Waste Pressure to Power

Waste pressure from industrial processes represents a significant opportunity for application of Genalta Power's Waste Energy to Power technology.  The following are some examples  of  waste pressure to power generation opportunities. Please contact our Business Development Department to discuss your application.

Amine Facility/Liquid Pressure Letdown

In natural gas sweetening facilities, an amine gas treating process is used to remove sulfur.  A typical amine gas treatment process includes an absorber unit, a regenerator unit as well as accessory equipment. The rich amine leaves the absorber under high pressure and is let down to a lower pressure through a control valve.   This letdown point represents an opportunity to use a hydraulic expander to generate electricity.

Genalta Power's Amine Pressure Conversion (APC) module is a skid mounted unit which converts waste pressure into electrical power, which  can be used within the facility.  Designed specifically for hydraulic energy recovery, the APC module addresses the major issues facing the gas processing industry including design simplicity, efficiency, maintainability, ease of field repair and versatility.

Gas Pressure Letdown

Natural gas is transported through transit pipelines at high pressures.  In places of consumption or when passing into a lower pressure pipeline, the pressure of the gas must be reduced.  Turboexpanders can recover significant energy while reducing the pressure of large volume gas streams safely and effectively.  A high efficiency natural gas turboexpander-generator utilizes a Radial Flow Expander for energy recovery. It replaces the traditional throttle valve, which drops the pressure to the appropriate level for the low pressure network.
