Applications
The steam power generation is categorized based on:
- Fuel / Feedstock used for producing steam
- Power Generation output and
- Utilization of Power
Application | Description | Industry Solution |
---|---|---|
![]() Co-generation (COGEN) |
By-product is utilized to raise steam for power generation | Bagasse in Sugar Mill, Empty Fruit Bunch, Kernel from Palm Oil Mills |
![]() Combined Heat and Power (CHP) |
|
Process Industries, Food Processing, Pharmaceuticals, Chemical industry and many more or Only for water and space heating and purpose like in District Heating. |
![]() Waste heat recovery (WHR) and Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) |
Energy recovery from hot streams with potential high energy content, such as hot flue gases through a heat exchanger either HRSG (Cyclical Gas Flows in case of Gas Engine) or WHRB (continuous Gas flows like process flue gasses and flow from exhaust of Gas Turbine).
|
Combined Cycle Power Plant (Gas Engines, Turbines), Flue Gasses from Blast Furnace in Steel plant, Waste heat in sponge iron plant, Coal / Feedstock Gasification to natural Gas or Syngas. |
![]() Incidental Power generation from Incineration (INCR) |
|
Incineration of Municipal Solid Waste/ Industrial Wastes/ Hazardous Wastes which are mandatory to be disposed in a safe manner. |
![]() Captive power plant (CPP) |
|
Cement, Steel, Industrial Hub, sparsely populated regions where power is not accessible (off grid solutions) etc. |
![]() Independent Power Producer (IPP) |
Power generation for complete commercial consumption as:
|
Biomass (Rice Husk, Wood chips, Wood Logs, Coal fired, Gasification), Barge Mounted Power plant (Offshore IPP) |
![]() Non conventional energy sources (NCER) |
Harnessing the heat energy from non- conventional energy resources through steam power Generation. | Solar Thermal , Geothermal |
