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

In the previously discussed scenario involving cogeneration, it's crucial to highlight that, on average, the production of 1 unit of electricity results in the emission of about 0.82 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. This raises concerns, given the global efforts by countries to regulate industries and move closer to achieving carbon neutrality.

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.
