Waste Heat Recovery in Cement Plants: ORC Technology & Radial Outflow Turbine Explained

In this webinar you will learn the basics of Waste Heat Recovery ORC technology, the difference with a steam Rankine system and its advantages. We will then delve into Exergy ORC’s innovative technology using the Radial Outflow Turbine and we will explain the advantages of this. We will show hypothetical business plan examples and real case studies to highlight the economics and the return of the investment for ORC WHR installations in cement factories and finally environmental benefits will be also addressed. How can cement plants recover wasted thermal energy and convert it into electricity? This webinar, hosted by World Cement on behalf of Exergy, focuses on decarbonizing the cement industry through Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) waste heat recovery systems. Andrea Definis, Sales Manager for Heat Recovery at Exergy, explains the fundamental differences between ORC systems and traditional steam Rankine cycles, demonstrating why ORC technology offers superior efficiency for low-to-medium temperature heat sources. The presentation covers Exergy's patented radial outflow turbine design, which delivers higher efficiency with simplified operation and maintenance compared to conventional axial turbines. Key topics covered: → ORC cycle fundamentals and working fluid selection (cyclopentane, refrigerants) → Radial outflow turbine technology: design, components, and operational advantages → Cement plant waste heat recovery from preheater exhaust and clinker cooler → Recovery boiler configurations and dust management solutions → Real-world case study: 3.6 MW installation at Cementi Rosetti (Italy) → Business plan example for a 5,000 ton/day cement plant → ROI analysis and energy self-sufficiency potential (up to 33% of internal needs) Whether you're evaluating energy efficiency investments for cement manufacturing or exploring industrial decarbonization strategies, this technical deep-dive provides actionable insights into ORC waste heat recovery systems. 🔋 Learn how Organic Rankine Cycle systems convert waste heat into clean electricity — the foundation of Exergy’s solutions: https://www.exergy-orc.com/technology... ------------------------- Who we are Founded in 2009, Exergy pioneered the highly efficient Radial Outflow Turbine, transforming the ORC market. The company has since deployed nearly 600 MW of ORC capacity worldwide, including some of the largest ORC turbines ever built (up to 20 MW), and is now the second-largest provider of geothermal binary plants globally. Exergy designs, engineers, manufactures, and maintains ORC systems that generate clean electricity from renewable sources and industrial waste heat. Its advanced technology delivers higher efficiency and flexibility than traditional steam systems, enabling more profitable and sustainable energy projects. 📧 Ready to take the next step?
