June 6, 2008—ElectraTherm, Inc. has announced the successful installation of its first commercial waste heat generator, at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. The ElectraTherm Green Machine makes electricity from residual industrial heat that has, until now, gone to waste.
Using patented heat and pressure recovery technology, ElectraTherm employs minimal heat (200 degrees F liquid) to generate fuel-free, emissions-free electricity at a very low cost: three to four cents per kW/hr during payback period, under a penny/kW hour thereafterm says the company.
Testing of the 50kW ElectraTherm Green Machine, installed at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, by Gulf Coast Green Energy and ElectraTherm has exceeded expectations, reaching output well beyond its 50kW rating, ElectraTherm says.
ElectraTherm, Inc. delivers renewable energy solutions for a sustainable future, now. The company’s proven, patented Twin Screw Expander enables its line of energy generators to make electricity from waste and geothermal heat or pressure instead of fossil fuel.
