Heat recovery
Turnkey solutions for Co₂ reduction & energy savings
Up to 30% of industrial heat is lost through flue gases. However, this residual heat can often be reused within the same or a nearby process – reducing CO₂ emissions and energy costs with payback periods typically between 3 and 5 years. Heat Matrix specializes in industrial heat recovery solutions tailored to your sector.
Is heat recovery a profitable investment for us?
This depends on your specific situation. However, because we analyse all relevant factors, including heat sources, heat consumers, distance, and operational hours, we can quickly determine whether heat recovery is more profitable than expected.
Can you provide a quick estimate of our potential savings?
Absolutely! One site visit is often enough for us to take measurements and provide a detailed recommendation. Within two weeks, we can give you a clear overview of your potential energy savings and CO₂ reduction with our Heat Recovery Scan.
We don’t just want a plan; Can you deliver a fully functional installation?
Together with our sister company Bos Nieuwerkerk and partners Air Fröhlich, Exodraft, and Unica, we deliver and commission fully operational installations. This gives us full control over the quality and lead time of our work.
What type of heat recovery technology should we choose?
This is determined through our Heat Recovery Scan, as many factors influence the decision. Key considerations include: Are your flue gases corrosive or polluted? Should we recover heat for air or water heating? Where should the recovered heat be utilized?
How do you guarantee that the business case becomes a reality?
We establish clear design parameters with you and guarantee the energy output of the installation based on these conditions. Should conditions change, we will reassess the expected energy yield together.
Our flue gases are corrosive. Is heat recovery still a viable option for us?
Yes, to extract energy from these flue gases, Heat Matrix developed polymer heat exchanger technology almost twenty years ago. Polymers are resistant to corrosion and pollute less than metal.
Our flue gases are Polluting. Is heat recovery still a viable option for us?
Yes, we supply heat recovery systems with an internal cleaning system that sprays the heat exchanger clean. In some systems, this can be done during operation, other systems have to be switched off.
How do we convert EED audit results into heat recovery?
After a plant visit and analysis of your EED audit, we can assess the potential of heat recovery and indicate the steps needed to implement it.
How do we translate the Heat Recovery Scan into implementation?
After the Heat Recovery Scan, we will discuss the different concepts together and determine which one is the best fit. We develop the concept in detail, after which the project can be implemented.
INDUSTRies
In-depth knowledge of diverse industries
With our in-depth knowledge of, and experience with, highly diverse industries, we can guarantee optimal heat recovery. Heat from flue gases, baking fumes or drying air is maximally recovered and integrated into your plant, or used elsewhere in your factory. Together with you, we determine which heat recovery concept is the best match.
HEAT RECOVERY SCAN
Lightning-fast insight into opportunities, approach and business case
Our work always starts with our Heat Recovery Scan. It serves to map your heat sources and heat users. We then present the most promising heat recovery concepts, with a reliable indication of investment costs, energy and CO2savings and payback time.
TURNKEY
Turnkey means we take care of everything: from start to finish
Heat Matrix works closely with sister company Bos Nieuwerkerk, a specialist in chimneys and flue systems for over 50 years. Our partnership allows us to realise everything we come up with. This means that Heat Matrix provides you with a business case on paper as well as a working installation.
In addition to a report, we deliver complete working installations

Many flue gas systems discard heat
Do not discard heat! We offer heat recovery solutions that reuse your heat in your primary or secondary process.
Turnkey or prepared for automation
Together with Unica Industry Solutions, we can fully deliver your heat recovery system, complete with measurement and control technology.
Implementation of all necessary ducts
In our design, we usually opt for a bypass for your heat recovery system requiring additional ductwork. We take care of this for you as well.
Installation of water pipes included
In many cases, your heat recovery system will also require the installation of water pipes. We will take care of it.
Modifying your chimney
Does your heat recovery system require modifications to your chimney or the installation of additional dampers? Together with our sister company Bos Nieuwerkerk, we will take care of it!
We deliver what is needed for support
A system for heat recovery is often installed at height. This requires support or certain auxiliary structures. We take care of this as well!
Optimal airflow for a stable process
We usually supply our heat recovery systems with a fan, leaving your current process conditions unchanged.
