Exploiting waste heat in industrial processes and power generation systems
The complexity in designing ORC plants meant only niche applications with large uniform heat sources, e.g. geothermal, could be exploited commercially. Orcan developed a new generation of ORC products based on a modular design. These ORC units are much more versatile and feature significantly lower LCOEs, even reaching the level of baseload electricity driven by fossil fuels. Orcan is the leading supplier of such modular and compact ORC products, both in terms of the number of ORC units installed as well as cost-effectiveness. By converting a complex thermodynamic system into a plug & play product, the technology has been made available for mass application. The Efficiency Packs are designed in a way to reduce project-specific engineering effort. The final ORC unit was designed with manufacturability in mind. Cost positions previously only available in large-scale ORC plants, can now also be achieved in the small- to mid-scale waste heat market.
