Transform waste water into an energy-saving resource.
Condensate recovery systems capture and reuse the relatively cool, clean water produced by air conditioning coils, reducing makeup water demand, sewage discharge, and chiller energy consumption. EKG Malaysia designs and installs engineered recovery systems for large MEP installations, turning a disposal cost into a sustainability asset for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings.
How It Works & Benefits:
Collection: Condensate from multiple AHUs/FCUs is piped to a central collection tank.
Treatment & Filtration: Basic filtration and, if needed, UV sterilization to ensure water quality.
Reuse Applications:
Cooling Tower Makeup Water: The primary use, reducing potable water consumption by 10–30% and lowering cooling tower blowdown.
Pre-Cooling for Chillers: Used in a plate heat exchanger to pre-cool condenser water, improving chiller efficiency.
Landscape Irrigation & Toilet Flushing: Where local codes permit.
Key System Components We Provide:
Collection Network: Dedicated, sloped piping from drain pans to a central sump.
Storage & Balancing Tank: Sized to handle daily condensate yield and reuse demand.
Transfer Pump Skid: With duty/standby pumps, controls, and filtration.
Water Quality Monitoring: pH, conductivity, and microbial controls as required.
Integration Controls: BMS-linked for automatic operation and data logging.
Why Recover Condensate?
Water Savings: Significant reduction in municipal water bills, critical for water-stressed regions.
Energy Savings: Cool condensate (typically ~15°C) reduces cooling tower fan and chiller compressor energy.
Sustainability Credits: Contributes directly to GBI, LEED, WELL, and GreenRE certification points.
Reduced Sewage Costs: Lower discharge volumes reduce trade waste charges.
CSR & Operational Resilience: Demonstrates environmental stewardship and reduces reliance on external water supply.
Our Engineering & Design Service:
Feasibility Study: Analyzing condensate yield vs. reuse potential for your specific building and climate.
Hydraulic & Plumbing Design: Integrating recovery with existing MEP systems.
Water Quality Management: Ensuring compliance with local authorities (e.g., SYABAS, Indah Water) for intended reuse.
Turnkey Installation: From piping and tank installation to pump skid commissioning.
Performance Monitoring: Setting up metering to verify savings and ROI.
Turn a liability into a resource.
A professionally engineered condensate recovery system delivers measurable operational savings and environmental benefits.
