Using the waste energy generated in any production process is the one of possible ways of increasing energy efficiency. In the industrial cultivation of vegetable sprouts for food purposes, significant amounts of low-temperature waste heat are released, the source of which is the metabolic processes taking place inside the seeds. In typical installations, this energy is lost to the environment, while it could be utilised, for example, to heating the water used to irrigate the plants. This paper presents a concept of utilizing waste heat generated during the germination process of seeds using plate heat exchangers and the analysis of the potential for reducing the energy consumption of installations for vegetable sprout production. For this purpose, transient simulations were conducted using a developed simulation model of the technological line in Flownex Simulation Environment. In order to formulate a reliable simulation model, relevant device parameters and process data were collected. After building the model and calibrating it appropriately, an analysis of the variability of the values of all process parameters was performed, and the potential for recovering waste heat was determined. The results obtained from numerical modelling were verified against the results obtained from the production line and shows, that the amount of recoverable waste heat in the entire production cycle was about 5 GJ.
