Waste Heat Recovery - Geothermal Pond Loop
Using 3D modeling and FEA, Rohde has designed and installed various geothermal pond loop systems to provide heating and cooling. Our innovative approach allows us to capture waste process heat to reduce maintenance and operating costs associated with steam generators, high pressure hot water systems, and cooling towers.
