Depending on the processes, temperature requirements, and flexibility needs, the recovery of waste heat can be done internally, from third-party companies, or even within district heating networks. Pulsener supports its clients in developing renewable and waste heat energy (RWH) projects and harnessing various decarbonization opportunities.
District heating networks, in particular, offer technological solutions that promote decarbonization for businesses and industries. Beyond the recovery of waste heat, these networks also provide effective and rapid decarbonization solutions for heating needs in tertiary buildings or for industrial needs such as drying, cooking, heating fluids, or distillation.
As experts in heat recovery through district heating networks, Pulsener assists companies in turning their environmental challenges into economic opportunities both in France and in the United Kingdom.
Pulsener helps clients identify opportunities for recovering and utilizing waste heat. This includes conducting an inventory of waste heat sources and estimating off-site potentials. We evaluate various valorization options at the local or regional level. As experts in valorization solutions, we tailor innovative and sustainable solutions to our clients’ needs.
Our consultants verify the economic feasibility of these operations upstream and consolidate their studies with the technical managers of the sites and equipment managers.
Industrials often easily valorize this type of energy within their own site loop. The complexity significantly increases when involving third parties, such as nearby businesses or communities, for the establishment of heat networks. However, this type of solution often allows for the greatest valorization.
Pulsener can support industrial clients on such complex projects. Our consultants work with interested companies to develop deployment strategies as well as financial and legal structures to support these investments. Specifically examined are direct setups, energy performance contracts, and third-party financing solutions.
Pulsener offers technical and economic expertise to businesses considering connecting to a district heating network to meet their own needs or to supply heat produced or recovered to the network.
Needs analysis
Pulsener conducts an analysis of energy usage, specifically focusing on the heat requirements of the involved companies.
This analysis includes :
Examination of consumption data and related processes,
Review of data from in-house heat production tools,
Identification of potential sources of waste heat.
Technical and Economic Feasibility Study
Our consultants conduct feasibility studies prior to connecting to a heat network.
Identification of heat production sources near our clients’ sites,
Inventory and mapping of existing district heating networks,
Feasibility analysis for the extension or densification of existing district heating networks,
Identification of subsidies and financing or investment solutions.
A Trusted Partner for Supporting Projects with Third Parties
Our teams have a thorough understanding of district heating networks, whether it’s during the project, design, or operational phases. As such, our consultants support companies in facilitating various interactions with the public and private entities involved in a connection project.
