Turn Your Waste Heat Into Electricity

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 16, 2008 – With the advent of skyrocketing fossil fuels and energy costs, businesses are looking for solutions to generate low cost, or free electricity from their waste heat.  According to Global Energy President Greg Giese, the organic Rankine cycle waste heat to power may provide solutions to utilize a untapped energy source.

Whether you have waste heat from a boiler, oil/gas well producer water, biomass, geothermal or even power generation facilities like gas turbines, waste heat can be converted to power.  In the Gulf States oil and gas industry alone, it is estimated that millions of megawatts of power could be generated from the hot producer water which comes up with every barrel of oil.

What is unique about the Infinity Turbine is the size range and system geared towards providing a modular solution.  Mounted in a standard shipping container, the unit can be easily shipped and installed next to a building, remotely, on a ship or drill rig.  For smaller applications, the 80 kilowatt/hr system can provide access to biomass waste heat and solar, while the 250 kilowatt/hr system is geared towards a larger waste heat application, such as oil well producer water, geothermal, or gas turbine exhaust.

Another benefit of the Infinity Turbine is the 3,600 RPM shaft speed, which allows the power to be used by a synchronous or induction generator, downhole pump, or compressor.  

The secondary heat exiting from the unit can also be used in CHP (combined heat and power) applications.  There is enough heat left over from the system to run a chiller, hot water, process heat dryer, or even a desalination unit.  

Global Energy is a distributed energy development business, providing solutions in the forestry, oil and gas, geothermal, CO2 to fuels, and business community.  Additional information on the Infinity Turbine, can be found on the website:  http://www.infinityturbine.com
