Company
Who we are
Based in Northern Italy, Turboden is specialized in the applications of Organic Rankine Cycle technology, a technology which allows to produce electric power efficiently and in a user friendly way, from low temperature and/or low power heat sources.
Since 2009 Turboden is a Pratt & Whitney Power Systems company (UTC Group), with the goal to enlarge the business in generative and cogenerative solutions from renewables and heat recovery with ORC technology.
What we do
Since 1980 Turboden focuses its activity on the design and the production of ORC systems for distributed generation in renewable energy applications and industrial heat recovery.
Main application fields include:
- Biomass cogeneration for district-heating or for sawmills and pellet manufacturing companies;
- Waste heat recovery: Electric energy production from exhaust streams in industrial processes;
- Small combined cycles: Electric energy production from residual heat of internal combustion engines, or gas turbines;
- Geothermal: mainly from low-temperature liquid-dominated wells (100-180 °C);
- Solar thermodynamic conversion: electric energy production from medium high temperature solar collectors.
Turboden ORC units are typically up to 10 MW electric per unit. Larger installations can be obtained by coupling a number of units.
For whom
Turboden units have been bought by public and private companies and local governments. Some of the units have been granted by EU funds. High value of renewable energy means that Turboden units repay themselves usually in less than 10 years, sometimes even in less than 3 years. Therefore they are a very sound business opportunity both for private and public clients.
