Slated for a spring 2016 commissioning, each Power+ Generator will generate onsite power and the residual heat remaining after power generation will be used to increase the site's efficiency and total thermal utilization.
ElectraTherm, a leader in distributed, waste heat to power generation, shipped the Power+ Generator 4400 to a chicken farm in the United Kingdom, its second application in the country to utilize biomass to generate emission-free electricity.
Jon Wellinghoff, Paul Dickerson, Ken Fox and Steffen Hauff join ElectraTherm in advisory roles to provide guidance on the company's strategic and operational development.
The Green Machine fleet spans the globe with 21 commissioned units, the most widely deployed Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology operating at such low temperatures at this scale.
The Green Machine continues to lead the market for low-temperature waste heat to power (WHP) through its robust, proven Organic Rankine Cycle technology to increase efficiency and maximize power output.
UAF estimates that the Green Machine displaces approximately 28,000 gallons of diesel annually. With fuel costs currently exceeding $5/gallon throughout rural Alaska, this equates to an annual savings in excess of $140,000 per gen set. Diesel generators are common power sources in Alaska, and the market potential for power from waste heat in this state is tremendous.
ElectraTherm installed its first Green Machine in Germany at a biogas power generation facility to produce additional electricity without additional fuel or emissions.
ElectraTherm has expanded the power output range of its Series 4000 Green Machine generators by 15kW, now offering customers between 30-65kW of fuel-free, emission-free power from low-grade waste heat.
ElectraTherm was one of 32 companies out of more than 150 nominations selected to present at the Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative (DeVenCI) workshop, hosted by the Department of Defense (DoD), on April 26, 2011.
ElectraTherm's heat to power technology improves energy efficiency alongside such applications as stationary engines; boilers; oil & gas wells; geothermal water; biomass boilers; and concentrated solar thermal.
ElectraTherm's heat-to-power technology can convert many sources of low temperature liquid heat (reciprocating engine waste heat, biomass, process heat, geothermal including oil and gas co-produced fluids, solar thermal, etc.) into power.
