This project will implement a 1.5 MWt SolarSteam system with Sunamp’s Phase Change Material (PCM) Thermal Energy Storage (TES) at Base Element Energy’s oil emulsion treatment facility in Cynthia, Alberta. SolarSteam’s proprietary Design for Manufacturing, Shipping, and Assembly (DfMSA™) enables deployment in all climates. This first-of-its-kind integration at this scale will demonstrate the transition from TRL 7 to TRL 9 and act as a model for large-scale manufacturing and rollout.
SolarSteam will install 30 50 kWt Obelix™ modules in three phases to heat supply water and reduce dependence on natural gas boilers, utilizing a thermal battery to ensure stable heat delivery while enhancing efficiency and sustainability.
