CTL's ERU range minimizes and removes impediment through its priority function, whilst its ability create pressure differentials through the apparatus maximize the energy recoverable from fluid flows..
CTL's ERU can provide a perfect 'plug and play' solution; by simply bolting onto discharge pipes or outlets, CTL ERUs offer the most advanced solutions for the recovery of energy from existing fluid conveyance infrastructure inclusive of municipal and irrigation pipelines, water treatment and desalination plants, thermal power stations, hydro power plants, water supply dams, mine water transfer, as well as oil and gas pipelines.
CTL ERUs do not need constant flow rates and energy production matches infrastructure consumption profile, removing the necessity for storage solutions in embedded power solutions.
CTL ERUs can be deployed at existing hydro power plants to augment current production capacities without the need for costly civil works or detailed environmental studies as would be required in new dam developments.
