Solar Steam Generator Overview
Ausra's solar steam generators 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 Engineers’ (ASME) "S" Stamp Certificate of Authorization. An ASME "S" Stamp is considered the industry hallmark of acceptance and certification.
Ausra serves a broad range of power and industrial steam customers, providing fully integrated solar thermal product offerings:
- Utility-Scale Solar and Solar-Hybrid Power Generation: Ausra supplies solar steam generators for utility-scale, standalone power plants. The company also offers a low-cost, natural gas back-up boiler (solar-hybrid plant design) that can meet the same dispatchability levels as conventional power plants, but with far lower emissions.
- Steam Augmentation: Ausra's solar steam generators provide steam augmentation for existing and new build natural gas-fired and coal-fired power plants. Our solar steam generators enable power customers to increase electricity production at peak periods and reduce plant emissions.
- Industrial Steam Processes: Ausra offers industrial customers direct solar steam or hot water for diverse process steam applications, ranging from enhanced oil recovery and petrochemical refining, to food processing and desalination.
