Clim-Wastener

 Output characterisation
OUTPUT SENTENCE

Cogeneration with biogas turbine system and Organic Ranking Cycle engine to convert heat in landfills into energy.

 
OUTPUT TYPEprototype 
WATER TOPICManagement process 
MARKET NEED TAILORED

Energy saving and valorisation of anaerobic sludge (biogas).

 
OUTPUT DESCRIPTION

The project objectives are to design, implement, test and disseminate an innovative integrated pilot that generates electricity from waste heat in the specific context of a landfill.

The heat recovery system is based on an Organic Ranking Cycle (ORC) that improves the electric efficiency of the waste-to-power plant by 5%. A primary loop containing superheated water is used to transfer the heat from the exhaust fumes to the ORC fluid. This working fluid then drives a125 kW gross electric power module.

Without any modification of the existing biogas power plants, the pilot units will be installed on two different sites: Saint Laurent des Hommes and Orange in France (see the map).
Various measurements will be made to monitor the operation of both units. A comparative study will be carried out and improvement proposals will be made based on the results. This return on experience is essential to determine the best transfer conditions to other landfills and will therefore support the ORC technology dissemination across Europe.
 
The project brings together several EU institutions and industrialists to create a transnational consortium of excellence. Every partner builds up their own skills by working on one or several specific missions.

 
STATE OF DEVELOPMENT

Commissioning of the first pilot unit in Saint Laurent des Hommes on 24th July 2012.
In Orange, Equipment was ordered from June to November 2012 and delivered from January to February 2013. Construction has started in February and the unit is planned to be commissioned early April.
ORC unit at the Orange site has produced its first kWh on Friday  5thApril. The unit is planned to run for the 12 years to come.

 
INNOVATIVE ASPECTS AND ADVANTAGES

Combination of various technical solutions to increase energy production of biogas power plants.

 
TRANSFERABILITY

Possible  to transfer the output on other territories (Europeans countries)
The technology is reliable and reproducible.
