TURBULENT

Decentralized Hydropower
inspired by nature
TURBULENT

Discover the easiest way to

generate renewable
and reliable energy from
your water channel.
Inspired by nature, our vibrant team of engineers
developed a smart and low head micro hydropower
plant that can be installed in locations with as little as 1.5
meters of height difference. A vortex turbine that delivers 3
to 100kW depending on the requirements of each project.

Energy comes at high cost, it has always been an expenditure rather than a
source of income. Turbulent is here to change that for you.

WHY DO We help generate profit from water channels (such as rivers and canals) on
your property.

Without impeding the water flow, our technology can turn your stream into

a high monthly revenue. No dam means less permits are required, making
it easier to get approved

OUR KEY FEATURES

FISH FRIENDLY LOW MAINTENANCE TURN-KEY AND MOBILE

An low RPM impeller with a design that
creates low shear stress and has a slow
rate of pressure difference over the
blade ensure that this turbine lets all
fish and aquatic life pass by unharmed.
Superb quality components, a self
cleaning trash rack and only 1 moving
component makes sure this turbine
produces energy with hardly any
maintenance cost.
The vortex turbine is the smallest in its
kind for each given energy production. It
is prefabricated and easily transported to
your site.

LONG OPERATING LIFE NO FLOOD RISK REMOTE MONITORING

All civil structures are able to withstand In case the river floods itself, all The turbine is fitted with a remote

HOW DOES WHAT DO WE DO?

IT WORK? We develop hydropower plants that operate at a high level of efficiency on rivers
and canals with a low height difference thanks to a new technology based on
the vortex principle. We generate electricity in the form of a single turbine or a
1. network of multiple turbines.
