AQUALIENNE® eco-turbine

Our subsidiary, ISI, develops and manufactures AQUALIENNES®, a new patented process for low-head hydro-electrical eco-turbines.
The performances and ecological benefits of these "green turbines" can be used on many public and private sites to generate electricity: streams, windmills, former factories, canals, reaches, etc.
The AQUALIENNE® process can provide homes and public authorities with an innovative, effective and long-term solution for hydro-electric production using a free and renewable energy source.

ECOLOGICAL hydroelectric turbine

  • Slow rotation of approximately 12 rpm ensures that fish can pass through unharmed.
  • Integrated device for the evacuation of canal bed silt.
AQUALIENNE® eco-turbines protect fauna and flora without fail. They are designed to meet current environmental requirements and future changes to these requirements.

COST-SAVING hydroelectric turbine

  • Characteristics
          Head: approx. 1 - 3m 
          Flows of approx. 1 - 15 m3/s
          Canal width: 2 - 6 m
          Capacity installed: 20 - 300 KW
  • Authorisation not required for installation on existing sites with current and uninterrupted dam rights (former factories and windmills) according to the French water law
  • Operation from the first KW/H maintaining the production of electricity in periods of low water flow (via compensation water)
  • Integrated regulation of compensation and discharged water; automated management with remote control via an Internet connection
  • Connection to the ERDF network with sale of electricity
The reliability and yield of AQUALIENNE® eco-turbines can ensure a return on investment over twelve to fifteen years
(depending on the equipment installed; on the basis of current EDF rates).
