Valorization of gas-flaring and contaminated gas (Flare Gas Recovery)
Challenges
Gas-flaring and contaminated gas coming from landfill or from industrial process cannot be used as combustion gas in conventional engines. Indeed the combustion of such gases is difficult or impossible, or simply it damages the gas engine internal components.
Generally in the industry these gas flows are burnt into gas flares, and the heat is rejected to the environment.
Similarly, VOC ( Volatile Organic Compounds ) are generally burnt inside thermal oxidizers, and the heat generated is rejected to the environment at temperatures reaching 850°C.
H2P’s Unique Selling Points
Our solution is an integral part of the Flare Gas Recovery (FGR) ecosystem. he low-grade or contaminated gas can be burnt favourably in a combustion chamber with low emissions, generating heat between 700 and 900°C.
The H2P engine is the most profitable solution capable of using this high temperature heat with high efficiency in order to generate both electricity and clean hot air.
Benefits
The H2P power generator can easily be integrated in an existing industrial process.
The electricity generated can be used for the industrial site’s consumption and reduce its electrical costs.
The clean hot air generated can be directly used in order to heat buildings during cold seasons.
During warm weather, the clean hot air will be used to improve H2P efficiency, as combustive air for the combustion chamber.
Path to CO2 neutrality
Some numbers…
- Example for the CG-20 :
Input of 275KWth
20kWe produced
210 kWth produced
- An overall maximal efficiency of 84% in cogeneration
- A conversion from thermal to electrical power of 31%
The H2P power generators range is from 50kW up to 3MW input thermal flow.
