ŞIŞECAM
Client name:
SISECAM
Plant Location:
TARGOVISHTE, BULGARIA
Date of implementation:
2015
Plant size:
5 MWE
Application:
HEAT RECOVERY (GLASS MILL)
Model Used:
EPS 500
Inlet temperature of termal oil:
300 C°
Outlet temperature of termal oil:
150 C°
Cooling type:
DIRECT AIR CONDENSER
Generator voltage:
MV
Installation:
OUTDOOR
The ORC technology provided by EXERGY applied to the float glass mill in Targovishte exploits the hot fumes generated to produce 5 MWe electricity.The ORC system works by the vaporizing of the organic fluid absorbibg the energy from the intermediate fluid and then passing to the turbine. Here it expands, causing the turbine to spin and creates electricity at the generator. Sisecam and Area Impianti’s choice to install EXERGY‘s highly efficient EPS Radial Outflow Turbine revealed the best solution to harness the maximum amount of waste heat and increase the electrical efficiency of the installation.
Today the Sisecam Targovishte plant produces “greener” electricity, saving 14,000 tons of CO2 and 7,100 tons of oil equivalent per year. The high efficiency of the EXERGY product reduces the plant’s energy consumption and carbon footprint contribution positively to the environment.
