ORC modules by Zuccato Energia have found several applications in combination with a wide range of overheated water generation systems based on biomass combustion.

A typical system connects one or more ORC modules to a fixed- or movable-grate boiler fueled via an automated feeding system by wooden chips derived from woodworking waste or from pruning residues derived from the management of municipal, regional or state parks.

Wooden biomass is far from being the only possible fuel: thanks to the cooperation with a primary boiler manufacturer, Zuccato Energia has been able to solve the long-standing problem of chicken manure disposal in poultry farming. Said biomass – a mix of excrements, feathers and litter residues – can now be monetized by transforming it into electricity using a specifically designed movable grate boiler equipped with special devices for efficient combustion and pollutant reduction, coupled to an ORC module of suitable power.

The biomass conversion plants built by Zuccato Energia – several of which have been operating for years – are highly reliable and compact enough to be employed even in a small firm, monetizing its waste, simplifying waste disposal, and paying themselves back in a few years.
