Project number: 2017-1029
This report investigated the feasibility of superheated steam power generation in Australian red meat processing facilities. A range of technologies including condensing turbines, extraction turbines, back pressure turbines (BPTs), economizers, concentrated solar thermal (CST) and a range of fuels (coal, natural gas, woodchip, biomass, biogas, LPG) were considered.

The technology found to be most technically and economically viable can be found here in this report and snapshot.
