A practical alternative

Small hydro generation can be installed in many industrial applications where piping returns water to a lower elevation from a process located above. Often this hydraulic energy is wasted by dissipation through pressure-reducing valves or other piping constrictions. An economically and environmentally attractive alternative is to install an energy-recovery turbine at a low point in the piping, and turn wasted energy into electricity.

Kinectrics has the expertise, resources, and experience to analyze your energy-recovery opportunities and implement a small hydro project from concept to commissioning.

Complete services

Kinectrics can undertake the design and feasibility studies necessary to evaluate a turbine solution based on the specific conditions encountered in any water system. From surge analysis and mitigation recommendations to equipment selection and layout decisions, Kinectrics can help you fit efficient energy-recovery generation into your new or existing water network.

Kinectrics’ engineers design complete mini-hydro installations to turn unused energy into electricity. Kinectrics can deliver maximize value for clients by providing expert recommendations for using the resulting power in displacing existing loads, or in earning new revenue by feeding the grid.
