A new alternative approach to pursue energy conservation and environmental sustainability is by harnessing wasted fuel to generate new energy. Industries can significantly reduce resource waste and environmental impact by converting lost energy from production processes, such as heat dissipation from machinery or inefficient electrical current distribution, into usable energy.
An electrical closed loop system that converted low heat sources to power
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a versatile electricity recovery process. It uses a heat cycle to operates organic substances (hydrocarbons or refrigerants) as the initial substance instead of water, producing energy such as electricity. Due to the lower boiling points and higher vapour pressure of these hydrocarbon compounds or refrigerants, they are suitable for efficient use in various industries, particularly for energy production from low to medium-temperature heat sources ranging from 80 to 400 ํC This versatility makes it a viable option for Petrochemical plants, Geothermal power plants, and Concentrating solar power (CSP) facilities.
Waste Heat Recovery Units (WHRUs) are created to harness lost heat energy by capturing and utilizing recovered heat from exhaust gas to a new energy such as hot water or thermal oil. Examples of WHRUs applications include various industrial facilities such as Cement plants, Power plants, Paper mills, and Chemical plants.
