ThermoValue Energy Platform
For many regional operators, waste management and energy supply are treated as separate problems. The ThermoValue Energy Platform (TVE) brings them together. For timber and wood processing facilities, this can mean using bark, chips, offcuts and manufacturing residues to support the energy needs of the same facility that generated them.
ThermoValue Energy platform (TVE)
The ThermoValue Energy platform (TVE) is designed for industrial sites that generate consistent volumes of high calorific value biomass or organic residues. Rather than transporting these materials off site for low value disposal or uncertain recovery, the platform allows operators to recover energy directly at the point of origin. The system produces high temperature thermal energy through a thermal oil circuit, which can be used for process heat or converted into electricity through an Organic Rankine Cycle. This makes the platform particularly relevant for regional and remote Australian operators where grid access is constrained, energy costs are high and residue management remains a long-term operating challenge.
Outputs
The ThermoValue Energy platform (TVE) transfers recovered heat through a thermal oil circuit, allowing energy to be used directly within industrial processes or integrated into existing site heat systems.
Process Heat
To support drying, heating and other continuous thermal demands within timber, biomass and industrial processing facilities.
Thermal Oil Circuit
Heat is transferred through a controlled thermal oil system, providing stable and efficient energy delivery to site processes.
Site Autonomy
For operators with ongoing heat demand, the platform can reduce reliance on external fuel sources and improve energy resilience.
The ThermoValue Energy platform (TVE) can integrate ORC power generation to convert available thermal energy into electricity for behind the meter use and, where approved, export to the grid.
Behind-the-Meter Power
To support site operations and reduce exposure to grid electricity costs.
ORC Generation
Recovered thermal energy is converted into electricity through an Organic Rankine Cycle, suitable for continuous industrial energy recovery.
Grid Export
Where connection approvals and site conditions allow, surplus electricity may be exported to the grid.
