Philippines carnauba oil refinery
The steam boiler generate saturated steam at 15 t/h, 22 Bar (G), used in back-pressure turbine to generate 800 kW power, but there is still 5 t/h, 4 Bar (G) low pressure saturated steam released to atmosphere, that is wasting the latent heat.
Kerry® Kaishan screw steam expander working with ORC screw expander in series can achieve higher efficiency of power generation. Steam expander use the pressure difference while ORC use the latent heat in vaporization to generate power. At the first part of this project, the installed power is 400 kW, and then second part is up to 1,500 kW.
Power Benefits：
Output

400 kW
Annual Output

8,000 x 400 = 3,200,000 kW
Annual Production

3,200,000 x 0.2 = 640 K US dollars
Annual CO2 discharge reduction

3,200,000 x 0.522 =1670.4 Ton
  • Average working hour is 8,000 hours.
  • The electricity price is US$ 0.2/KWh.
  • To generate 1 KWh power discharge 0.522 kg CO2 (The Bureau of Energy of Taiwan, 2012)
