In small biomass plants, ORC technology is the ideal choice due to its high efficiency, availability and ability to follow load dependent on fuel supply.

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