Power from Waste Heat
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)
Generate Clean Electricity from Waste Heat
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a thermodynamic process that converts low- and medium-grade industrial waste heat (80°C to 300°C) into clean electricity. Unlike conventional steam turbines, ORC systems use organic working fluids with low boiling points, making them ideal for heat sources that would otherwise be too low-grade to exploit.
ASPCV engineers and deploys ORC systems for cement, glass, steel, chemical, and paper industries turning unavoidable process losses into a revenue-generating power source with no additional fuel input.
