Industrial & Process Heating
Thermal solar energy delivers heat day and night.
Sunmark solar thermal installations are effective and the ideal solution for industrial companies with a high consumption of hot water, heating and cooling.
A solar energy installation greatly reduces energy cost and will strengthen the environmental profile of the company. The investment in an installation means independency from other energy sources where prices have been ever increasing over the years – a trend that will continue. Due to increased production capacity, advanced technology and increased competition, the price for a large scale solar plant has reached a level where the ROI (return on investment) as well as savings over the lifetime of a installation is very attractive and outcompeting other alternatives as well. This means that solar thermal energy can compete with most of the conventional energy sources.
An important factor of a solar heating installation is that the warm water generated through the day can be stored. The water, which is heated up during the day, is stored in tanks and can therefore be used day and night.
The solar thermal installations from Sunmark are easy to integrate into existing energy systems optimizing the entire energy supply of the facility.
- Low energy cost without the aid of subsidies
- Reliable energy supply for the coming 25+ years.
- Leading and proven high efficiency technology, with practically no need for maintenance.
- CO2 free energy supply.
- Pay-back time in Northern Europe is 6-9 years and in Asia 3-4 years.
In several specific industry sectors, such as food, wine and beverages, transport equipment, machinery, textiles, pulp and paper, the share of heat demand at low temperatures (below 100°C). 55% (POSHIP 2001). Tapping into this waste potential would provide a significant solar contribution to industrial energy requirements.
