Turboden ORC units can produce electricity by recovering heat from industrial processes and in combined cycles with reciprocating engines and gas turbines. The power of Turboden turbo generators in this application generally ranges up to 20 MW electric per single shaft.
Turboden Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) units enable power production (up to 20 MW per single turbine) by recovering excess waste heat from the exhausts of gas turbines or reciprocating engines, or from the hot streams typical in Oil & Gas industry. ORC turbogenerators provide a solution to improving the efficiency of typical Oil & Gas processes, by allowing users to reduce their environmental footprint through converting waste, high-to-low grade heat, into mechanical/electric power.
In combined cycles, Turboden ORC units can be installed downstream of gas turbines and reciprocating engines, producing electricity by recovering waste heat. In both cases the combined cycle achieves an efficiency greater than 50%. The power of Turboden turbogenerators in this application generally ranges up to 20 MW electric per single shaft.
ST&P, Turboden Steam & Power ORC system, is a new technical solution for Combined Heat & Power (CHP) generation, with a very high overall energy efficiency, directly employed in manufacturing and industrial processes. It allows the production of electricity and a valuable high temperature heat carrier, such as steam, directly exploitable in manufacturing processes.
The ORC technology is particularly suitable for the exploitation of medium-to-low enthalpy sources. It is a cost-effective solution with power outputs reaching up to 40 MWe per single generator for sources with water temperature from 100°C to 200°C or higher.
