Application of molten salts in petrochemical processes ESE is working with a petrochemical multinational company to the application of molten salt as a temperature control fluid for their high-temperature processes. ESE provided consultancy services for the design and operation of two small scale molten salt pilot plants. It was then assessed a feasibility study and costs for a commercial application (> 5 MWth) were estimated, comparing different options for heat supply: gas, electricity, solar PV and solar CSP.

Feasibility study of a concrete-based thermal storage ESE completed the feasibility study of a 200 MWhth concrete-based thermal storage for conventional cogenerative power plants. The study has analyzed the functionality of the system, the interface with the conventional plant, the related capex, opex and performances. Moreover, it has been developed a cost and performance comparison between concrete-based and molten salts thermal storage.

Dalia Battery Storage for Combined Cycle Power Plant ESE, through its Energy Storage Business Unit, is glad to work as advisor for the Israel’s largest private power producer, Dalia Power Energies Ltd, by carrying out a study for the integration of a Battery Energy Storage System with the existing Combined Cycle Power Plant. This study comprises all stages, from technology evaluation and technical specifications development to contractors’ proposals assessment.
