Abstract
Accepted: 15.043.2015 Requirement of energy in the life of humanity has been increasing everyday more than one day before, but in the meantime energy sources have been running out rapidly. Efficient usage of energy is sufficiently important for industrial facilities to resist the competitive conditions in the market by the reduction in cost of energy consumption and unit product cost. In this regard, waste heat recovery potential during the ore cooling process at an iron and steel facility sinter plant by using ORC system was theoretically investigated. As a result, it is determined that about 10% of 9,527 kW waste power potential would be recovered to electricity in the industrial facility by the establishment of organic Rankine cycle (ORC). Environmentally, about 5001 tones CO2/year emission release by the combustion of coal to generate equal amount of electricity was eliminated by electricity generation by ORC. The payback period of the possible ORC system investment was foreseen about 2.4 years.
