The present study focused on the feasibility of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) using waste heat
recovery. The waste heat covered from glass factory. The working fluid in the cycle were
Isobutane. Thermodynamic model of the system was derived and validated for performance
prediction. The validated thermodynamic model is used to optimize the operation of the small
ORC in waste heat recovery application. The temperature which recovered and mass flow rate
were 155 ºC and 27 kg/s respectively. The power output of double stage turbines was 8370 kW
.The payback period 2.5 years. It is concluded from the study that recovering the waste heat by
way of ORCs is technically and economically feasible. As recycled energy, waste heat has the
same advantages as renewable energy.
