MUMBAI, India, June 19 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617056701 A) filed by Basf Se on May 04, 2026, for Waste Heat Recovery System For Generation Of Industrial Steam.
Inventors include Koller, Ute Silvia; Haus, Johannes Felix; Bouaswaig, Ala Eldin Farag; and Milioni, Andrea.
The application for the patent was published on June 05, 2026, under issue no. 23/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a waste heat recovery system for generation of steam for chemical industrial plants, comprising a chemical industrial plant operable in a batchwise manner and having at least one coolable reactor (2) connected to a primary circuit, wherein the at least one reactor (2) is designed such that a reaction of a reaction mixture takes place during the operation of the reactor (2) and the waste heat that arises as a result of the cooling of the reactor (2) flows through the primary circuit as the first heat transfer fluid either in the form of a heated liquid or in the form of the reaction mixture itself, wherein the primary circuit fluidically connects the reactor (2) to a first heat transferrer (9) such that the first heat transfer fluid is cooled in the first heat transferrer (9) and then is returned to the reactor (2) for cooling of the reactor (2), and a secondary circuit comprising a separate second heat transfer fluid which is coupled to the first heat transferrer (9) such that, during the operation of the at least one reactor (2), the second heat transfer fluid is heated by the first heat transfer fluid, and the secondary circuit, proceeding from the first heat transferrer (9), fluidically interconnects a downstream first heat storage unit (10), an evaporator unit (13) downstream of the first heat storage unit (10), a second heat storage unit (14) downstream of the evaporator unit (13), and the first heat transferrer (9) downstream of the second heat storage unit (14), resulting in completion of the secondary circuit, wherein the evaporator unit (13) is designed such that steam is generated during the operation of the waste heat recovery system and said steam is preferably fed to at least one compressor (18).
