Energies 2020, 13, 6446 19 of 26 The heat recovery technology involving preheating combustion air of multiple ovens shows the most promising outputs, with a 33% reduction in hourly gas consumption followed by combined preheating and reheating technology with a 26.8% reduction. The process water reheating technology stands third with fuel savings of 24.88%. A similar performance trend was observed for the other two comparison criteria—productivity and effectiveness.

Annual energy, operational cost and CO savings for the studied heat recovery technologies Although some technologies provide higher 2savings than other, all the technologies discussed based on 7000 h of operation per year. in this work can be used for waste heat recovery in a food manufacturing site in a certain scenario. The performances of all these technologies could vary with the production scales and the seasonal Parameters Fuel Saved Energy Operational CO2 Emissions variations. For instance, the heat recovery potential ofStahveinggas-to-liqCuoisdt ShaevaitnrgescoveryRtedchunctoiolongy Recovery Technology (MWh/yr) (£/yr) (t/yr) producing hot water highly depends on the hot water demand in the factory.

Therefore, there may be no requirement for installing an additional hot water generation system. On the other hand, the heat recovery technology involving preheating of combustion air is independent of the hot water demand of the manufacturing site. However, for the preheating technology to perform better than others, there should be adequate heat sinks (combustion air flow rate or multiple ovens) available in the factory. This technology will deliver the best possible results if there is more than one oven in the factory. In the absence of hot water demand and sufficient combustion air sink, an RORC or VAR system can be considered to generate direct electrical savings, perhaps more valuable form of energy than natural gas and can be exported to the grid. Some heat recovery technologies perform notably better than others. However, in general, all exhibit their own merits when energy and operating cost savings are considered, as shown in Table 15. A wholesale price of £1.8 per MWh of gas and £6 per MWh of electricity taken from Ofgem UK has been considered to calculate operational cost savings. While the electricity price is three times
