Sofame’s product offering includes:

The PERCOMAX ^TM , a "DIRECT-CONTACT" natural gas fired water heater heats water to temperatures as high as 185°F (85°C). In a PERCOMAX combustion occurs in a fully modulating, integrated gas burner. Cold water enters the unit at the top and is then uniformly distributed over the upper surface of a packing of stainless steel nodules which constitutes the heat transfer zone. The water percolates down through the packing where it comes in "direct-contact" with the rising, hot products of combustion. Both the sensible and latent heat contained in the gas are transferred to the water. The products of combustion are generated by a fully modulating, integrated, natural gas burner. The heated water collecting at the bottom of the unit is then pumped directly to the process, or across a plate and frame heat exchanger to transfer its energy to a building heating loop or process fluid.

The PERCOTHERM, a "DIRECT-CONTACT" condensing stack economizer recuperates the residual heat contained in a boiler's flue gas and transfers the heat to a cold water stream. Hot water is produced at temperatures as high as 140°F (60°C). Cold water enters the unit at the top and is then uniformly distributed over the upper surface of a packing of stainless steel nodules which constitutes the heat transfer zone. The water percolates down through the packing where it comes in "direct-contact" with the rising, hot products of combustion. 

The LAUNREC RBT, a complete heat reclaim system, recovers the energy contained in the waste water of industrial laundries and textile dye houses. The recovered energy is used to preheat a secondary water stream to within 8°F (4.5°C) of the waste water temperature transferred to the water. 

The SOFAME STEAM PUMP, a “DIRECT-CONTACT” stack economizer, can be added to an existing boiler to improve the efficiency and lower (NOx) emissions through humid combustion. It solves a problem commonly encountered in power plants, where there is no heat sink to absorb all the heat recovered from the boilers’ stacks.
