope. The principal barrier to uptake is the length of payback. At 3-5 years, payback doesnot merit direct investment by plant operators – but may be viable (if structured correctly) forexternal investment.The project aims to research the energy recovery technologies available for converting lowgrade waste heat, and the new technologies in development that may make new, lowertemperature and smaller scale energy sources viable. It aims to identify priority industrialapplications and engage with heat producers. And the project aims to research potentialinvestors’ requirements. Finally, it aims to build a business case for investment in these newtechnologies by new investors.

低品位工业废热广泛存在于工业过程中，被认为是创收和减少碳影响的机会。许多工业工厂和过程产生的热量的温度和数量转换为电力是可行的。这些电力可以被使用或出售，以偿还设备投资。水设施和废物处理市场有许多可能与此应用相关的热源。能源回收技术正在改进，特别是近年来发展的有机朗肯循环系统。然而，能源回收在英国和欧洲并没有被广泛采用。采用的主要障碍是回收期的长短。在3-5年内，投资回报不值得工厂运营商直接投资-但可能是可行的（如果结构正确）外部投资。该项目旨在研究可用于转换低品位废热的能源回收技术，以及正在开发的新技术，这些技术可能使新的，低温和小规模的能源变得可行。它旨在确定优先的工业应用，并与热生产商合作。本项目旨在研究潜在投资者的需求。最后，它旨在为新投资者投资这些新技术建立一个商业案例。
