International Wastewater Heat Exchange Systems (IWHES), or International Wastewater Systems (IWS), is a Canadian public corporation, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, that specializes in wastewater heat recovery.[1] Founded in 2011 by Lynn Mueller, the company operates throughout North America. A subsidiary SHARC Energy Systems, based in Leicester, UK operates throughout Europe.[2]

The company is one of only a few worldwide focusing on waste heat recovery as an alternative energy source, reducing the need to burn fossil fuels. Their systems can be used for domestic hot water production as well as building space heating & cooling.[3]

IWHES's feature product is the Sewage SHARC, a patent pending screen that removes solids from wastewater allowing it to effectively move through a heat exchanger and heat pump.[4]
