Sustainable Tyre Manufacturing with TurboTech Steam Turbines

In the tyre industry, steam is crucial for processes like vulcanization, molding, cleaning, and power generation. Efficient steam use improves tyre quality, cuts costs, and aligns with sustainability goals. TurboTech steam turbines are at the forefront of this transformation, renowned for their efficiency and precision.

The Power of TurboTech’s ECT

Modern TurboTech turbines bring a new era of energy efficiency to tyre manufacturing. Advanced technology ensures seamless operation, cuts costs, and aids the journey towards net-zero emissions.

TurboTech's Energy Conversion Technology (ECT) leads to substantial savings when adopted by tyre plants. It efficiently harnesses surplus steam energy, aligning environmental responsibility with economic viability.

A Green and Profitable Future

By choosing TurboTech, the tyre industry pioneers a greener, economically sound, and Net-Zero future, setting a model for other sectors. These turbines blend industrial efficiency with environmental stewardship, optimizing energy use, saving costs, and reducing emissions.

Below is a representative example of annual cost savings achieved by an Indian tyre industry through the efficient utilization of surplus steam that would have otherwise gone to waste, thanks to TurboTech’s ECT.

 

Particulars	Units
Power Generated by Turbine [kW]	1785
Total min. Units generated yearly basis (considering 7200 yearly hours) [kWh]	1,28,52,000
Gross Yearly Savings (considering ₹ 6/unit, for yearly unit savings) [INR]	7,71,12,000
Less- (Maintenance and consumables) [INR]	3,00,000
Total Yearly Savings [INR]	7,68,12,000*

*All the calculation varies from case to case based on steam quality and other parameters.

In the case mentioned earlier, in the cogeneration process, it's important to note that, on average, the generation of 1 unit of power leads to the release of approximately 0.82 kilograms of CO2 into the environment. This is a cause for concern, as countries worldwide are taking action to regulate industries and work towards achieving Net-Zero emissions.

Our Operation philosophy

At a high-level, we have outlined the operational philosophy of our ECT here. This philosophy is designed to facilitate seamless integration into your existing industrial operations.

Stage 1:

The Nozzle of ECT functions the same way as a PRV in a Process Plant. It reduces the Steam Pressure to the Required Process (Back) Pressure. In addition, it converts this Pressure Energy to high velocity that gives an impulse to rotate the Turbine Wheel (bolted with the High-Speed Shaft.

Stage 2:

This High Speed is reduced through a Reduction Gear Box depending upon the rating of the Generator to Generate Incidental Clean, Green Electric Power.

Stage 3:

Conserves, unutilized heat energy through pressure drop in a PRV/PRDS, otherwise throttled.

Stage 4:

The Nozzle of ECT™ drops Steam Pressure, and converts into high velocity steam imparting impulse to rotate the Turbine Wheel shaft.

Stage 5:

Shaft mechanical power utilized as mechanical drive to Generator or any Machinery.
