A Powerful Breakthrough
Arcturus: Leading the Way in
Emissions-Free Steam
With the right steam-generating heat pump, industrial manufacturers can improve overall operational efficiency, lower energy costs, and achieve substantial reductions in emissions.
Meet Skyven Arcturus: The industrial steam-generating heat pump with a standardized design that produces emissions-free, boiler-quality steam without downtime or process disruption.
By decreasing, or even eliminating, the workload of existing boilers, Skyven Arcturus reduces your natural gas usage, significantly lowering on-site emissions from industrial steam.
No other technology can do the same.
With zero downtime and no CapEx required from industrial manufacturers, Skyven Arcturus helps companies efficiently and reliably generate steam.
Key Benefits
A cost-effective solution to emissions-free industrial steam.
Best Economics
Leverages high efficiencies (COP) to outperform traditional boilers
Highest Temperature Lift
Upgrades low temperature heat to as high as 420°F (215°C) with a max lift of 330°F (166°C)

Replicable
Standardized design and integration for replication across your facilities.

Efficient, Eco-Friendly
Improve Energy Efficiency with Emissions-Free Steam
Skyven Arcturus is a mechanical vapor recompression steam-generating heat pump (MVR SGHP) that captures low-temperature heat rejected from industrial processes, increases the temperature of that heat (as high as 420°F / 215°C), and uses it to generate steam at the same temperature, pressure, and quality of existing boilers. Existing boilers remain in place as a backup to provide system redundancy.
- Increased Energy Efficiency: 3x more efficient than standard natural gas boilers.
- High Performance: Achieves higher coefficient of performance (COP) and higher temperature lift than any other heat pump on the market.
- Environmentally Friendly: Water refrigerant is inexpensive, non-toxic, and has 0 Global Warming Potential (GWP).
- Significantly Reduces Emissions: On average, eliminates 57% of facility-level emissions and up to 100% of process steam emissions.
Simple, Streamlined
Seamless Installation Avoids Disruption and Preserves Profitability
We install our Skyven Arcturus industrial heat pump in tandem with your existing steam generation system, which provides several key advantages:
- Seamless Installation: Installation is independent of existing production processes, which means no disruption to current facility operations.
- Zero Downtime: Construction is done while the plant is operating and connections are made during regularly scheduled maintenance, resulting in zero additional downtime.
- Standardized Integration: Connects to existing steam headers and waste heat sources.
- Increased Reliability: Additional, redundant steam generation system for maximum efficiency and reliability.
- Lowest-Cost Steam: The facility can generate steam from Skyven Arcturus or existing boilers, whichever generates the lowest-cost steam at any given time.
Our process combines your facility’s unique needs with our industry-leading technology to significantly reduce emissions, profitably.

Arcturus Coefficient of Performance (COP)
COP is an expression of efficiency and varies as a function of heat source temperature, steam output pressure, and temperature lift. Arcturus achieves COPs ranging from 2.1 to more than 8.0 depending on temperature lift.
The chart below shows Arcturus COP’s at various heat source temperatures with common steam output pressures and temperatures.

Industrial heat pumps have the opportunity to improve efficiency and dramatically cut emissions from industrial thermal processes.
