HOW IT WORKS?
• Uses pressure of gravity fed pipelines
• Taps into the otherwise untapped head pressure.
• The pressure of water turns the turbine.
• Turbine is connected to the generator.
• Generator makes the electricity.

IDEAL FOR..
• Industrial facility that uses high volume of water.
• Municipal water transmission and distribution.
• Waste water treatment plants.
• Irrigation and agriculture
• Any pipeline with sufficient flow and pressure.

PERFORMANCE AND TECHNICAL SPECS
• Diameter: 24”-96”
• Factors that affect amount of power generated• Diameter
• Pressure
• Duration
• Required velocity of water is • > 4ft/s = 1.22m/s = 4.38km/hr

MGD = millions of gallon per day
24 MGD = 90 million litres of water
1 PSI = 0.068 atm
45 PSI = 3.068 atm(3 times the atmospheric pressure)

THE REAL EXAMPLE
• Portland, Oregon, USA implemented LucidPipe system into the local pipeline system.
• Generates 200kW of power.
• Uses 4 42” turbines.
• Started producing electricity in January 2015.
• The system will produce 1100 MWhrper year.
• This is enough to power up 150 homes.
