AQYLON’s organic working fluids
have a very low Global Warming
Potential (3-20). Refrigerant
fluids can be used but their GWP
range between 800 to 1000.
Rugged
AQYLON’s ORC modules are
designed for durability and
fit into standard containers,
allowing for modular
deployment.
Efficient
AQYLON’s ORC modules apply
cutting edge technology to
maximize efficiency according
to the heat source. AQYLON
holds four patents related to
turbines and ORC technology,
and eight more are pending.

Heat recovery from diesel engines and gas turbines

ORC modules are available from 500
KWe to 5 MWe. AQYLON’s ORC mo-
dules convert waste heat contained in
exhaust fumes into electricity.

around 10%. Because the heat to drive
the ORC cycle comes from the exhaust

t Engines
We can valorize the flue gas, jacket water or both.
For economical and financial reasons, it can be
more efficient to have two separate circuits, with
one ORC to recover flue gas heat and a second
separate ORC to recover the jacket water heat.
Engine radiators are a pure investment, with no
possibility of payback time. Moreover, they have to
be replaced on a regular basis. When jacket water
heat is recovered with an ORC solution, the engine
is cooled at the same time, effectively replacing the
engine’s radiator. This eliminates the need to buy
a dedicated radiator for a new engine installation.
For existing engines there will be no need to replace
the radiator regularly, as our system has a 25 year
lifetime.

ORC technology avoids corrosion

issues and turbine wear associated with
steam turbines - such as blade erosion
and high speed operation - resulting in
low maintenance costs. Our ORC modules
can rapidly ramp up to match changing
power needs, from 30% up to 120% of
nominal capacity. Rugged design ensures
a life expectancy of over 25 years.
 Our product range includes three versions:
L version for low temperatures from 85°C to 120°C, such as the ATM-500L
M version for medium temperatures from 120°C to 220°C, such as the ATM-500M
H version for high temperatures from 260°C to 330°C, such as the ATM-500H
The low and high temperature ranges are the best solutions for engines and gas turbines

A wide range of financing solutions
If there is no will or capacity to invest
in an ORC solution, AQYLON offers
a fully financed solution where all
costs and risks associated with
our ORC modules are assumed by
external investors. In exchange, the
client provides AQYLON with a Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The client agrees to purchase electricity
produced by AQYLON’s ORC modules
at a price that is 5 – 30% below the plant
electricity price or plant generation cost.
At the end of the PPA period,
the client can renew the PPA
or purchase AQYLON’s ORC modules
at a greatly reduced price.
Our Project Financing Model: There are three possibilities at the

AQYLON designs, manufactures and installs complete ORC solutions (Organic Rankine Cycle) for the production of electricity
from high temperature heat sources, at a competitive price. AQYLON proposes 4 standard ORC sizes: 500 to 5000kWe. Targeted
applications include recovery of waste heat from engines, recovery of industrial waste heat, and biomass power plants. AQYLON also
proposes custom-made ORC solutions for different ORC sizes to address wide temperature ranges, starting at 90°C, for applications
such as geothermal and solar thermal sources.

AQYLON offers two business models. Customers may invest through the usual product purchasing process. For customers not
willing to invest, we have a “ZERO CAPEX/ OPEX” option with turnkey solutions fully financed with the sale of the produced
electricity, at a lower price than the grid (PPA).

All product descriptions, technical specifications and representations may change without prior notice. The information contained in this document includes general
descriptions of some technical options available, which may not apply in all cases. The required technical options should therefore be specified in the contract.
