Abstract

The ENERCO_LT (ENErgy ReCOvery from Low Temperature heat sources) project is a waste heat recovery project that aims to reduce energy consumption in industrial gas production sites by producing electricity through Organic Rankine Cycles supplied by exothermic process discharges at low and medium temperatures. Two promising thermal sources consisting of (i) almost dry gas flow at 165°C and (ii) moist gas flow at 150°C, were investigated.
