As already said in the previous pages, the ORC systems by Zuccato Energia can recover energy from most industrial processes involving heat, such as:

• Ovens, furnaces and kilns in steel, glass and ceramic industries and cement mills;
• Boilers and steam generators in paper mills and naval industry;
• Ovens, dryers and smokehouses in the food industries as well as incinerators in animal fat rendering.

As an example, by installing heat exchangers in the flue gas circuit of a glass bottle manufacturing plant equipped with three ovens, enough thermal energy can be recovered to drive the same number of ZE-150-LT ORC modules, witch can output up to 3 GW/year of electricity to the power grid.

Even an end-of life waste disposal site can become a power generation plant, by using an ORC module to recover the heat from the combustion of flared-off waste gas too weak to operate a normal genset.
