Ormat's recovered energy generation (REG) systems are used in a wide variety of applications, including:
Gas Pipeline CompressorsCapable of operating unattended in remote and harsh environments, the OEC offers significant advantages for energy recovery or gas turbine compressors on gas pipelines, such as: - Lower pressures of OEC based heat recovery systems leads to higher reliability and availability
- Absence of water in power cycle and cooling system avoids freeze-up risk
- Economical for smaller scale
6.5 MW OEC at TransCanada Pipeline Gold Creek
Compressor Station, Alberta, Canada - 1999
Back to Top Gas Processing Plants Gas turbines driven compressors are used for the compression of natural gas as part of the processing plant. The OEC allows optimal utilization of the exhaust heat from the gas turbines for the supply of reliable power for the plants' internal load, reducing its dependence on grid powerand its cost. 
4.5 MW OEC at Enterprise Gas Processing
Plant, Louisiana - 2004
Back to Top Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Regasification Terminals Ormat's Recovered Energy Generation (REG) system for LNG regasification terminals is an environmentally benign power generation system that generates fuel-free, reliable electrical power by exploiting the heat sink inherent in the LNG regasification process. The REG system for LNG regasification terminals is a highly cost-effective utilization of unused heat energy. The system fully bypasses the existing regasification line, adding some redundancy to it. Depending on the configuration of the regasification process, the installation can be carried out without, or with only very short, interruption of the normal operation; alternatively it can be done during regular maintenance periods. It operates without interfering with the terminal's core business, taking advantage of the available hot and cold sources in the regasification process to generate economically viable electrical power. The system is tailor-made for the specific conditions of each LNG plant and is adaptable to any type of vaporization system used in the plant. No specialized operators are required, maintenance is simple and can be performed by the plant's existing maintenance team. For further details, please contact Mr Edi Koren, at: ekoren@ormat.com Back to Top Cement Plants As one of the most energy intensive processing industries, cement manufacturers are increasingly driven to use recovered energy power generation systems for the capture of the large amounts of waste heat available in clinker coolers' hot air and preheater gases.
The OEC is particularly suitable for modern cement plants with lower temperature exhaust gases. 
1.5 MW OEC at HeidelbergCement AG
Plant at Lenfgurt, Germany - 1999
Back to Top Biomass & RDF ORMAT's OEC can be fully integrated with biomass and RDF systems, eliminating the need for high pressure, complex steam systems and providing an economic solution for mid-sized plants. 
0.55 MW OEC at Akutone Amenity park
in Minakami, Japan - 1998
Back to Top Industrial Processes A wide variety of existing industrial processes offer an affordable, and environmentally superior option for supplemental on-site power when and where it is needed. Ormat's OEC based Recovered Energy Generation (REG) system is an economical, clean, low-maintenance solution.
