Revolutionary Energy Recovery Technology
TAKEnergy’s innovative expander is redefining energy efficiency in high-pressure gas systems. Our technology recovers energy typically wasted in pressure reduction processes, converting it into clean, usable power—all while maintaining your existing operations.
The Power of Pressure
In numerous industrial scenarios, high-pressure fluids – including natural gas, refrigerants and other process gases must have its pressure reduced before use or distribution. Traditionally, this pressure reduction is achieved through regulators or Pressure Reducing Valves (PRVs). While these devices effectively lower the pressure, they don’t harness the potential energy available in this process. This represents a significant opportunity to convert the pressure differential into valuable power.
How Our Technology Works
1. Integration: Our expander is installed in a slipstream configuration alongside your existing PRV. High-pressure gas is diverted into the expander
2. Controlled Expansion: As gas flows through the expander, it undergoes a carefully managed expansion process, harnessing the potential energy from the pressure differential.
3. Power Generation: The expander converts this harnessed energy into clean electricity or direct mechanical power, providing a valuable energy source.
4. Efficient Pressure Reduction: The expanded gas, now at lower pressure, rejoins the main flow—achieving the required pressure reduction while generating power.
