Waste Heat Recovery for Manufacturing Industries
Every kiln, furnace, dryer and curing chamber loses heat it doesn’t need to lose. We help energy-intensive manufacturers recover it, turning wasted process heat into lower gas bills and lower carbon emissions.
Why Now
Gas and Carbon costs aren’t getting any cheaper
What We Do
Heat decarbonisation solutions, delivered end to end
Gas prices have been volatile for several years now, and there's no strong signal that's about to change. At the same time, the costs of the UK Emission Trading Scheme are on a rising trajectory as it links to the wider European Emissions Trading Scheme.
If your process runs on gas, both of those costs land directly on your bottom line. Industrial waste heat recovery is one of the few decarbonisation routes that pay for themselves through lower energy bills.
Heatcatcher designs builds and maintains energy recovery systems for manufacturers who want to minimise process integration downtime, increase their engineering resource and gain best available technology expertise.
We're not equipment resellers. We're independent, technology-agnostic engineers who assess your process, recommend the right approach for your site, and manage delivery from first heat recovery study through to installation, commissioning and ongoing monitoring.

Installation and commissioning
ongoing performance tracking for operational improvements and savings verification.
Optimisation and monitoring
We've worked closely with Heatcatcher for several years now, across multiple sites, and they bring engineering design, project management and specification skills that we simply don't
have in-house. They've built up a really strong understanding of how our industry and our processes work, and they're genuinely open to feedback — willing to go back and redesign something if it doesn't suit how we need to operate. With the team we've delivered
together, with Warnham having produced real, proven results. I wouldn't have any hesitation recommending them, and I already have
Greg Crownshaw - Wienerberger Thermal Process Engineer
Heatcatcher have been open and honest with us from day one — they only commit to what they're comfortable delivering, and they deliver what they
say they will. Beyond the engineering, having access to their expertise gives us the confidence and evidence base to justify our projects, both internally and in grant applications. It's a genuinely collaborative relationship: we work together to spot challenges
and opportunities, rather than waiting for a problem to arise and Heatcatcher gets involved.

Heatcatcher supported Pilkington Technology Management Ltd with a successful application for the Industrial Heat Recovery Support funding scheme. Our team enjoyed working with Heatcatcher’s professional approach
to quantify a solution for recovering the waste heat from our glass furnace exhaust to heat our factory space and reduce carbon emissions. We were very encouraged by the Feasibility Study outcomes.
