GKT wins the TRIGOS 2026 for climate protection
GKT has won the TRIGOS 2026 in the Climate Protection category with CompriVAP, its solution for industrial waste heat recovery. The award recognizes GKT’s approach to turning unused waste heat into a valuable energy resource for industrial processes.
Based on Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR), CompriVAP utilizes and upgrades liquid or gaseous waste heat to generate process steam. This reduces primary energy demand and CO₂ emissions while offering significant potential to lower operating costs.
