Energy recovery with hydroturbines
Energy recovery with hydroturbines
(OP)
I am working in a project where we have very large quantities of water at about 3 barg. We would like to use the energy ( 3 barg to atm) in a turbine to a compressor drive. Does anybody have any experience in this subjet to recommend some suppliers for the equipment?
Thanks,

RE: Energy recovery with hydroturbines
I looked it up to see if the old memory was working well, and it is a B-J type TKW, and VKW. They were referred to as 'Hydro Turbine' types. I also discovered a page in my old B-J manual that listed other manufacturers, and there were a lot of them, including: Allis Chalmers, Bingham Williamette, Flygt, I-R, Worthington, and a plethera of other names less well known to me.
Do a google on 'hydro turbines' or hydraulic turbines.

RE: Energy recovery with hydroturbines
We did google for hydro turbines and we sent some quotations requeriments, but we did not have any answer by now. Flowserve says that 3 bar seems very low for a turbine operation. Based on your experience in the subject, what do you think about it?
