As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment and sustainability, for the past number of years we’ve been operating our own heat recovery system, designed and built in-house.
They ain’t pretty, but these tanks have been responsible for reducing the carbon footprint at Wild Atlantic Seaweed Baths by approximately 35% over the past three and a half years.
As many visitors to our seaweed baths will have noticed, once a bath is finished, we extract the used seawater while it is still warm. This water is then pumped through our heat recovery system, where the remaining heat is used to preheat the incoming seawater.
Importantly, whilst heat is transferred from the used water to the incoming water, the two liquids never mix. This ensures that the heated seawater used in our seaweed baths remains in pristine condition.
However, between seawater corrosion and electrolysis — both of which we did our best to mitigate — the tanks eventually reached the end of their working life and had to be replaced in recent months.
Pics of our new and improved heat recovery system coming soon.
