Flue gas cooling and waste heat recovery
Capturing waste energy to lower the cost of carbon capture
For more than 100 years, LJUNGSTRÖM has supported the global power generation industry with engineered heat transfer systems, energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing solutions.
As power producers face rising fuel costs, aging infrastructure, and increasing emissions pressure, LJUNGSTRÖM helps plants recover lost energy, reduce operational risk, and extend the life of critical assets—without disrupting operations.
Gives flexibility in operations.
LJUNGSTRÖM Solutions
for Power Plants
Standards of Excellence
High-Efficiency
Heat Transfer Solutions
LJUNGSTRÖM is a global leader in air preheater and heat exchanger technology designed specifically for power generation environments.
Our systems help power plants:
- Reduce stack temperature and flue-gas heat loss
- Improve boiler efficiency and unit heat rate
- Lower fuel consumption per MWh
- Increase net plant efficiency using existing assets
By recovering energy that would otherwise be wasted, power producers unlock immediate performance gains.
Modernization for Aging
Power Plant Equipment
Many power plants operate assets that are 25–40+ years old. LJUNGSTRÖM specializes in targeted modernization and life-extension solutions that improve reliability without full system replacement.
We support:
- Replacement and upgrades of air preheater internals, bearings, seals, and baskets
- Improve boiler efficiency and unit heat rate
- Early detection of degradation to prevent catastrophic failures
- Reduction of collateral damage to downstream equipment
- Upgrade planning aligned with scheduled outages
This proactive approach minimizes forced outages and stabilizes long-term plant performance.
Advanced Manufacturing
Built for Power Generation
LJUNGSTRÖM’s vertically integrated advanced manufacturing capabilities eliminate supply-chain uncertainty for critical power plant components.
Benefits include:
- Shorter and more predictable lead times
- Precision manufacturing of large, complex components
- Tight quality control from design through fabrication
- Reduced outage risk for schedule-critical replacements
With in-house manufacturing, power plants receive fit-for-purpose components built to perform in harsh operating conditions.
Designed for Harsh
Power Plant Environments
Power generation systems operate under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. LJUNGSTRÖM products are engineered to withstand:
- High temperatures and thermal cycling
- Corrosive and ash-laden flue gas streams
- Fouling, erosion, and continuous operation
The result is longer service life, improved reliability, and lower total cost of ownership.
Supporting Emissions Reduction
and Future-Ready Power Generation
Improving heat transfer efficiency is one of the most effective ways to reduce emissions without changing fuel sources.
LJUNGSTRÖM solutions help power plants:
- Reduce CO₂ emissions
- Lower overall fuel burn
- Improve readiness for carbon capture and energy transition upgrades
Efficiency improvements today create flexibility for tomorrow’s regulatory and operational demands.
LJUNGSTRÖM Products
Regenerative
Air Preheaters
LJUNGSTRÖM Regenerative Air Preheaters are the industry benchmark for improving boiler efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. With decades of proven performance in high-temperature, ash-laden environments. LJUNGSTRÖM Regenerative Air Preheaters have a long service lifespan with upgradeable internal parts and are also compatible with modernization and retrofit programs.
Designed for various types of power plants, biomass and waste-to-energy facilities, utilities, and industrial boilers to:
- Recover heat from flue gas to preheat combustion air
- Lower stack temperatures and reduce heat loss
- Improve boiler efficiency and unit heat rate
- Reduce fuel usage and CO₂ emissions
Air Preheater Internals (Heating Element, Seals & Diaphragms)
Aging or damaged internals are a leading cause of efficiency loss and reliability issues. We aim to restore heat transfer efficiency, reduce air-to-gas leakage, improve draft stability and combustion control, and extend the life of your air preheater.
LJUNGSTRÖM manufactures replacement and upgraded internals including:
- Heat transfer heating element baskets
- Radial and axial sealing systems
- Diaphragms and structural internals
Guide & Support Bearings
for Air Preheaters
Bearing failure is one of the most disruptive risks in rotating heat transfer equipment. We aim to reduce risk of catastrophic air preheater failure, prevent collateral damage to rotors, seals, and castings, and improve the reliability of aging assets.
LJUNGSTRÖM guide and support bearing solutions:
- Designed for continuous operation under high loads
- Engineered for thermal expansion and alignment tolerance
- Available as replacement or upgraded designs
Flue Gas Heat Exchangers
and Gas-Gas Heaters
LJUNGSTRÖM designs custom flue-gas heat exchangers and gas-gas heating systems to stabilize temperatures and protect downstream equipment, improving emissions system performance, reducing corrosion and fouling risk, and enhancing overall system reliability.
Applications Include:
- Flue-gas cooling ahead of emissions control systems
- Gas-gas heating to prevent condensation and corrosion
- Temperature control for SCR, ESP, and FGD systems
Waste Heat Recovery Systems
Every power plant generates recoverable thermal energy. LJUNGSTRÖM systems capture that energy and turn it into usable value. Our Waste Heat Recovery Systems are designed for boiler exhaust streams and turbine exhaust and auxiliary systems, that integrate with existing plant infrastructure.
Waste heat recovery solutions can:
- Produce steam for auxiliary processes
- Offset fuel consumption
- Improve overall plant efficiency
- Support emissions reduction initiatives
