Organic Rankine Cycle
Transform Waste Heat into Clean Power
Harness untapped thermal energy with ORC technology to boost efficiency, cut emissions, and power a more sustainable future
What is Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC ) Technology?
The ORC is a closed thermodynamic process that uses organic fluids with low boiling points to recover heat from sources ranging between 80°C and 400°C. This recovered heat is then converted into electricity through a closed-loop system, making it ideal for industries with low-grade heat emissions.industries with low-grade heat emissions.
An Organic Rankine Cycle works similarly to the traditional steam Rankine Cycle. The main difference is the use of organic substances (hydrocarbons or refrigerants) instead of water (steam) as working fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common inquiries about our technologies, services, and approach
What exactly is ORC and how is it different from a traditional steam turbine system?
ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle) systems work similarly to steam turbines but use an organic fluid with a lower boiling point. This allows the system to recover energy from lower-temperature heat sources (80–400°C), which steam systems can’t efficiently utilize.
Will installing an ORC system disrupt our existing operations or require downtime?
No significant disruption is required. ORC systems are modular and designed to integrate seamlessly into existing infrastructure. Installation can be done in parallel with your operations, minimizing any downtime.
What kind of maintenance is required, and do we need specialized personnel to run it?
ORC systems are fully automated and require minimal maintenance. There’s no need for dedicated operators. Maintenance is mainly preventive and involves basic checks, with remote monitoring for early issue detection.
How long does it take to install and commission an ORC system?
Once the system is designed and delivered, on-site installation and commissioning typically take a few weeks. From feasibility to operation, the full project can be completed in 6–12 months, depending on complexity.
How do I know if our facility has enough waste heat to justify this investment?
We conduct a detailed feasibility study that measures your heat flow, temperature profiles, and operational cycles. This analysis determines whether ORC is viable and what energy savings you can expect.
Are there any government incentives or carbon credits we can access through this technology?
Yes. ORC improves energy efficiency and can contribute to decarbonization goals, making it eligible for energy-saving grants, government incentives, and carbon credit schemes. We help you navigate and apply for these programs.
