Industrial WHR Power Barriers WHR competes with passive heat exchangers that can recycle heat to the process or elsewhere in the facility generally the first approach to WHR Most high temperature WH is dirty and therefore difficult and expensive to recover Industrial processes may lack space and integration with the process may be difficult Batch processes, seasonal operations, and other low load factor processing reduces economic benefits of WHR Heat transfer from atmospheric pressure exhaust gases is 50-80 less than from hot water temperature ranges that work in geothermal applications will not work in industry 19

NG Compressor Stations Barriers Proximity to grid connection Availability of land for the WHR power plant Seasonal load patterns on some stations Small gas turbines and IC engines currently not economic targets for WHR power Availability of RPS or green power purchase agreements 22
Conclusions WHR to power potential from industrial facilities and natural gas compressor stations is estimated at 7-9 GW Track record for installing WHR to power systems is much stronger for natural gas compressor stations than for industrial installations where experience, especially U.S. experience, is much lower High priority industrial targets in cement and other calcining operations, glass melting, and metal melters. Large waste heat opportunity in chemicals and refineries needs to be better characterized 23
