ENOGIA to equip Ulsan Hydrogen Fuel Cell Park with heat recovery technology
ENOGIA , an expert in heat-to-electricity conversion systems , is proud to announce its selection to supply 10 Organic Rankine Cycle ( ORC ) modules for a major hydrogen fuel cell project in Ulsan , South Korea . The project , developed in collaboration with Lo-C Energy Co ., Ltd ., ENOGIA ’ s distributor in South Korea , and the Ulsan Eco Industry Development Center ( UEID ), is a significant milestone in ENOGIA ’ s global expansion and will contribute significantly to the company ’ s guidance of > 50 % revenue growth in 2025 vs 2024 . This project will equip the Ulsan Hydrogen Fuel Cell Park , located at the LOTTE Chemical
Ulsan Plant , with ENOGIA ’ s advanced ORC technology , providing a total installed capacity of 1.8 MW . The hydrogen fuel cell park will feature 40 MW of hydrogen fuel cell power under construction , with an expected total capacity of 60 MW . ENOGIA ’ s ORC systems will transform waste heat from the fuel cells into clean , cost-effective baseload electricity , powering the industrial operations of LOTTE Chemical while advancing energy efficiency and sustainability goals . The project is expected to be executed across 2025 and 2026 , underscoring ENOGIA ’ s role in delivering advanced , efficient , and scalable energy solutions in a rapidly growing market for industrial waste heat recovery .
Thermal Energy receives an order for heat recovery & heat pump project
Qvantum expands into the UK heat pump market
Thermal Energy International Inc ., a provider of innovative energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction solutions to major corporations around the world , has received an order for a heat recovery and heat pump project valued at approximately CAD 2.8M from a leading multinational pharmaceutical company . “ We are thrilled to announce our third heat recovery project with this customer within the last 15 months ,” said William Crossland , CEO of Thermal Energy International . “ This continued partnership , facilitated by our global master services agreement , is a testament to the trust this industry leader places in our innovative energy efficiency solutions . The three projects announced thus far will play a fundamental role in helping them
meet their 2030 emission reduction targets as cost-effectively as possible . With approximately 40 of their sites identified as opportunities for our technology , we are excited about the significant potential to further support their sustainability journey .” The turn-key project includes both indirect contact HeatSponge ® , a direct contact FLU-ACE ® heat recovery system , as well as an integrated heat pump . The project is expected to deliver approximately 93 % boiler efficiency . Additionally , the anticipated reduction in natural gas consumption is estimated to cut CO 2 emissions by 728 tons per year , representing an estimated 11 % reduction in site CO 2 emissions . The project is expected to be completed and revenue earned within 12 months .
Swedish heat pump manufacturer Qvantum has officially launched its UK subsidiary , Qvantum United Kingdom , at a high-profile event in its new Moorgate headquarters . The launch event featured presentations by Qvantum UK executives , including technical sales director Darren Manley and aftersales technical director Geoff Turton . Special guest Thomas Nowak , former Secretary General of the European Heat Pump Association and now Qvantum ’ s VP of Government Relations and Public Affairs , provided insights into the future of renewable heating in Europe . The company , known for its unique approach to renewable heating technology , wants to rebalance domestic energy consumption in the UK with demand on the electricity grid . In light of its recent MCS certification , Qvantum shared its
insights into the UK heat pump market with the industry and the press , highlighting the need to incentivise investment in the market to speed up its growth as subsidies have proven to be weak market drivers . Sharing its vision for the future of heat pumps , Qvantum demonstrated its idea of the ‘ energy density doughnut ’, where waste heat from city centres could be repurposed by an integrated ‘ ambient loop ’ heat pump network that spreads to the intermediate and outskirt zones , creating circularity in heat production . The integrated Qvantum system , consisting of a tank unit , a hydronic unit , a selection from its range of heat pumps , a smart controller , and additional digital services , would allow building owners and operators to store energy from the grid when it is the cheapest and distribute heat at peak times .
Sohar Port welcomes world ’ s second largest polymer plant
Oman ’ s Sohar Port and Free Zone has begun construction of the world ’ s second largest polymer manufacturing plant , a USD 300M project undertaken by Universal Fine Chemicals SPC covering an area of 240,000 square meters . Scheduled to be operational in the first quarter of 2026 , the state-of-the-art facility will specialize in the production of polyacrylamide and related monomers . These important chemicals can be used in industries such as energy , agriculture , wastewater management , and papermaking .
By addressing key global challenges in energy production and water management , the project not only strengthens Oman ’ s industrial landscape but also contributes to sustainable solutions on a global scale . The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by a large number of officials under the patronage of Sultan bin Salim Al-Habsi , Minister of Finance , and in the presence of Sayyid Faisal bin Turki Al-Said , Chairman of Universal Fine Chemicals SPC . This milestone event highlights Oman ’ s commitment to innovation , sustainable development , and its strategic positioning on the global industrial landscape . The polymers produced at the Sohar Port plant will meet the needs of a wide range of industries such as energy , agriculture , and water treatment , making Oman a global player in the chemical industry . The plant will use cutting-edge technology to ensure efficient and sustainable production processes . In addition , the project is expected to create a large number of jobs , both directly and indirectly , boosting local employment and contributing to Oman ’ s economic growth . www . heat-exchanger-world . com Heat Exchanger World February 2025
