Buoyancy Vortex Technology
The Vortex system works as an ‘add on’ to existing on-site infrastructure. It generates a controllable freestanding atmospheric vortex, which concentrates high wind speeds that drive a turbine at the base and generates electricity.
We have reverse engineered the natural phenomena of waterspouts.
If you think about a waterspout, which is an intense funnel shaped spiralling cloud of mist and air that occurs over water, we’ve deconstructed this natural phenomenon and engineered a solution that generates electricity from waste heat.
Input: Low Grade Industrial Waste Heat, traditionally sent to cooling towers
Hot water sprayed from a central point source to heat and saturate the air
Hot saturated air rises
Surrounding air is drawn into vortex by the low pressure zone and convection currents establish
Incoming convective air is given vorticity by swirl vanes
Rotating atmospheric vortex drives the vortex turbine
Output
• Clean Electricity
• Cooling water return
Because the wind power in the vortex is manmade, the power generation is more consistent and not as susceptible to the unpredictable nature of weather compared to a conventional wind turbine or a solar plant.
VPS Plants will increase the performance of thermal processes by 10%
Industry is facing enormous pressure to shift towards net zero carbon economy.
While significant advances have been made to produce power using renewable energy sources, currently only 20% of the world’s power supply is generated from wind, solar, hydro, and tidal; and because natural resources rely on environmental factors, power supply can be intermittent and unreliable.
By reducing the fuel and carbon emissions of thermal power plants and utilising the waste product from industry, our innovative Vortex system helps overcome these limitations and provides a pathway to transition into a clean economy.
This technology is the future beginning now.
