CHP Steam Applications

Deploying Capstone technology, Pure World Energy (PWE) can configure bespoke generation schemes for a variety of electricity and heat loads such as Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW), process steam, or cooling requirements, by passing the heat through absorption chillers.

This can benefit an array of industrial / commercial processes, such as food manufacturing, chemical production and more.

Capstone microturbines produce a large volume of clean and oxygen-rich exhaust, which is recovered by a heat recovery steam generator. The heat recovery steam generator includes an internal exhaust bypass damper and optional duct burner to produce and modulate high-pressure steam while maintaining ultra-low emissions and high fuel efficiencies.

System efficiency can be further boosted by utilising the excess heat, captured via a heat exchanger, to generate additional hot water for other local processes.

A unique solution from PWE & SAACKE

Pure World Energy, in partnership with SAACKE Combustion Services Limited, can provide a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solution without the need for a waste heat boiler.

Traditionally, a waste heat boiler is required to duct the exhaust heat that is produced by the CHP to the facility in the form of thermal energy. The PWE / SAACKE solution involves the retro-fitting of a specially engineered SAACKE burner to the existing steam boiler. The Capstone CHP microturbine exhaust heat is ducted directly into the SAACKE burner, pre-heating the combustion air, which delivers thermal energy to the facility.

This is a unique but proven solution that not only provides significant energy savings to an organisation, but also mitigates against the financial, operational and space constraints of alternative solutions.
