Waste Heat to Power

Generating Electricity from Waste Heat

Many industrial processes vent flue gas that contains a significant amount of wasted energy that can be converted into electricity. Kanin contributes emission-free baseload electricity generation, thereby offsetting power produced from fossil fuels. Of all the energy produced and consumed to do ‘work’, up to 58% is lost in the form of waste heat during industrial processes. The ability to capture wasted energy and produce Waste Heat to Power (WHP) is viable in many different industries. WHP is zero-emission generation powered by heat from industrial processes and equipment that would otherwise be lost to the environment.

Kanin is technology agnostic, focusing primarily on the deployment of WHP best-in-class Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems to convert some of that wasted energy into valuable, baseload electricity. ORC turbines are closed loop systems using an organic fluid that heats up to drive a turbine. Offering a bundled solution, Kanin brings together the expertise, equipment and capital partners required to execute, paying the host facility for their wasted heat and generating green, baseload power with no additional CO2 emissions. Since these systems are fuel-flexible they can be modified to work with renewable fuels as they become available at scale, including hydrogen.

REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT & DATA
Natural Gas Compressor Station Example

Natural gas compressor stations move natural gas around the continent and produce a significant amount of wasted energy. These compressor stations use gas turbines – essentially modified aircraft jet engines – tied to mechanical compressors to maintain pressure in the pipeline. They usually burn natural gas, and more than half of the energy goes up the stack as wasted energy. Kanin uses Organic Rankine Cycle systems to convert some of that wasted energy baseload emission-free electricity.

Contact

Kanin energy works with cement plants

Cement

Waste heat is generated in the process of transforming raw materials into clinker for concrete. Kilns heat materials to over 2,500 degrees F

Kanin Energy works with Natural Gas Stations

Natural Gas

Natural gas compressor stations have consistent heat at high temperatures and offer simple and safe integration

Kanin Works with Iron and Steel Industries

Steel

All facets of the steel industry, from primary ore processing to recycling and rolling, emit large quantities of waste heat

Biomass

Pellet plants use heat that is typically fueled by natural gas to dry biomass. A waste heat recovery unit can decrease natural gas use and save on energy.

Others

Kanin works with other industries including: Refineries, Hydrogen, Glass, Fertilizer, and Chemicals.
