The Rice Mill industry relies heavily on steam turbines. Rice mills can improve their energy efficiency and production capacity by using husk-fueled cogeneration systems to meet their thermal and electrical needs. This would not only save money but will also ensure a steady supply of electricity. produce additional cash from the surplus electricity provided by the rice husks. Electricity is created by a steam turbine topping cycle, and the turbine exhaust steam is used for heating purposes.

These precisely developed machines, specifically for rice mill applications, provide the best, most efficient, and most dependable steam supply solution in the whole industry for rice processing at advanced stages. Turtle Turbines pioneered the engineering behind dependable power generation as well as the provision of steam for process, giving the best available solutions to the plant’s diverse needs.

Steam turbines are used in the pharmaceutical industries in which electricity and heat drive many processes and it is often economical to integrate steam turbines into processes to produce electricity that can be used to power the facility. Steam turbines are similarly used to produce energy from waste. When waste material is combusted, the heat is used to drive an efficient and customized steam turbine.

Steam Turbines use the potential energy of steam and transform it into kinetic and mechanical energy. High-pressure steam is fed into a turbine that spins a generator producing electricity.

Steam is commonly used in the Pharma Industry for process heating, cleaning, and sterilization, humidification, distillation among other applications. Steam Turbines are effectively integrated to generate power using the pressure difference between the Boiler Pressure and the Process Pressure. Turtle Turbines has supplied several turbines to Pharma Industries even with varying steam flows.

In the Veg Oil Industry generally, the Steam Pressure is reduced using a PRV. The Steam Turbine is erected to serve as a Rotary PRV and to recover energy that would otherwise be lost in the PRV. The recovered energy is then turned into usable clean electrical energy. In Veg Oil industries Steam Turbines are specifically developed to provide the best, most efficient, and most dependable option in the industry for providing steam for Veg oil processing at various stages. Turtle Turbines are engineered for Continuous power generation as well as the production of steam for process, giving the best available solutions to the plant’s fluctuating needs.

Steam turbines are used in a variety of industrial applications, including the production of vegetable oils, palm oils, fertilizers, and power plants.
To generate power, steam turbines are connected to an electric generator.
In the vegetable oil industry, steam turbine inlet steam conditions are typically between 12 (barg) Dry and Saturated and 45 (barg) 450 (°C).

Steam turbines use the energy released by expanding steam to generate electricity. Steam is generated by a boiler and then expanded in stages in the steam turbine until it reaches the predetermined exhaust pressure. Different processes, such as deodorization (2.5 to 5 barg) and direct heating, can use pre-defined exhaust pressures (2 to 3.5 barg).

In a Sulphuric Acid plant, a huge quantity of waste heat is generated which is utilized in a Waste Heat Boiler to generate steam. The steam thus generated is used to drive a steam turbine. These steam turbines can be used to further drive a Blower or to generate power. Condensing or extraction condensing type of Turbine is widely used to generate power. Turtle Turbines over 2 decades Engineered and Designed their Best in Class Turbines by considering the need of Sulphuric Acid Industry which are modern, highly efficient, low maintenance, and very easy to operate.

The Turbines can also take the variations in steam flow which is due to variation in sulphur production. The Turbine pays back within a year. With extraction condensing Steam Turbine both process steam requirement and electricity generation can be achieved. Heat is recovered from the sulphur by the production of high-pressure [40 kg/cm2 (g) or 60 kg/cm2 (g)] saturated steam in a waste heat boiler and further flows through a superheater to produce superheated steam [around 400 Deg C]. The High Pressure Superheated Steam is fed to a steam turbine to produce electricity. This electricity is used to feed electrical motors of other equipment inside the plant. Proper Design of Steam Turbine, Condenser, and Cooling water systems impacts the overall performance of the plant. Installation of Steam Turbine reduces the steam cost and pays back on electricity bills.

This article provides an overview of how steam turbines are implemented in distilleries to produce their power at a lower

rate of unit (Rs.2/unit). This article presents how steam turbines work in distilleries, principles of operation & which type of steam turbine can

be used in distilleries to produce more power within lower investment costs. Different types of steam turbines are useful in distilleries as per required

processes & steam flow rate.

The steam is used as a heating medium into a series of distillation columns to increase the concentration of alcohol and remove the various impurities from the

fermented wash. The steam is also used in Multiple Effective Evaporator (MEE), Dryer, and Jet cookers. So, energy, mainly electricity & fuel, used in the above

processes are generally derived from renewable sources like bagasse, spent wash, etc., and non-renewable sources like coal. The continuous price hike of these

energy sources, in turn, increases the processing expenses and the product cost. Cogeneration in Distillery reduces the energy cost. The investment gets paid

back around a year. Since the Steam Turbine maintains precise steam pressure, the quality of the product improves as well.

The Distillation Plant offered is a multi-pressure, multi-product distillation system with all prescribed auxiliary equipment and services as required to produce,

as a minimum, the desired ethanol quality. The system consists of a total of four Columns, Analyzer Column, Extractive distillation Column, Rectifier column &

Recovery column. Distilleries generate spent wash from the distillation column, spent lees from the analyzer column, and other wastewaters like fermenter

washings, fermenter cooling, floor washings, spillage, and cooling. The distillation process requires steam for heating the fermented wash to remove

water from it and produce ethanol. The steam is generated in a boiler at medium or high pressure. Generally, Bagasse, Coal, Spent Wash are used as fuel to produce

steam. Cogeneration utilizes the high or medium pressure steam coming out from the boiler, allowing it to expand in the Steam Turbine to deliver saturated

steam at a pressure/temperature required in the process. The medium pressure steam generated in the boiler is passed through a PRV to reduce its pressure to the

required process pressure. Here steam loses its energy in terms of enthalpy. A Back Pressure Steam Turbine performs the same operation of reducing

the steam pressure, in addition, it converts the enthalpy drop into useful electrical energy with a no or negligible loss. A well-designed Back Pressure

Turbine maintains precise back pressure which results in maintaining accurate process temperature to produce the best quality products. The investment is

paid back in a year or two. Since the Turbine performs a similar operation as that of PRV and additionally generates electric power which results in saving money,

cuts down the electricity monthly bill and delivers quality products because of delivering the good quality saturated steam for process heating
