Energent Corporation applications
In the oil and gas field there is a significant opportunity to recover a substantial amount of energy and increase plant production by utilizing Energent`s two-phase turbine technology. A highlight of these opportunities lies within the liquid natural gas (LNG) extraction process. By replacing liquid J-T valves with the Variable Phase Turbine, power can be recovered, and more importantly, the liquid fraction can be increased improving the plant output by up to 6-7%.
Energent`s energy recovery technology has applications in many industrial fields. Waste heat is defined as heat produced by machines, electrical equipment and industrial processes for which no useful application is found, and is regarded as a waste by-product. Such heat can be produced by diesel engines or exhausted as flue gases. Utilizing Energent`s patented Variable Phase Cycle or high-efficiency Variable Phase Turbine in an Organic Rankine Cycle, these wasted energy sources can be used to produce valuable electricity.
Commercial buildings using steam for heating or cooling can generate power by replacing pressure reducing valves with the Microsteam� Turbine. The power system is configured in a vertical arrangement, minimizing the system`s footprint allowing for installation in crowded equipment rooms where space is limited. Up to 275 kW of electrical power can be generated. The system is skid-mounted, with controls and a switchgear connected at the factory and is completely automatic, enabling unattended operation. Microsteam®Turbines have been installed in commercial buildings throughout New York City, including 7 World Trade Center (pictured to the right) and the Rolex Building (pictured below), producing megawatts of power and saving hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Large institutions such as colleges, universities, and hospitals present excellent opportunities to recover lost energy by utilizing Energent`s Microsteam® Turbine Power System. Often, a large amount of steam energy is wasted when high pressure steam is reduced to low pressure steam for heating and cooling processes. In many large institutions, this wasted energy can be harnessed to produce valuable electricity, lowering electricity costs and carbon emissions.
