Electricity from pressure
Reduce your electricity bill and your carbon footprint, simply by reducing some pressure. This is what Norwegian company Zeropex' power generating pressure reduction devices can do for you.
Generating electricity from pressure. Benefitial to industries with fluids under pressure.
Norwegian company Zeropex wish to improve sustainability of communities and industries by supplying power generating pressure reduction devices. Zeropex is developing, manufacturing and selling power generating pressure reduction devices for a variety of industries, both onshore and offshore. Water utilities and oil companies see a great need for Zeropex products. Other industries with fluids under pressure may also benefit from using Zeropex products.
Pure power from pressure reduction
Difgen is a cost effective replacement for pressure chokes in all types of systems where pressure control is vital. It combines the pressure control from chokes, with electricity generation from hydroturbines, to generate pure power - at no extra operating cost. The generated power can be used to reduce your own net power bill or sold to the power grid for profit. In the water utility sector there is a great demand for Zeropex products, and spokesmen for many large water utilities claim that they have been waiting for a product like tihis for a long time. The reason is simple. The water utility sector has never before been able to control water pressure and produce electricity at the same time. This is vital for the industry. The quality and pressure of the water is key to the water sector. Zeropex give the customer full control over water quality and pressure. In addition the customer can produce power from the pressure reduction.
The UK water sector pay about 8 pence per kW, and Zeropex can offer very attractive payback and net present value for many project in the UK sector.
An offshore oil rig have between 2 MW and 12 MW available power from utilizing the energy from pressure reduction. The energy is today transferred as vibration and heat in pressure chokes. Zeropex difgen and rotachoke products will enable the operator to harvest this energy with a payback of less than two years. Harvesting this energy will also enable cleaner production offshore.
Water utilities and oil companies see a great need for Zeropex products. Other industries with fluids under pressure may also benefit from using Zeropex products.
