Our microturbine enables the off-grid performance monitoring of pressurized pipelines by reliably feeding electronic control units

About

The plug & play microturbine takes advantage of existing pressure drops and gas flow in the system to generate electricity used to power ancillary equipment for the maintenance, monitoring and operation of the networked pipeline systems. The energy harvesting device is self-protected against surcharge and over speeding and capable to perform auto diagnosis and communicate with other devices. The energy captured by the microturbine and converted into electric energy, is directly available in situ for monitoring devices. IoT Microturbine offers off grid real time monitoring and control solutions with a high reliability over time and across operating conditions while enabling the pipeline to work at low pressure, reducing the greenhouse effect through reduction of gas leakages as well as the CO2 emissions that would result from an equivalent grid connection in a remote location.

Key Benefits

Our patented and CE marked (ATEX certified) microturbines are a self-powered off-grid solution, tailored to monitoring and control of pressurised gas and water networks. In the low power range we have 4 products: two microturbines for natural gas applications (30 Watt and 150 Watt size); and 2 microturbines for water applications (30 Watt and 70 Watt). They allow to reliably power Internet of Things (IoT) devices that in turn enable data-driven management of Industry 4.0 processes. Our technology can be installed in all industrial processes where a pressurized fluid is present and can be coupled to third-party IoT devices.
