Type of article: Article

Summary

Heat exchangers play an essential role in pollution prevention and in the reduction of the environmental impact of industrial processes, by reducing energy consumption for recovering energy from processes in which they are used. The paper first presents background information on the role of heat exchangers, their types, and a discussion of environment pollution problems. Next, the role of heat exchangers is outlined in the prevention and mitigation of the following pollution problems: air pollution from volatile organic compounds, sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, water pollution from industrial processes, thermal pollution and land pollution resulting from municipal solid wastes or industrial hazardous wastes. Specific research and development needs for environmental heat exchangers are then summarized.
