Overview

I-N-TECH’s conduit hydropower turbine is designed to recover energy from water flowing through existing pipelines and convert it into electricity for nearby infrastructure.

The proposed system targets suitable locations where excess hydraulic pressure is already reduced. It combines a turbine and generator with monitoring and electrical controls. Site selection and sizing must maintain the required downstream pressure, water supply and operating performance.

Key Features

• Energy recovery from available water flow and pressure
• Integration into suitable existing water pipelines
• Turbine and generator sized for each installation
• Proposed flow, pressure and energy monitoring
• IoT connectivity and remote dashboard integration
• Power conditioning for selected local electrical loads
• Bypass and isolation arrangement for maintenance

Technical Specifications

Energy source	Available hydraulic energy within the pipeline
Power output	Determined by flow, usable pressure drop and system efficiency
Turbine type	Selected according to site hydraulic conditions
Pipe diameter and pressure rating	Confirmed during engineering design
Electrical interface	Specified for the generator and intended loads
Monitoring	Proposed inlet and outlet pressure, flow and electrical output
Water-contact materials	Selected for water quality and service conditions

Warranty

Turbine assembly, generator and controls: terms to be confirmed in the final commercial offer.

Ideal Applications

• Municipal water networks
• Suitable pressure reduction stations
• Bulk water pipelines
• Industrial water systems
• Reservoir supply lines

Deployment depends on hydraulic assessment, water quality requirements and approval from the relevant network owner.
