3 Company Introduction Turboden is a leading European company in development and production of ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) turbogenerators. This state of the art equipment generates heat and power from renewable sources and heat recovery in industrial processes. The company was founded in 1980 in Milan by Eng. Mario Gaia, former Professor of Energy at the Polytechnic of Milan, and today the Managing Director of Turboden. His close connection with the university has always ensured the recruitment of highly qualified R&D personnel. Turboden has always had a single mission: design ORC turbogenerators for the production of heat and electrical power from renewable sources, while constantly striving to implement ORC technical solutions. In 2009, Turboden became part of Pratt & Whitney (UTC Corp.), a worldwide leader in development, production and service for aero engines, aerospace drive systems and heavy duty gas turbines. Today Turboden is part of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (PWPS), to develop ORC solutions from renewable sources and waste heat worldwide. 3

5 What We Do Biomass Geothermal electricity Solar heat Waste-heat Turboden designs and develops turbogenerators based on the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), a technology for the combined generation of heat and electrical power from various renewable sources, particularly suitable for distributed generation. standard units from 600 kw to 6 MW customized solutions up to 15 MW 5

6 ORC based heat recovery plants The Thermodynamic Principle of ORC Cycle The turbogenerator uses the hot temperature thermal oil to pre-heat and vaporize a suitable organic working fluid in the evaporator (8 3 4). The organic fluid vapor powers the turbine (4 5), which is directly coupled to the electric generator through an elastic coupling. The exhaust vapor flows through the regenerator (5 9) where it heats the organic liquid (2 8). The vapor is then condensed in the condenser (cooled by the water flow) (9 6 1). The organic fluid liquid is finally pumped (1 2) to the regenerator and then to the evaporator, thus completing the sequence of operations in the closed-loop circuit. 6

7 ORC based heat recovery plants: Integration scheme to Cement Plant 7

8 ORC based heat recovery plants: Main advantages Presence of an intermediate loop (thermal oil or pressurised water) ease of control and operation, even when big fluctuations in primary heat sources great layout flexibility automated and unmanned systems High molecular weight of organic working fluid low enthalpy drop across the turbine low turbine peripheral speed (low mechanical stress and no reduction gear) reduced number of turbine stages high mass flow turbine efficiency > 80 %, good part load efficiencies No corrosion attitudes of working fluids long life of the system and low maintenance requirements Zero Water consumption configuration (option) no water management activities (ph and salts control, water refilling) no water needed low operation requirements, no water depletion 8

14 Heat recovery from Electric Arc Furnace 25% 30% of the power inserted in the furnace is lost in the exhaust C C C 70% of the lost power could be recovered ORC Target: 3-5% of the EAF installed power 14

15 Heat recovery from Electric Arc Furnace PROJECT IN A GERMAN IRON&STEEL FACTORY Exhaust gas from EAF (100 t) with steam production Primary heat source: exhaust gas from EAF Steam production: The steam is produced from two different heat sources: 1. Pipe to pipe duct, modified to work with pressurized water at the boiling point 2. Substitution of the quenching tower with a shell and tubes heat exchanger which produces steam. Steam produced: ~ 30 t/h of steam at 27 bar C Steam available for the ORC unit: ~ 20 t/h of steam at 27 bar and 245 C (10 t/h is delivered to an industrial process) Gross power output ORC unit: ~ 3 Mwe High flexibility of the heat recovery system: the ORC properly operates with a steam flow rate between 2 and 22 t/h, automatically adapting its operation to the different operating conditions THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY FOLLOWS THE EAF MELTING CYCLE 15
