Industrial Heat Pumps & Thermal Electrification

Megawatt-Scale Process Heat — 60°C to 300°C — Engineered to Replace Gas

We electrify process heat for heavy industry.


 Our
ammonia-based industrial heat pump systems generate hot water, high-temperature heat and steam-equivalent output without combustion, while recovering waste heat and reducing energy consumption by 3–8× vs gas boilers.

This is not HVAC — this is industrial thermal infrastructure.

Why Electrify Heat?

Gas boilers are limited by combustion efficiency (~55–85%).
 
Heat pumps are driven by thermodynamics — they move heat instead of burning fuel.

1 unit of electricity → 3–8 units of usable heat.

Combustion can never do that.

Why Electrify Heat

Heat Pump Temperature & Power Capability

Temperature Output:

  • 60–120°C hot water, sanitation, CIP

  • 120–200°C pasteurisation, cooking, rendering

  • 200–250°C steam replacement & high-grade heat

  • Up to 300°C staged MVR-assisted systems

We design systems large enough to replace boilers, not supplement them.

How an Industrial Heat Pump Works

How an Industrial Heat Pump Works

Moving heat is cheaper and more efficient than burning fuel.

Multi-Stage High Temperature Architecture (to 300°C)

Trying to jump from 25°C to 200–300°C in one step kills efficiency.
 
We stage temperature lifts for thermodynamic gain:

Multi-Stage High Temperature Architecture (to 300°C)

Multiple smaller lifts outperform one large lift —
 
This is how high-temperature electrification becomes viable.

Waste Heat Recovery (WHR)

We reclaim heat sources your site already generates:

  • Refrigeration condensing heat

  • Hot glycol/brine returns

  • Cook/smoke exhaust

  • Pasteuriser discharge

  • Boiler blowdown

  • Warm effluent streams

Recovered heat becomes free fuel for the compressor.

Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR)

High-temperature vapour contains latent energy.
MVR recovers, compresses and returns it as usable heat.

Ideal for:

  • Rendering & tallow plants

  • Smokehouses & cook rooms

  • Dryers & dehydrators

  • Milk evaporation & concentration

  • Distillation and fermentation

  • Starch/sugar drying

  • Chemical & concrete heating processes

MVR is the gateway to 200–300°C electrification.

Thermal Energy Storage (TES)

Heat pumps like stability.

Production lines have peaks & valleys. TES bridges them.

TES enables:

  • Off-peak operation

  • Shift buffering

  • Smaller heat pump sizing

  • Maintenance continuity

  • Flat energy curves

  • Massive SCOP uplift

TES is not optional — it is the SCOP multiplier.

Controls & Redundancy Architecture

Industrial uptime is non-negotiable.

We design:

  • Multi-compressor parallel loops

  • N+1 redundancy pathways

  • Independent staging circuits

  • SCADA/PLC integration

  • Remote optimisation

  • TES-assisted continuity

A boiler crack = total outage.

A heat pump circuit trip = reduced output, not shutdown.

Industries We Electrify

  • Food, Meat & Agri-Processing

    Lamb, beef, poultry, dairy, cheese, processing lines, smokehouses, rendering, drying.

  • Beverage & Fermentation

    Breweries, wineries, distillation, carbonation, pasteurisation.

  • Cold Storage + Industrial Refrigeration

    WHR integration delivers highest SCOP uplift.

  • Manufacturing & Heavy Industry

    • Concrete curing
    • Cement drying & pre-heat
    • Asphalt plant heating
    • Chemical reactors
    • Paper/pulp processes
    • Textile dyeing & drying
    • Kilning support & pre-heat
    • Process steam replacement up to 300°C

If it burns gas to make heat — it is electrifiable.
