Biomass EXERGY - Our solution for power generation from biomass

In addition, the elimination of the steam turbine for traditional biomass solutions brings with it a number of maintenance and operational advantages.

The EXERGY solution for power generation from biomass is an ORC module utilizing the Radial Outflow Turbine coupled with a biomass boiler. The ORC module can be used to produce electrical power and thermal power, the latter utilized for combined heat and power production (CHP) purposes such as:

• 1. ELIMINATE OR REDUCE WASTE DISPOSAL

  ---

  A biomass power plant utilizes waste organic matters from industrial processing to produce electricity, eliminating the issue and the costs of waste disposal.

• 2. REDUCE ENERGY COSTS

  ---

  Biomass power plants generate electricity from waste organic resources replacing purchased energy, thereby reducing energy costs. 

• 3. REDUCED OPERATING COSTS

  ---

  Reduced energy costs and waste disposal also contributes to reducing operating costs.

• 4. MINIMIZE DEPENDENCY ON TRADITIONAL ELECTRICITY SYSTEM

  ---

  Biomass power plants produce electricity that can directly be employed to power industrial processes or residential needs representing an easier and more reliable access to electricity for those remote or isolated sites with difficult access to the grid.

• 5. EXPLOIT THE VERSATILITY OF A WASTE RESOURCE

  ---

  Biomass plants can produce both electricity and thermal power for heating purposes thus performing two tasks and becoming a very profitable solution for your business.

• 6. REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY

  ---

  Biomass power plants utilizing secondary or tertiary waste biomass for power production substitute the use of fossil fuels and thus reduce SOx, NOx and CO2 emissions as well as the amount of waste in landfills. 

The biomass feed of the boiler that can be exploited as "fuel" includes for example wood industry leftovers, olive waste or other secondary biomass.
