                Which Option Is Best?                               a.   The conventional economizer
                     Based on a number of general assessments       b.   The indirect-contact condensing heat ex-
                considering all facts involved in economic bene-         changer
                fits, engineering criteria, installing and operating   c.   Direct contact flue gas condensation heat re-
                waste heat recovery systems; three primary sys-          covery
                tems have evolved as being very good prospects
                for waste heat recovery. The waste heat recovery         Table 12.5, summarizes the merits and lim-
                systems which showed the most promise and ap-       itations of various heat recovery alternatives.
                plicability are:
