Sustainable Profits: TurboTech's Green Energy Solution for Distilleries

In distilleries, steam is essential for condensing and boiling during the fermentation of substances like molasses. It's a key component in separating and purifying ethanol. To address environmental concerns, technologies like TurboTech ECT extract power from steam without affecting its distillation properties, improving efficiency and sustainability.

The Power of TurboTech’s ECT

Contemporary TurboTech Turbines Usher in an Era of Enhanced Energy Efficiency for Distilleries. Cutting- edge technology guarantees smooth operations, cost reductions, and accelerates the path towards achieving net-zero emissions.

Distilleries can achieve significant cost savings through the adoption of TurboTech's Energy Conversion Technology (ECT). This technology effectively captures excess steam energy, harmonizing environmental stewardship with economic sustainability.

A Green and Profitable Future

TurboTech's adoption in the distillery industry paves the way for a greener, economically sustainable, and net-zero future, serving as a role model for other sectors. These turbines combine industrial efficiency with environmental responsibility, optimizing energy utilization, cost savings, and emissions reduction.

Below is a representative example of annual cost savings achieved by an Indian Distilleries 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]	2160
Total min. Units generated yearly basis (considering 7200 yearly hours) [kWh]	1,55,52,000
Gross Yearly Savings (considering ₹ 6/unit, for yearly unit savings) [INR]	9,33,12,000
Less- (Maintenance and consumables) [INR]	3,00,000
Total Yearly Savings [INR]	9,30,12,000

*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 and then coupled with an electrical generator or any rotating machinery to generate incidental clean, green power.

Stage 3:

Converts unutilized heat energy via pressure drop of steam that otherwise gets throttled through a PRV or a PRDS system.

Join hands for better tomorrow

The distilleries embrace of TurboTech steam turbines exemplifies a harmonious blend of industrial efficiency and environmental stewardship. These advanced turbines not only optimize energy utilization but also contribute significantly to cost savings and emissions reduction.

TurboTech's Energy Conversion Technology, in particular, exemplifies the potential for sustainability within the industrial landscape. The distillery industry commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and achieving net-zero emissions is underscored by its investment in TurboTech steam turbines—a step forward in building a more sustainable, economically viable future.
