Background | |
PROJECT NAME | CLIM - WASTENER |
PROJECT ACRONYM | CLIM - WASTENER |
PROJECT DESCRIPTION | Biogas produce with waste leads in anaerobic conditions to supply a gas turbine and the residual heat to convert with an Organic Rankine Cycle into electricity. 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. |
