ClearPower North America Launches its Industrial Turbine Generator

Company Converts Water Flow into a Source of Sustainable, Renewable,
Low-Cost Energy

CASTLE ROCK, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–ClearPower North America has launched a patented, axial flow,
fixed-blade Kaplan Industrial Turbine Generator (ITG), a solution that
empowers manufacturers, utilities, municipalities and any business that
utilizes gravity-fed pipelines or outfalls to convert their water flow
into a source of sustainable, renewable, low-cost electricity.


A trusted technology with proven reliability, the ITG features a
direct-drive, synchronous, permanent magnetized generator (PMG) that
captures the energy of moving water from gravity-fed pipelines.

Unlike all other options on the market, the simple design of the PMG
prevents the need for an outside powerhouse or generator to convert
power to electricity and does not require additional cooling equipment.

The use of permanent magnets makes the turbine and generator act as one,
eliminating the need for transmission gearing as well as separate motors
and shafts. The unique all-in-one rim design of the generator removes
the need for a central shaft and couplings, resulting in a simplified,
compact and efficient generating system that improves efficiency, limits
noise and vibration.

“Every business and municipality is looking for ways to lower
operational costs, improve their bottom line, and show their customers
that they are taking steps to be a sustainable organization,” said
Michael Prendergast, managing partner at ClearPower North America. “Our
ClearPower platform can help manufacturers and municipalities achieve
all those goals. It will significantly lower the cost of electricity
through an automated system, save money while optimizing efficiency, and
increase productivity. The use of evolutionary technologies such as this
allow us to generate more clean, sustainable electricity, create jobs,
and reduce demand on an aging energy infrastructure.”

The ITG has been designed for simplified installation with potentially
no downtime or disruption to a facility or operations. Requiring only 10
feet of clearance, ClearPower’s bolt-on platform offers a small
footprint that easily becomes part of an existing infrastructure while
removing pressure and not affecting flow.

ClearPower’s services can be used in a variety of manufacturing settings
that use a high volume of water, including paper mills, mining
companies, glass makers, chemical refineries, and more. The ClearPower
solution can also be used by utilities, other major energy producers,
municipalities, and agriculture.
