We have a boiler (industrial) that produces steam at ~20 bar but our process requirements all need less than 10 bars. I was wondering if at these relatively low pressures a back pressure turbine is viable at all? To use the 10 bar drop in pressure to generate some electricity.
Our boiler size isn't huge but not tiny either. Approx. 20 MMBtu.
With rising electric costs it'd be nice if we could generate a fraction of our electrical load ourselves. Our total peak electrical power draw is about 300 kVA.
Any opinions / comments are welcome.
