Abstract :

It is indeed a challenge for process industries to manage the captive power requirement, with the growing demand and availability of power through grid and its energy cost. A successful strategic that aims to generates the captive power through process off gas and waste heat recovery. In this paper , the efficient way to generate captive power through Waste Heat Recovery(WHR) to meet out of the needs of Iron and Steel Industries has been discussed. Captive power plants have reported that the generation costs competitive with grid power. WHR which has assumed as key role of energy management enterprises. As per estimates a potential 17000–20000 MW could be continued through industrial co–generation.
