Turboden, a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries company, is a global leader in the design, manufacture and

service of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbogenerators, which harness heat to generate electric and

thermal power from renewable sources (biomass, geothermal, solar energy) and waste heat from

industrial processes, engines and gas turbines. Turboden has about 290 plants in 32 countries and

offers turbogenerators from 200 kWel to 15 MWel.

CO.ME.CA. S.p.A. has been operating in the mechanical structural steel work field for the iron and

steel industry since 1969. Since the very beginning, the company has continuously updated its in-

house machinery, technologies and machining processes to state-of-the-art levels, with the maximum

satisfaction of all its customers in mind. The experience of its highly specialized technical personnel

has made CO.ME.C.A. S.p.A. one of the most qualified and appreciated suppliers in its sector.

FIRE (Italian Federation for Energy Efficiency) is a non-profit organization established in 1988 to

promote the efficient use of energy. Since 1992 FIRE manages the Italian energy manager network

on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Development, promoting their role through various initiatives.

FIRE also encourages in collaboration with the relevant institutions a positive development of the

legislative and regulatory framework in order to foster an efficient use of energy.

Elbe Stahlwerke Feralpi Riesa, Germany

The Group has 1,300 employees in Italy and other EU countries. Present in Germany since 1992

(with ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi GmbH in Riesa), also operates in the Czech Republic and

Hungary.

Feralpi continues pursue investment programs aimed at technological innovation and boosting

production efficiency, a means to minimize costs and increase its competitive edge.

The Feralpi Group was founded in

1968 and is recognized as a leading

European manufacturer of iron and

steel, especially steels for the building

industry. In 2013, the Group achieved

a consolidated turnover of € 944 mln,

and turned out:

1.9 million tonnes of steel in billets,

1.7 mln ton of finished products and

0.57 mln ton of cold-rolled products.

Elbe Stahlwerke Feralpi Germany: Product and technology

ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi GmbH produces reinforcing steel in the form of bars and coils

Steel shop for steel billets as semi-finished product (up to 1 million tons of steel billets)

Hot rolling mill (up to 0.8 million tons of reinforcing steel per year)

In Riesa the steel production activity has a long tradition: since 1843.

From 2012 ESF has been certified with EMAS (Eco Management and Audit Scheme).

Drivers to project development

The companies in the Feralpi Group collaborate with independent agencies on several scientific

research projects.

Most of the programs cover several years and, due to their importance, Feralpi benefits from

European and domestic public grants, and is considered a benchmark for best practice in a

number of areas, such as de-dusting technology, reducing CO2 emissions and effective

management of the electric furnace charge mix.

Of particular interest is the HREII-Demo project, which was launched in Riesa in 2012 and has

developed a highly innovative technology to recover steam from the mill’s electric furnace, which

would otherwise be dispersed into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.

Turboden designs and develops ORC turbines for the combined generation of heat and electric power from various sources, particularly suitable for distributed generation.

Organic Rankine Cycle turbogenerators

Sizes range: from 200 kW to 15 MW on a single turbine*

* Larger systems can be obtained trough modular design

Heat recovery through Turboden ORC

heat

Project Focus

ORC thermodynamics

The turbogenerator uses the heat carrier (e.g. hot temperature thermal oil) to pre-heat and

vaporize a suitable organic working fluid in the evaporator (834). The organic fluid vapor

powers the turbine (45), which is directly coupled to the electric generator through an elastic

coupling. The exhaust vapor flows through the regenerator (59) where it heats the organic

liquid (28). The vapor is then condensed in the condenser (cooled by the water flow or other)

(961). The organic fluid liquid is finally pumped (12) to the regenerator and then to the

evaporator, thus completing the sequence of operations in the closed-loop circuit.

Thermodynamic features and

consequences

• Water treatment required • Specialized personnel needed • High pressures and temperatures

• Non oxidizing working fluid • Minimum personnel and O&M(1)

• Automatic/self regulation(2)

Operation and maintenance costs

Regulatory framework

A paper collecting incentive schemes and legislations across several EU Member States has been released. It provides an analysis of policies or preparative studies to support electricity generation from waste heat recovery. In particular data were collected regarding: • Belgium (Wallon Region) • France • Germany • Italy • Norway • Poland • Spain • Sweden • Netherlands • United Kingdom

And heat mapping georeferenced tools in Germany, Netherlands and UK.
