 Energent’s Microsteam Turbine Power System efficiently
converts your wasted steam energy into electric power.

Revolutionary. Innovative. Green.
All words which accurately
describe Energent’s Microsteam®
Turbine. This efficient, compact
power system generates electricity
from previously wasted steam
energy in buildings and plants.
Any application having steam
boilers or steam service with
pressure reduction valves (PRVs) is
a candidate for this “plug and play”
preassembled system. These units
represent a significant opportunity
for progressive-minded facility
managers who want to optimize an
existing resource, improve energy
security, contain electricity costs,
and take an important step towards
creating a sustainable future.
How It Works
The operating principle is simple—
energy otherwise dissipated by
reducing the steam pressure in a
valve is converted to power by
the Microsteam® Turbine. The
