Your Solar Thermal Energy Solution
Ausra's solar thermal technology can deploy quickly to provide solar-generated steam to power your operations reliably and cost-effectively. We are the first solar steam power boiler manufacturer to receive the American Society of Mechanical Engineer's (ASME) "S" Stamp Certificate of Authorization. An ASME "S" Stamp is considered the industry hallmark of acceptance and certification. It is recognized in more than 100 countries as a means of meeting government safety regulations. We serve a broad range of power and industrial steam customers, providing fully integrated solar thermal product offerings:
Solar Steam Generators for Industrial Processes: Ausra provides direct solar steam for diverse industrial operations, ranging from enhanced oil recovery and petrochemical refining, to food processing and desalination. Our land-efficient, reliable and direct solar steam generator systems integrate simply with conventional steam processes in retrofit and new plant designs.
Steam Augmentation for Gas- and Coal-Fired Power Plants: Ausra's innovative solar generator systems can be deployed at existing natural gas- and coal-fired power stations to deliver emissions-free steam. With our technology, customers can increase plant output while lowering carbon emissions. Ausra was the first company in the world to install a solar-coal-fired power augmentation facility, currently online in Australia.
Large-Scale Power Generation: In today's evolving carbon market, power producers are looking for energy solutions to decrease emissions while enhancing their competitive advantage. Ausra supplies solar steam equipment for large-scale, standalone power plants. To meet the same dispatchability levels as a conventional power plant, Ausra can include a natural gas boiler back-up design (solar-hybrid plant).
