The British Flame Research Comittee, in collaboration with The Institute of Physics Combustion Physics Group offers a 1-day technical meeting entitled WASTE ENERGY UTILIZATION and aimed at energy managers, energy policymakers, equipment manufacturers, research practitioners and students; performance & economic system modellers.  

The meeting will examine short, medium and longer-term measures and strategies to improve Waste energy utilization.  Whilst the focus will be on low-grade fuels and heat below 500°C, diverse processes will be discussed. 

Best practice schemes already in use address operational issues such as high-efficiency flue gas heat recovery technologies, control systems, base load reduction and the like.  Advanced systems may include low-grade heat recovery using specialized heat engines and heat exchangers with new materials, integrated processes, utilization of waste energy streams, and process adaptations.
