Integral Power, LLC is a project development company with a mission to develop, own and operate environmentally responsible energy projects with high value and low commercial risk. This approach has focused the company on integrating combined heat & power (CHP) projects within existing industrial facilities to capture benefits not possible with stand alone power or gas fired steam generation. IP’s project developments cover a broad spectrum of industries across North America

Our Focus

ALL ENERGY COMPANIES TALK about their environment friendliness – words like “efficiency”, “renewable” and “recycle” have become the corporate buzzwords of our culture. But, this public relations mantra is typically used to describe a few highly marketed initiatives, diverting attention from a large portfolio of projects which use fossil fuels in traditional, inefficient ways.
In contrast, Integral Power believes that environmental stewardship should begin with making the best use of our limited natural resources. That means:

  • capturing energy that has already been used by industry and is now headed to the atmosphere as waste heat or process vent gases
  • utilizing carbon neutral fuels such as construction & demolition waste and other biomass materials
  • pursuing opportunities with waste fuels such as municipal solid waste, petroleum coke and Tire Derived Fuel which have significant BTU value and can be combined with state-of-the-art emission controls to produce clean power
  • in projects utilizing natural gas, configuring as Combined Heat & Power (CHP) to obtain overall thermal efficiencies above 80% and minimize water consumption by avoiding cooling tower evaporative losses.

Integral Power projects feature energy recycling in its purest forms, which translates to electricity and thermal energy (steam or hot water) being produced with the least impact on our environment, and saving precious natural resources for future generations. In short, GREEN ENERGY IS OUR BUSINESS.

Latest Project news Integral Power currently serves as the Managing Partner for Port Arthur Steam Energy LP (PASE).  IP led the development and execution effort for this unique re-development project, which achieved commercial operation in August, 2005.  The PASE project produces approx. 450,000 lb/hr of high pressure steam from waste heat recovered from three (3) petroleum coke calcining kilns at the Great Lakes Carbon facility in Port Arthur, Texas.  More information regarding the PASE project can be found by visiting the Port Arthur Steam Energy page.

How we can help IP is in various stages of development with other similar energy recovery projects with industrial hosts. These projects are covered under mutual non-disclosure agreements which preclude disclosure of host names, plant locations and project specifics. Please Contact IP should you wish to discuss a potential project or investment opportunity at your facility.

Industry News Our Port Arthur Steam Steam Energy project is in the news again. This project was documented as an example of Carbon Reducing Technologies in the Manufacturing Climate Solutions report published by the Center of Globalization, Governance & Competitiveness, Duke University.

Port Arthur Steam Energy has become a finalist for a coveted "Texas Environmental Excellence Award".  Through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the mission of the TEEA program is to honor the state's most outstanding waste reduction and pollution prevention projects.  More information can be found about the awards at www.TEEA.org

IP projects typically involve

  • Industrial waste heat recovery such as coke calcining, cement, lime and incineration
  • opportunity fuels such as pet coke, process off‐gases, biomass and pressure drop recovery
  • thermally integrated gas turbine Combined Heat & Power (CHP)
  • displacement of natural gas firing in existing boilers
  • environmental (green) credits for non‐conventional fuels and air emission offsets
