INCREASE YOUR ENERGY EFFICIENCY WITH ORC TECHNOLOGY.

WASTE HEAT RECOVERY APPLICATION
Turboden Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) units can produce electricity by recovering residual low-grade heat
from industrial processes and from internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and fuel cells operating on
open cycle.
The generated power ranges up to 20 MW electric per single shaft.
Waste Heat Recovery Plants: 34

Total Capacity: 79.2 MWe

carbon black, etc.

WHY CHOOSE ORC FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY?
Generate profit from leveraging a waste heat source
Reduce specific production cost by decreasing energy demand

Improve energy-intensive industry sustainability
Reduce CO2 emissions

THE ORC CYCLE – HOW IT WORKS
The ORC turbogenerator uses
medium-to-high temperature
thermal oil to preheat and vaporize
a suitable organic working fluid in
the evaporator (4>5). MAIN HEAT SOURCE
The organic fluid vapor rotates the

turbine (5>6), which is directly
coupled to the electric generator,
resulting in clean, reliable electric
power.
The exhaust vapor flows through
the regenerator (6>7), where it
heats the organic liquid (2>3) and
is then condensed in the
condenser and cooled by the
cooling circuit (7>8>1).
The organic working fluid is then
pumped (1>2) into the regenerator
and evaporator, thus completing
the closed-cycle operation.
The waste heat from production process is transferred to the ORC working fluid by means of an intermediate
circuit or directly via the exhaust gases in direct exchange systems. The media used in the intermediate
circuits are thermal oil, saturated steam or superheated water.

WASTE HEAT RECOVERY IN CEMENT INDUSTRY
In cement production process,

Turboden ORC systems can produce
electric power by recovering waste
heat from two hot gas streams:
 kiln pre-heater (PH) gas
 clinker cooler (CC) gas
Turboden ORC systems are easy to

integrate, with no impact on
industrial process or prime
equipment (engine, gas turbine)
operation.
