Waste Heat Power Generation gets Ready for Mainstream

Calnetix Launches Clean Cycle Generator

Wed., Jun 9, 2010 Calnetix Power Solutions (Calnetix) today announced a new revenue stream for organizations whose machinery and industrial processes generate low temperature waste heat.

Calnetix estimates that two-thirds of the fuel burnt to generate power is lost as heat. Its new range of Waste Heat Power Generation machines can turn heat generated by reciprocating engines, (such as landfill gas engines), biomass boilers and industrial processes (including incinerators and processing plants) into electricity which can then either be re-used or sold back to the grid.

This is a proven technology that adds additional revenue streams with few variable costs to all kinds of manufacturers, agricultural waste sites, mills, landfill sites and any other industrial process which generates waste heat at temperatures of around 121ºC or higher. By using heat that would otherwise go into the atmosphere it is a profitable way for European companies to become more environmentally friendly and meet the EU’s 202020 target which requires that 20% of energy be generated from renewable sources by 2020.

Brad Garner, Calnetix’s CEO, said: “Waste heat
to electrical power generation is now ready for the
mainstream. It’s just about the greenest technology
there is. However, our customers will not buy for
environmental benefits. For them, this is a purely
commercial purchase based on economics. If you’re wasting heat, you’re wasting money”.

At this year’s Renewable Energy World show
(co-located with the PowerGen Europe show),
Calnetix will be unveiling its new Clean Cycle waste
heat-to-electricity generators specifically designed
to be commercially viable in the 100 - 150 kW range. The company has shipped 20 units already which have racked up a combined 7,000+ working hours.
