Archimedes hydro screw industry gets a much needed BOOST

Archimedes hydro screw industry gets a much needed BOOST

Since the introduction of the Feed in tariff (FITs) in the UK

In March 2010 for Hydro Power: the Hydro Energy and especially the Hydro Screw.

 

Further BOOST has been received  from some high profile Archimedes screw installations, like the installation of four Archimedean screw turbines being installed at the QUEEN’S  favorite residence at Windsor castle, and the completion of the Tees barrage  world’s first combined screw pumps and screw generators at one of the 2012 London Olympic venues.

The Archimedes screw turbine industry

Is dominated by manufacturers based in Holland and Germany; however, there are twice as many manufactures of Archimedes screw pumps that are used in the waste water and Sewage industry through out the world. These same companies are dominating the screw generator industry or working towards converting their screw pumps in to screw turbines, as it happens, the turbine is just the reverse of the Archimedean screw pump.

With all this buzz and competition, gradually some new and exciting new hydrodynamic screw products and new manufactures have joined the race, and some with

Innovative and exciting ideas that will change the hydro screw industry

Namely:

• Plastic and composite material Archimedes screws are the new comers

• In the industry that uses reinforced plastic body and a steel trough tube or shaft. The advantages are that it is rust proof  and light but cost more then the traditional steel Archimedean screws with limited range of up to 10 KW
• There is one UK Company that has come up with

• A revolutionary flat pack Archimedes screw system that is up to 70 % cheaper

• Than the cost of a traditional Archimedes Generator. Their hydro screw generator is designed and specified in UK but the components are sourced from the emerging economies throughout the world and assembled on site.

• Strategic sourcing, flat pack transportation and low profit margins are the main contributing factors in the cost reduction

• And these machines are huge, bulky and heavy says Bob the managing director of Pump and Generator.

Pump and Generator are selling their 50 KWatt system for as little as £29,777.00.

Due to huge demand and high volume of calls, they are only excepting email enquiries, to contact themclick here.

Hydrodynamic Screw Generator

Hydrodynamic Screw Generator

Screw Generators (Hydrodynamic screws) for Hydro Power generation schemes use an Archimedes Screw pump in the reverse. The water is not pumped up but water is released down the

Screw which acts as a turbine, extracting hydro energy from the falling water

 

The image above comprises of two Hydrodynamic Screw Generators, each being a Compact style screw.

 

This Hydro-dynamic screw generators are installed in series

with 2678 l/s flowing sequentially through the two screws over a total fall of around 10 meters, approximately 180 kW is generated (90 kW per screw generator).

 

Hydrodynamic Screw Generators or Screw Generators are used to generate electricity from the discharge flows from Sewage Treatment plants in UK and, the electricity generated can be transferred back into the mains grid.

Table of Hydro Power Feed-In Tariff levels for the year to 31st March 2012

This includes adjustments from the Fast-Track Review on 1st Aug 2011.

Complete listing of all

Hydro Energy Generation Tariff levels up to March 2012

Energy Source	Scale	Tariff (p/kWh)	Duration (years)
Hydro	≤15 kW	20.9	20
Hydro	>15 – 100kW	18.7	20
Hydro	>100kW – 2MW	11.5	20
Hydro	>2MW – 5MW	4.7	20

Hydro-dynamic Screw generators offer all the usual benefits associated with screw pumpsincluding

• No complicated control system – the screw matches itself automatically to the supply frequency and the water supply.
• High efficiency is greater than comparable waterwheels and small turbines with flat stable curve.
• Minimum maintenance due to just 4 main components
• Robust, long wearing and trouble free parts and components.
• No fine screens needed with little or No cleaning required
• Highly friendly to fish acting as a fish pass.
• Minimal civil engineering needed in comparison to turbines.

In the modern climate where alternative “green” energy is very much in demand the

Hydrodynamic screw generator offers a simple reliable

 

and proven means of harnessing the

renewable hydro energy from the flowing, or falling water of low head hydro site
