In a world where the pursuit of zero carbon factories, cities and economies is an urgent aim for individuals, corporations and governments, the Energy Module offers ZERO Carbon power generation simply, reliably and economically. The Energy Module turns low pressure steam of 0.6 to 5 bars – usually an industrial waste product – into electrical energy. With ZERO CO2 emissions. No additional energy resources are required. Not a single ounce of gas or coal or oil, no wind turbine and no solar system is needed to operate the Energy Module.

The waste heat given off in industrial processes in the low-temperature range up to 100°C constitutes an energy potential in all industrialized countries that is left largely unused. Planet One Solutions offers a new process for generating electric current from low-temperature heat, thus enabling the potential from this lost heat produced in many industrial processes to be made use of. In addition to its potential using waste heat sources, the process can also utilize heat from other sources for the generation of electricity, for instance from solar energy, geothermal heat, or technically conditioned waste heat flows from power stations and combined heat and power (CHP) plants. Through the specific utilization of low-temperature heat for the generation of electricity, a major worldwide contribution could be made to reducing the consumption of fossil energy resources and cutting CO2 emissions. The main field of application of the Energy Mission process will be the utilization of low-temperature heat in line with the performance characteristics of the expansion engine employed. Internal studies into the efficiency of the process have been confirmed by independent studies. The conversion of heat into mechanical and/or electrical energy using a cyclical process such as the ORC process, based on the following steps: Evaporation through heating, relaxation, condensation and heat induction, return of the condensate. The system can be applied, for instance, by utilizing the waste heat from liquid media at temperatures above 70°C:

• Any condensate in the food industry e.g. breweries, fruit juice plants, milk powder production
• Cooling water in block heat and power plants
• Process water in the chemicals industry

The generation of energy from waste heat is of benefit to all businesses that have unused thermal energy available or lose energy through the release of heat. Target customers are therefore enterprises operating in the following sectors:

• Block heat and power-plant operators
• Steelworks
• Aluminum smelters
• Solar thermionic

BENEFITS

The unique breakthrough that ENVA have achieved is to make use of existing, but up to now completely neglected resources to produce electrical energy: With the Energy Module low-pressure steam, to date a waste product deriving from a range of industrial processes, is transformed into electrical energy – a significant step forward in zero carbon power generation, with both economic and environmental benefits.
