The Organic Rankine Cycle in practice at Rohoznik, Slovakia

摘要

After the successful start-up of the Turboden organic Rankine cycle (ORC) waste heat recovery (WHR) unit in 2012 for Holcim Romania, Holcim Slovakia (now part of the CRH Group) decided to increase the efficiency of its 3600t/day cement plant located in Rohoznik, through a further ORC installation.The ease of operation, along with minimum maintenance requirements and wide range of operations, are some of the characteristics that drove the company to install an ORC-based WHR plant, rather than a traditional steam-based system.
