Commercial solutions

One platform, sized to the building.

HERU is a platform rather than a product line. Units are sized by two things: the authorised materials a building generates, and the hot water it needs. Not by whether it is a shop, a surgery or a care home.

Commercial first

The platform is being brought to market commercially before anywhere else. Commercial premises have predictable material generation, steady hot water demand and the operational case to justify the investment — and building at commercial volumes provides economy of scale, which drives unit cost down.

Residential follows once that has happened. It is covered under Future Developments.

The platform

Three units, introduced in sequence.

Available first

HERU 125

Two cycles is roughly equivalent to one 1100-litre wheeled container.

Chamber
One 125-litre chamber
Throughput
Approximately 30 kg per cycle at 34% moisture content
With pre-compaction
With pre-compaction at a 4:1 ratio, approximately 120 kg per cycle — roughly two 1100-litre containers per cycle.
Suited to
Commercial premises currently using an 1100-litre wheeled container.

In development

HERU 35

Sized for smaller professional premises rather than container volumes.

Chamber
The smallest unit in the range
Throughput
Suited to lower material volumes
Suited to
Smaller professional premises — veterinary practices, GP surgeries, dental practices and similar.

In development

HERU 250

Two cycles is roughly equivalent to two 1100-litre wheeled containers.

Chamber
Two 125-litre chambers
Throughput
Approximately 60 kg per cycle at 34% moisture content
With pre-compaction
With pre-compaction at a 4:1 ratio, approximately 240 kg per cycle — roughly four 1100-litre containers per cycle.
Suited to
Larger commercial premises and organisations operating multiple containers.

Figures describe throughput per operating cycle. Compaction equipment, where referenced, is specified and purchased separately.

Installed as building infrastructure

A HERU unit is plant. It is installed, commissioned and operated in the same way as other building services, under a prescribed operating method, using only authorised materials.

What it produces goes back into the building that generated the materials in the first place. The recovered heat can be used for hot water, for space heating, or for both — depending on what the building needs and how the unit is integrated.
