China Energy Recovery, Inc (CER) a leader in the waste heat energy recovery sector, was granted a 10-year patent covering its cement kiln forced-circulated waste heat recovery boiler technology.

The patent was authorized by the State Intellectual Property Office of People’s Republic of China and granted to CER Energy Recovery on Jan. 20 of this year.

Cement plant waste heat boilers are a new technology developed by Vice General Manager and senior engineer at CER Shanghai, Wang Weiqing. CER is the only company currently using this technology and it expects, after further R&D, to develop new energy recovery technology solutions for energy intensive industrial processes.

"CER is committed to investing the resources necessary to develop leading-edge technologies that reduce harmful emissions and enable its customers to realize increased margins and a reduced energy footprint," said Qinghuan Wu, CER’s Chief Executive Officer. "The patent for the cement plant waste heat boilers is CER’s first step toward a new waste energy recovery technology that can deliver significant reductions in energy demand."
