Challenges
We are looking for new solutions in the area of electricity, heat and hydrogen storage with high efficiency and stability. We are particularly interested in products that are compatible with renewable energy sources. In addition, we are interested in intelligent management systems for stored energy.
We are looking for solutions capable of reducing electrical energy consumption in the diverse operational areas of petrochemical and refinery plants, such as the operation of process equipment (including pumps and compressors), lighting, energy demand management etc.
We are looking for solutions to forecast the productivity of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines based on meteorological data.
Throughout the ORLEN Group, we are looking for solutions to manage waste heat or low-temperature production heat that would be able to bring economic benefits or improve process efficiency. We are keen to find technologies that enable the conversion of waste heat into a useful medium or other business benefit. We have a number of heat sources in the petrochemical and refinery area, including condensate heat (70-120 °C), low-pressure steam near atmospheric pressure) and heat from hydrocarbon streams (60-100 °C). We are open to diverse solutions such as heat exchangers, heat pumps, ORC and others.
