High performance: The Verdicorp range of expanders have frictionless operation, and

because of their unique motor and power electronics technology,

they infinitely vary their capacity to ensure constant and accurate

operation. The systems operate at their most optimal point, and

automatically adjusts their operating speed to match the available

heat.

In cases where residual heat is used for heating purposes during the

cooler months, as the heating demand decreases during warmer

months, the excess energy can be fed to the ORC and turned back

into electricity.

With its “Smart Control” and its integrated VFD, the ORC system

closely matches the available heat, allowing for the optimal use of

the energy, that would otherwise be wasted.

Sustainable energy efficiency: Installing energy efficient equipment is very important to any Bio-gas plant, however retaining that efficiency in a sustainable way is even more important. Conventional oil lubricated systems drop off in effi-ciency over time as parts start to wear. But the Verdi-Sys with no friction can maintain its efficiency over the entire life of the system This combination of Verdi-Sys oil-free ORC technology and bio-gas

generators improves the overall return on investment, and offers

energy efficiencies never seen before.

When thinking bio-gas, consider capital costs, operating costs and

service efficiency, as life cycle costs. Adding Verdi-Sys to a bio-gas

plant returns a higher yield from the fuel source, improving the over-

all return on investment. Verdi-Sys ORC: The Verdicorp expander is a single stage, variable speed expander, incorporating inbuilt VFD, digital magnetic bear-ings, soft starter, EMI filter and digital intelligent controls

Verdi-Sys turbo expander: The Verdicorp range of ORC expanders are based on the

well proven Turbocor oil-free compressor technology.

There are now over 30,000 machines operating throughout

the world, so the products are based on a well proven,

highly efficient platform of technologies

Verdicorp produces expanders ranging from a gross output

of 20kWe up to 115kWe, and because of their modularity,

they can be safely coupled together to operate in systems

of 3MW and more.

Improving bio-gas power generation efficiencies:

Bio-gas plants are all about generating renewable energy, and reducing the

carbon footprint. The Verdi-Sys ORC system has been designed to increase

the electrical output from the residual heat generated from the existing bio-

gas system, thus increasing the bio-gas plants overall efficiency.

Waste heat can be captured from both the exhaust gas, and the water jack-

et heat of an engine and converted back into useful electricity.

Verdi-Sys Organic Rankine Cycle:

The Verdi-Sys ORC can convert low grade heat from as low as 95 °C (203 °C) and put this energy back to work. Owners of bio-gas plants already understand that generating carbon neutral renewable energy is both a wise financial investment, and a sound environ-mental investment, and Verdicorp also understands this. Verdicorp ORC systems have been designed to optimize the performance of a bio-gas plant, by producing more power with no more fuel. The ORC continues to produce green electrical energy throughout the year, and as other needs for the residual heat might vary throughout the year, the infinitely variable turbine tunes itself to match the available heat and contin-ues to convert the available heat back into electrical energy, helping offset the operating costs of other portions of the plant. As the turbine has no friction and has the intelligence to track the available

heat, they are able to operate over a wide operating range without turning

off. Without having concerns for wear, the units are able to run 24/7.

System flexibility: The Verdi-Sys systems can be configured in stand alone, mobile or modular

configurations. Being factory built, these units are fully assembled and test-

ed in a controlled environment, thus increasing quality and system integrity,

while at the same time being manufactured at the lowest possible cost.

Awards: This technology platform has been recognized throughout the world as leading edge, and has led to some very significant awards being presented, these being the 2003 ASHRAE (AHR) Innovation Award for Energy, the 2004 EPA’s “Climate Protection Award”, the 2005 Natural Resource Canada Inno-vation Award for Energy, the 2007, Frost and Sullivan Award for Innovation, the 2008 Institute of Refrigeration – J&E Hall Gold Medal (London) for “Innovation, Application and Advancement of Refrigeration", and the 2009 James Harrison Medal, the most distinguished award presented by the Aus-tralian Institute of Refrigeration, Air-conditioning, and Heating (AIRAH).

Improving bio-gas performance with Verdi-Sys: Verdicorp now offers a range of high-efficient oil-free Organic Ran-kine Cycle Systems (ORC’s) that have been designed to work in conjunction with bio-gas and bio-mass plants. These ORC systems generate clean, green electrical power from waste heat sources, such as motor generator sets. With the onslaught of higher energy costs, carbon taxes, and the call for higher and higher efficient systems, Verdicorp’s ORC prod-ucts accomplish both lower operating cost and high performance, increasing the overall efficiency of a bio-gas system, converting what is often lost to the environment, and increasing revenues for the bio-gas operator.

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC): Organic Rankine Cycle Systems can best be described as a chiller running backwards, instead of using electrical energy to produce cooling, this system takes heat from a low grade heat source and turns it into economical electrical energy. (400/480V-50/60Hz.). This power is then phase matched to meet the local electrical grids requirements.

Solid technology base: The heart of the Verdicorp ORC is the expander, and this expander is built on the well proven Turbocor platform of technologies, and with more than 30,000 such compressors operating throughout the world, this frictionless technology is proving itself daily as the most efficient high speed machine in the world.
