About Waste Heat Recovery Boiler

Gyantosh's Waste Heat Recovery Boilers (WHRB / HRSG) capture the hot exhaust gases from upstream processes — DG-set exhaust, furnaces, kilns, incinerators, and other high-temperature streams — and convert that otherwise-wasted energy into useful steam. This dramatically cuts fuel cost and emissions, because the steam is generated from heat you have already paid for.

Because a WHRB uses no primary fuel of its own, it is one of the most cost-effective and sustainable ways to raise plant energy efficiency. Modular, compact designs are engineered around the available waste-heat quantity, gas temperature, and required steam parameters — suiting both new plants and modernization/retrofit of existing installations.

Every waste heat recovery boiler is designed and manufactured in compliance with IBR 1950 and IS 2825 using certified boiler-quality pressure parts, with heat transfer surfaces and gas-path design tailored to the source gas characteristics. An integral economiser further improves heat recovery.

Steam capacity and pressure are set by the available waste heat and process requirement. GyanTosh WHRBs serve fertilizer, steel, paper, cement, glass, chemical, refinery, and power plants seeking to slash energy cost and carbon footprint. Backed by over two decades of boiler engineering experience.

Heat Recovery Configuration

HRSG Heat Transfer Surfaces

Heat recovery steam generator surfaces are arranged in the exhaust gas path to extract maximum energy from the waste-gas stream into feed water and steam.

Gas-Path Tailored Design

Tube arrangement, gas velocity, and materials are matched to the source gas temperature, dust loading, and corrosiveness for reliable long-term operation.

Integral Economiser

An economiser preheats feed water using residual gas heat, pushing overall heat recovery and efficiency higher.

Modular Compact Layout

A modular design minimises footprint and back-pressure on the parent process, easing retrofit into existing plants.

Advantages of a Waste Heat Recovery Boiler

Steam Without Fuel

A WHRB generates steam from heat that would otherwise be lost, so the steam is effectively free — delivering major operating-cost savings.

Lower Emissions

Recovering waste heat reduces the fuel burned elsewhere, cutting the plant's overall emissions and carbon footprint.

Fast Payback

Fuel and emission savings typically give waste heat recovery boilers an attractive, short payback period.

Retrofit-Friendly

Modular, compact design allows integration into existing plants with minimal disruption and low back-pressure on the parent process.

Custom-Engineered

Each WHRB is sized precisely to the available waste heat, gas characteristics, and steam requirement for optimum recovery.

Sustainability

Improving energy efficiency through heat recovery supports corporate sustainability and energy-conservation goals.

Frequently Asked Questions(10)

What is a waste heat recovery boiler?
A waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB or HRSG) captures hot exhaust gases from an upstream process — such as DG-set exhaust, furnaces, kilns, or incinerators — and uses that heat to generate steam, without burning any primary fuel of its own.
How does a WHRB save money?
Because it produces steam from heat that would otherwise be wasted, the steam is effectively free. This cuts the fuel that would otherwise be burned to raise the same steam, giving significant operating-cost savings and a fast payback.
What heat sources can it use?
Common sources include diesel-generator exhaust, furnace and kiln flue gases, incinerator exhaust, and other high-temperature process waste-gas streams — typically around 300°C and above.
What steam capacity can I get?
Steam capacity and pressure are determined by the available waste heat, gas temperature, and your process requirement — each WHRB is custom-engineered to the source.
Can a WHRB be retrofitted to an existing plant?
Yes. Modular, compact designs are well suited to retrofit and modernization, integrating into existing gas paths with minimal disruption and low back-pressure on the parent process.
Is IBR certification provided?
Yes. Waste heat recovery boilers are designed and manufactured in compliance with IBR 1950 and IS 2825, and supplied with full IBR certification.
Which industries benefit most?
Fertilizer, steel, paper, cement, glass, chemical, refinery, and power plants — any operation with a continuous high-temperature exhaust stream — benefit most from waste heat recovery.
Can GyanTosh design and install the complete system?
Yes. GyanTosh provides turnkey WHRB solutions including heat-recovery engineering, pressure parts, economiser, feed water and controls, installation, commissioning, and IBR inspection under single-point accountability.
What is the waste heat recovery boiler working principle?
The waste heat recovery boiler working principle is simple: pass hot exhaust gas your process is already producing across heat transfer surface and raise steam from it, burning no fuel of its own. The gas source — DG set, furnace, kiln or incinerator — sets the inlet temperature and flow, and those two figures size the boiler.
What are the types of waste heat recovery boiler?
The main types of waste heat recovery boiler are fire-tube, where gas passes inside tubes surrounded by water and which suits clean gas at modest pressure; water-tube, where the arrangement is inverted and which carries higher pressures and dirtier gas; and coil type for compact low-capacity duties. Which one fits depends on gas cleanliness, inlet temperature and the steam pressure required.
