Applicazione: Biogas - Recupero del calore residuo dei motori
Power Output: 35 kWe<\/strong>
Thermal Input:\u00a0 450 kWth<\/strong>
Hot Water Inlet Temperature: 95\u00b0C<\/strong><\/p>\n

ElectraTherm installed a Power+ Generator in Trechwitz, Germany at a biogas power generation facility to produce additional electricity without additional fuel or emissions using waste heat recovery technology. The site is producing biogas through anaerobic digestion to fire an 800 kWe Dreyer & Bosse CHP with an MWM internal combustion engine that generates electricity to sell to the grid. The current output of the engine is 500 kWe due to gas volume available, but with the inclusion of the Power+, excess engine heat will now be used to generate approximately 7% more electricity. This is the first application in Germany where an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is incorporated into a biogas facility meeting the 60% thermal requirements to qualify for Germany\u2019s EEG 2012 bonus feed-in tariff rate. The Dreyer & Bosse CHP together with the Power+ allows the entire site\u2019s electrical production to qualify for the higher rate which equates to a very attractive payback period.<\/p>\n

\u201cGermany\u2019s 2012 feed-in tariff rate rewards biogas facilities that utilize 60% of the thermal heat load in their processes,” says Markus Heyde, Etalon Project Manager. “Adding the Power+ Generator to this site helped us reach the 60% requirement, and the incentive enables an attractive payback.<\/em>
<\/strong><\/p>\n

ElectraTherm\u2019s Power+ Generator uses an ORC for waste heat recovery to produce distributed power from low temperature sources of heat. Hot water enters the Power+ at 95\u00b0C, where it heats a working fluid into a pressurized vapor. The high pressure vapor expands through ElectraTherm\u2019s patented twin screw power block, spinning an electric generator rated for up to 60 kWe output (now 125 kWe). After turning the twin screw expander, the vapor is condensed back into a liquid through the use of an external air cooled condenser. After condensing, the working fluid flows back to the evaporator to repeat the process.<\/p>\n

The anaerobic digestion process at this site uses a maize and manure mix as the \u201cfuel\u201d for the anaerobic digestion process. The maize and manure are loaded into a self-feeding hopper. From the hopper, the resulting biomass is pumped to the digester, where methane is produced through anaerobic digestion.The raw methane is monitored and filtered by Dreyer & Bosse equipment ie., gas cooler and charcoal filter to remove impurities which can then\u00a0 safely \u00a0fuel the engine for long term reliability.<\/p>\n

The Dreyer & Bosse CHP is equipped with an exhaust gas heat exchanger designed to combine both the heat available in the exhaust and the heat available in the jacket water into a single heat stream. The waste heat from the CHP is used to heat the anaerobic digestion process, and excess heat not needed to sustain the anaerobic digestion process is utilized by the Power+ to produce fossil-fuel free electricity 24\/7.<\/p>\n
