How it works: How it works: Exhaust Vapour Condenser (EVC) heat exchanger
Across diverse industries, our innovative energy recovery solutions are helping companies reduce costs, cut emissions, and improve operational efficiency. The following case studies highlight how flash steam recovery and exhaust vapour condensers (EVCs) deliver measurable sustainability benefits across numerous industry sectors.
Major brewer reduces CO₂ emissions by 56 tonnes a year
A leading brewer upgraded to an exhaust vapour condenser, cutting flash steam losses and pre-heating the pasteuriser line. The project reduced CO₂ emissions by 56 tonnes a year and lowered steam use by over a third.
Paper manufacturer saves energy and £7K per month
A Brazilian paper mill installed an EVC system after an energy audit revealed costly steam losses. The solution increased make-up water temperature and saved more than saving $7K per month, supporting their net-zero ambitions.
Food plant boosts boiler efficiency
A cereal manufacturer fitted three EVC units to recover flash steam from cookers and condensate. The retrofit doubled expected feedwater temperature gains, was easy to install, and delivered energy savings beyond initial estimates.
Global tissue manufacturer recovers waste steam, saving £26k annually
A leading tissue producer installed a steam exhaust vapour condenser, eliminating flash steam loss. The upgrade saved £26K annually, improved environmental performance, and achieved payback in just seven months.
Hotel recovers energy and cuts costs by £74K per year
A Dubai hotel installed an exhaust vapour condenser after an energy audit revealed flash steam losses. The solution saves around £74K per year, reduces energy waste, and supports their net-zero ambitions while requiring minimal maintenance.
