Free Electricity from Existing Saturated High / Low Pressure Steam

What is Cogeneration? As the word CO-GEN goes, it signifies two separate Generations, co-existing at the same time.

In this case it is simultaneous production of electrical energy and useful thermal energy in the form of steam

A common misnomer is that energy is being produced. Cogeneration does not produce energy, it merely converts Heat to Electrical energy.

We at CTMI have taken it a step further and are offering Cost effective Pressure reducing Power stations where even minute pressure drops across the PRV/PRDS can be routed through the specially Designed CTMI steam turbines and generate incidental power

The Hidden Resource

  • Most steam users can now benefit from cogeneration, regardless of size
  • Steam is generated in industry at higher than required pressure
  • Usage pressure is generally much lower than generation pressure process
  • Steam is let-down in a Pressure Reducing Desuperheting Station (PRDS)from Header Pressure to the Usage Pressure
  • The Pressure Energy (Potential Energy) is converted to useless Turbulence & Noise in the in PRV
  • This Pressure Energy can be converted to useful Electrical Power by passing the steam through a Back Pressure Steam Turbine

NEED FOR CO-GENERATION

  • Grid power cost has gone up.
  • Uncertain and unreliable power availability.
  • High maintenance and running costs of D.G. Sets.
  • Heavy competition in industry leading to lower realizations and profitability
  • Helps conserve our environment
  • BUT MOST OF ALL FREE POWER
