Againity develops and constructs robust and high-performing ORC turbine systems. The ORC converts low temperature heat (> 90˚C) into sustainable and local electricity pro­duction from 50 kWe to 2.5 MWe. Common heat sources include biomass boilers, waste incinerators, biogas boilers, and waste heat from gas turbines or diesel generators.

Againity’s system is based on the long-known Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology. The technology includes a steam turbine set in motion by the pressure of a vaporized internal working medium. The rotating turbine drives a generator that produces electricity. The ORC system is delivered pre-assembled and connected with two pipes to the heat source and two pipes to the cooling water (e.g. district heating return flow or air cooling system).

Why Againity?

Thanks to the unique design of Againity’s patented turbine and the low number of moving parts in the system, a high-quality product can be offered. This minimizes the need for service (normally less than 1 day/year) which significantly shortens the payback time compared to similar technologies.

Bizcat is a strategic energy consultant focused on the heat market for some 20 years, including managing highly recognised international DHN feasibility studies in UK, Canada, US and New Zealand. During our 10 years of UK presence we have provided strategic low carbon energy advisory support, regional and local economic development, district energy masterplan and feasibility studies, low heat density R&D as well as studies on building compliance for DHN and heat pumps in England, Scotland and Wales.

Our offer: Strategic energy advisor and business case consultant

Bizcat’s entry to any project or study is based on our ‘demand-to-supply’ perspective, meaning heat supply options need to match heat demand and not vice versa. Defining the actual and future heat (or cooling) demand, especially the system designing peak demand, is the most important part of all studies having a considerable impact on sizing, design and costs. We know ways for substantial reduction in capital and operational expenditures for heat supply systems (generation, distribution and building interface) by marginal changes in building operation.

With the ‘demand-to-supply’ approach the heat and cooling solutions will be dependent on demand structure and options of local energy sources. Bizcat always strives for making low carbon heating solutions becoming drivers for developing the local economy and well-being of the residents.

With 10 years presence on the UK heating market, Bizcat have been collaborating with several UK and Swedish energy and engineering consultancies (e.g. Atkins, Arup, Locogen, Natural Power, FVB, Nordic Heat and ÅF). Over time we have built a network of associate specialists and collaboration partners (investment and financing, business models, deep data analysis and AI etc.) making it possible for us to customise expert teams for each project. Our long and deep UK experience has provided us with an insight of building improvement potential that can revolutionise the entire heat market in the UK.

Why Bizcat?

• Our understanding and experience of the specific UK heat market
• ‘Demand-to-supply’ and technology independence (DHN, heat pumps, biomass)
• Small building management changes making huge size and cost reductions
• Customised project teams based on our network of specialists and partners
