Pump operating as a turbine for energy recovery
The BTT (Pump as Turbine) is an innovative solution designed to recover hydraulic energy in industrial systems by operating a centrifugal pump in reverse mode.
Instead of consuming energy, the BTT uses excess pressure or head within the system to generate mechanical energy, which can be converted into electrical power or reused within the process.
⚙️ Key Features
- Reverse operation (turbine mode) using standard pump designs
- Energy recovery from excess pressure or hydraulic head
- Compact and robust design, based on proven technology
- Easy integration into existing systems (inline or bypass)
- Reduction of energy losses in pressure control devices
- Low maintenance requirements
🧠 Working Principle
The BTT operates by using a conventional pump in reverse, converting hydraulic energy into mechanical energy at the shaft, which can be utilized through a generator or mechanical coupling.
🏭 Applications
- Industrial systems with excess pressure
- Water and wastewater networks
- Continuous process plants
- Systems with pressure reducing valves
- Irrigation networks
- Offshore and utility systems
🧩 Value Proposition
BTT technology transforms wasted energy into operational value by delivering:
- Improved energy efficiency
- Reduced operating costs
- Enhanced sustainability
- Optimized hydraulic performance
