Clean Energy Technologies, Inc., a company specialising in integrated energy solutions, announced the commissioning of its Clean Cycle II™ system based on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology in the city of Martin, Tennessee. The project was led by RPG Energy Group for one of the world’s top 100 industrial multinationals.

A pioneering project in manufacturing

The installed ORC system converts residual heat generated by manufacturing processes into usable electricity. The installation comes at a time when industrial companies are seeking to reduce operating costs amid constant pressure on margins. The project is described as one of the first of its kind to be fully operational in a U.S. manufacturing facility.

Clean Energy Technologies states that this technology enables the use of an often overlooked energy source in industrial processes. In this installation, previously wasted heat is now converted into electricity, thereby reducing dependence on external energy sources while increasing the site’s overall energy efficiency.

An industrial partnership overcoming integration challenges

The project was completed in partnership with RPG Energy Group, which provided development and integration services for the ORC solution. According to the companies, teams overcame several technical challenges associated with integrating this technology into the site’s existing infrastructure.

“The Martin project shows that industrial heat recovery is achievable at scale when properly managed,” said Jami Krynski, Chief Executive Officer of RPG Energy Group. Kam Mahdi, Chief Executive Officer of Clean Energy Technologies, stated that the system in place helps reduce energy costs while delivering a strategic advantage for manufacturers.

Towards replicability in the U.S. industrial sector

The Martin installation is viewed by the partner companies as a model that could be replicated at other industrial sites in the United States. RPG Energy Group indicated that this project may pave the way for further deployments at facilities seeking to enhance their energy performance without major modifications to their industrial processes.

Clean Energy Technologies believes that its Clean Cycle II™ technology can be adapted to a variety of industrial sites producing residual heat. The system may attract a wide range of industrial players facing the need to control energy spending in a constrained economic environment.
