About Us
ENERGY INNOVATION WITH TRIOGEN
At Triogen, we're more than just a company; we're pioneers at the forefront of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology turnaround. Our company began in 2001, with a clear goal to transform waste heat into a powerful, renewable energy source. Today, we stand as a example of innovation, having refined our ORC systems into reliable, standardized products that lead the industry.
OUR STORY: TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION
Since our inception, Triogen and our partners have worked to evolve the Triogen ORC into what it is today- a testament to engineering and sustainable energy solutions. Our collaboration with institutions like Lappeenranta University of Technology, Delft University of Technology, and the University of Twente, among others, has led us to new heights, enabling us to overcome the energy and environmental challenges our planet faces.
OUR MISSION AND VISION:
A GREENER FUTURE
Our mission is fueled by a passion for innovation and a commitment to top quality. We strive to develop and deploy waste-heat technology that not only addresses the energy and environmental challenges of our time but also delivers value to our customers. Our vision is bold yet attainable: by 2035, we aim to elevate ORC technology to the widespread success achieved by turbochargers over the past four decades. We envision a future where ORC systems are a part of combustion engines, dramatically reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
THE TRIOGEN DIFFERENCE
Backed by major shareholders like Aan de Stegge Bouw & Werktuigbouw, Capital Mineral Resource Investments Limited and Wadinko N.V., Triogen has established a strong foundation. Our headquarters in Neede, the Netherlands, is a hub of innovation, where our team of professionals - experts in their fields - work to advance ORC technology and deliver unique solutions to our clients.
POWER THE FUTURE WITH TRIOGEN'S SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS
As we continue to expand our presence across Europe and collaborate with a diverse array of partners, we invite businesses and industries to join us. Whether you're looking to enhance the efficiency of your operations, reduce your carbon emissions, or explore the vast potential of waste-heat recovery, Triogen has the expertise and technology to make it happen.
History
Triogen began in the 1860s, based on the principles of the well-established Rankine Cycle. Our story took a significant turn in 2001 when Professor Van Buijtenen founded Triogen with the vision to advance this principle into a commercially product. This vision led to a collaboration with Lappeenranta University of Technology in Finland. This was the start of Triogen ORC technology development.
MILESTONES AND PARTNERSHIPS
In 2002, an important partnership was formed with Aan de Stegge Bouw & Werktuigbouw, who not only invested in Triogen but also played an important role in the technological advancements that followed. This collaboration led to the first experimental ORC model.
By 2003, the focus shifted towards technical optimization and practical implementation, moving development efforts to Aan de Stegge's production facilities. This period of innovation culminated in 2006 with the installation of an experimental model at a landfill site in Groningen, Netherlands, for extensive duration tests.
STANDARDIZATION AND SUCCESS
The insights gained from these tests were instrumental in developing a standardized ORC installation, leading to a pilot run of 5 units in 2008. These units were subjected to rigorous testing across various applications, eventually giving rise to the standardized WB-01 version.
The year 2010 meant two significant milestones: the partnership with Yellow & Blue Clean Energy Investments and the international launch of Triogen's first projects. By 2012, Triogen had established itself as a leader in ORC technology, boasting over twenty references, a team of 17 full-time employees, and an expanding global presence.
In 2016, Triogen launched the “e-box”, a plug and play containerised ORC that incorporated all of the lessons learned but at a significantly lower cost. This “e-box” and the corresponding “t-box” (being a containerised version of a Triogen compatible evaporator and table cooler) were placed into (and passed through) the new technology acquisition process of Triogen’s largest customer, a multinational combustion engine rental company, in 2018.
In 2020, Triogen produced a new and improved version of its high-speed turbine generator (HTG), which resulted in the gross power output from the Triogen ORC increasing to 190kWe.
In 2021 and into 2022, Triogen went through a significant restructuring exercise which, amongst other things, saw Triogen partner with Contour Advanced Systems BV (CAS) for the manufacture of the Triogen ORC solution.
In 2023, the first 5 Triogen ORC solutions were successfully produced for Triogen by CAS.
At the time of writing, Triogen has over 50 ORC installed across countries in the EU and the UK, Bulgaria, Turkey, UAE and Australia. In terms of these installed ORCs, Triogen can boast over 1,500,000 operating hours with a 98% long-term availability of its fleet.
