Approximately one fifth of the global energy consumption is used for industrial process heat. Even though some of this heat is used for the products themselves, a large portion of this energy remains unused.
85°C
Minimal temperature needed for the production of electrical energy
250°C
Minimal temperature needed for power production from exhaust gases
20 kW
Smallest electrical power output of our waste heat recovery equipment
Typical industries that generate waste heat are:
- Steelmaking
- Cement manufacturing
- Glass production
- Refineries
- Chemical plants
- Ceramics Manufacturing
- Copper production
- Aluminium production
- and many others...
Commonly waste heat from before mentioned processes is available as warm water with temperatures around 100°C or low pressure water steam. These heat sources can be utilized with our screw expander low temperature units.
For waste heat that comes from hot exhaust gases with temperatuers exceeding ~200°C we offer our high temperature turbine units. With a thermal oil cycle the heat from the exhaust gases can be collected even from multiple sources and transported efficiently to our turbine ORC-systems.
