Episode 18 - Charlie & the Carbon Footprint Reduction - Heat Optimization

Charlie and Sven are freezing… but not for long! With Kate’s help, they discover how much heat is wasted, and how to recover it. From fireplaces to turbogenerators, they explore how WHRU (Waste Heat Recovery Units) and HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generators) can turn exhaust gases into useful energy. On E&P sites, the wasted energy to be used to heat process units, generate steam, and boost energy efficiency! And with CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine), efficiency can reach up to 60%! Less fuel gas burned and less GHG emissions at home and on our E&P sites.
