There are waste gases mixed with a large amount of steam durng sugar manufacture. The temperature of the waste gases is less than 100 °C. The condensation temperature of steam is less than 70 °C. Significant amounts of thermal energy can only be recovered below this temperature. The technical cost of such a process would be very high. There are therefore technical and economic limits to the use of these heat flows.
