DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)
DTEC (Discharged Thermal Energy Conversion)


Characteristics of DTEC
- Effective utilization of low temperature waste heat
This system enables to generate electricity by low temperature waste heat (200℃ or less) from the industries such as oil refineries, steel plants and chemical plants.
- Energy-saving and CO2 emission reduction
DTEC saves energy and reduces CO2, because the system does not use fossil fuel.
- Possible substitute of cooling facilities
The system can be used to substitute cooling facilities.
- Desalination
The system can produce fresh water by desalination (optional). For details, please refer to "Desalination and Secondary Use of Deep Seawater".

Mini-DTEC is fabricated at our factory to reduce installation cost at the sites.
- Simple and small
We have developed highly efficient and integrated devices to achieve simple and small system.
- Container-sized, easy to transport and install
Generation Cost
| Type | Construction cost (※3) | Load factor | Depreciation cost (※4) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DTEC (MW scale) | Approx. JPY300~400k/kW | 80~95% | JPY2.4~3.2/kWh |
| Photovoltaic | Approx. JPY600k/kW | 12~14% | JPY33~38/kWh |
| Wind | Approx. JPY200k/kW | 15~25% | JPY6.1~10/kWh |
(※3) The construction cost of DTEC plant is referential since it is much affected by the size of waste heat quantity and characteristics.
(※4) Depreciation period:15 years. Interests are not considered for the estimates.。
