Real-World Results with the Flue Gas Recovery (FGR)
Description about result, impact or how we help our customer to achieve their goal.
Hands-On Innovation Mohawk College
Mohawk College partnered with Carbon Cap Inc. to support the automation and monitoring of its heat recovery system, helping boost boiler efficiency and cut emissions. Through hands-on collaboration, students and faculty developed the system’s automation, Human-Machine Interface, and remote monitoring tools. The project, funded by Ontario Centres of Excellence and Bloom, gave students real-world experience while advancing clean technology solutions.
Mock Facility Testing
A Watershed technology report showed that Carbon Cap’s Flue Gas Recovery (FGR) system can cut natural gas use by 15–25% in multi-residential buildings by capturing waste heat from boiler exhaust. Tested on an atmospheric boiler, the system recovered nearly all flue gas energy using an air-to-water heat exchanger to preheat domestic hot water. Results confirm strong technical performance and highlight FGR’s potential as a cost-effective retrofit for improving boiler efficiency.
SAISS Technology Report
Carbon Cap’s Flue Gas Recovery (FGR) system cuts natural gas use by up to 24% in multi-residential buildings by capturing waste heat from boiler exhaust to preheat water or air. A Toronto pilot showed average savings of 14%, along with reduced emissions and recoverable water, making it a practical and efficient retrofit solution.
Full year results building deployment report
In continuous operation since February 2023, Carbon Cap’s FGR-10 system has proven to be an economical and effective retrofit for reducing natural gas use and emissions by capturing waste heat from boiler exhaust. A Toronto installation delivered an average 14% savings over 13 months, helping building operators lower energy costs and meet sustainability goals with minimal disruption.
