What We Do
Sidel Systems proudly manufactures the full line of SRU Series Flue Gas Waste Heat Recovery Units. We help companies and government agencies save money on energy bills while reducing CO2 emissions and creating usable distilled water as a byproduct of operating our equipment. This equipment can be retrofitted to your existing boiler systems or installed with new equipment.
Save Money
By significantly increasing the energy efficiency of natural gas appliances with an SRU Flue Gas Condenser, and then using the recovered waste heat energy to produce electricity, we help our clients lower their electrical bills and water costs. Money that was literally “going up the chimney” goes back on your bottom line as newfound profit.
Reduce C02 Emissions
By reducing the quantity of heat energy from going up your chimney, we automatically lower CO2 emissions. For every 1 million Btu’s of heat energy that is recovered and utilized, 117 lbs of CO2 does NOT go into the atmosphere This not only helps the environment, but also improves the public perception of your company or organization. As the “green revolution” gains momentum throughout the world, our products help you promote your efforts as an authentic, environmentally friendly organization.
Create New Water
In every 1 million Btu’s of combusted natural gas are 5 gallons of recoverable distilled water. By removing the heat energy, usable water is created which is a natural byproduct of our high-efficiency technology. Every gallon of water created by a Sidel SRU unit is a gallon you didn’t have to purchase. This benefits water conservation and your bottom line. There are many applications for which this water can be used.
Condensing flue gas recovery systems have been used around the world for more than 30 years. In most applications, savings of 8% to 18% are realized. This is significant considering cost of natural gas. What natural gas is not wasted today, will be there to be used another day.
The Sidel SRU series waste heat recovery units are built in North America in accordance with ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) codes. Our systems can be installed with any natural gas or LPG fired power burner boiler or heating unit.
“The Energy Efficiency Experts”
Our clients have been saving money and helping the environment long before “going green” was trendy. Back in 1978, we specialized in the design and installation of warm water heating systems for the commercial greenhouse industry. Greenhouse structures have a very high heat loss factor, so it’s extremely important to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. The flue gas condenser was almost as important piece of equipment as the boiler itself. Building on our success within that industry we have become true experts in energy efficiency. Today, Sidel Systems Flue Gas Condensers are among the most energy efficient, cost effective flue gas waste heat recovery units in the world.
Our Founders
Sid Abma and his wife Ellen, who lived in Canada at the time, founded Sidel Systems Ltd. in 1978. In 1992 they incorporated in California and their company became Sidel Systems USA Inc.
Sid and Ellen are both intimately involved in the daily operations of the company. Despite the organization’s growth over the years Sid still insists on being the primary contact for his clients. That personal involvement and commitment to unparalleled customer service are key reasons why Sidel Systems has successfully helped hundreds of clients achieve their energy-savings goals, and why Sid offers a 4-point, 100% personal guarantee on all of our units.
Sid is one of those people who always seems to have a positive attitude and considers each new contact he makes to be a friend he hadn’t met before. Sid’s gift for providing helpful information while putting people at ease helps make Sidel Systems one of the most respected companies in our industry. The word “pressure” is not in Sid’s vocabulary. He is a strong servant-leader who brings out the best in others. His goal, as always, is to leave clients, associates and business prospects happy to know him.
Our Mission
Ask Sid why he and Ellen are in business, and he’ll give you two reasons: The first is to serve their clients by helping them increase their energy efficiency, reduce their carbon footprint and conserve water, while delivering the best value and service available. Sid truly cares about taking great care of his clients and refuses to do business any other way. The second reason our company exists is because Sid and Ellen are committed to changing the world – one individual, family or community at a time.
