Provision of Waste Heat Recovery System through Organic Rankine Cycle

Descriptions

Saint-Gobain Glass Industry UK Ltd (SGGI UK) manufactures environmentally friendly glass for a range of applications. The SGGI UK float glass plant at Eggborough is one of the largest in the United Kingdom (UK) and as a heat intensive industry, the production of glass consumes large amounts of natural gas inside the furnace and grid electricity to heat the furnace to temperatures of around 1 600 degrees Celsius. SGGI UK seek a supplier to design, build and install a waste heat recovery system utilising an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system on a glass furnace in its factory in Eggborough, North Yorkshire. The system will need to enable us to recover the highest possible proportion of waste heat and convert it into power. The power will then be fed into the plant to reduce the amount of grid energy that is required and to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GhG) emissions.
