This technology uses modular flat reflectors to focus the sun's heat onto elevated receivers, which consist of a system of tubes through which water flows. The concentrated sunlight boils the water in the tubes, generating high-pressure steam for direct use in power generation and industrial steam applications without the need for costly heat exchangers.

Operations

Applications

AREVA Solar serves a broad range of power and industrial steam customers, providing fully integrated solar thermal product offering. AREVA Solar’s solar steam generators can deploy quickly to provide to provide super-heated 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" "S" Stamp Certificate of Authorization, considered as the industry hallmark of acceptance and certification.

Power Generation

Utility-Scale Solar and Solar-Hybrid Power Generation
AREVA Solar 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:

Steam Augmentation
AREVA Solar’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 processing

Industrial Steam Processes
AREVA Solar offers industrial customers direct solar steam, ranging from enhanced oil recovery and petrochemical refining, to food processing and desalination.
