Steam Generation Heat Pumps

Decarbonizing industrial steam generation Decarbonizing industrial steam

Heatlift SG is a steam generation high-temperature heat pump specially engineered for industrial and district heating applications aimed at decarbonizing steam generation by upcycling process waste heat.

This heat pump captures low-grade heat from cooling loops, humid air, process condensation, flue gases or ambient sources, and raises it to produce steam using in-house manufactured centrifugal compressors and a safe and environmentally friendly refrigerant.

The generated steam integrates seamlessly into existing process infrastructure for drying, heating, evaporation or sterilization and can be recompressed to reach up to 20 barA and more than 200°C.

Producing carbon-free steam efficiently

Efficient clean steam

Heatlift SG provides industries with an efficient and economical solution for producing steam needed for their processes.

Économies d'énergie

Energy and Cost Savings

Final energy consumption can be reduced by up to 4 times, leading to significant savings by upcycling waste heat.

Réduction CO2

CO₂ Emissions Reduction

÷10

Replacing your fossil fuel boiler with heat pumps can divide your emissions by 10.

Steam optimization

Optimization

100%

High-quality steam production is optimized by maximizing the COP through the efficient integration of waste heat recovery and MVR to perfectly match the customer needs.

Seamless plant integration

Heatlift SG is designed for full integration into existing process steam generation infrastructures, including :

  • Low-grade waste heat recovery systems to maximise efficiency
  • Steam compressors (MVR - Mechanical Vapor Recompression) to enhance performance and meet required process levels
  • Collaboration with major EPC contractors in waste heat recovery and steam system integration
