Imergy Power Systems-Designer of High Performance Flow Batteries via Recycled Vanadium

Imergy Power Systems, which is known as the pioneer in the sector of advanced storage systems has recently achieved its fundamental milestone in energy storage. The company and its professionals have developed an exclusive procedure to design high-performance flow batteries in combination with recycled vanadium from various mining slag, fly ash, oil field sludge and several types of environmental waste. 

The achievement will lead to wide range of significant impacts over the growth various energy storage industries. Other manufacturers of vanadium flow batteries will go for building their devices by using virgin vanadium extracted from mines. With the inclusion of its exclusive research and development program and advanced system integration solutions, Imergy has succeeded to develop an innovative way to design flow batteries via vanadium at about 98 percent of purity level to harvest from various types of environmental waste places. 

Imergy Company has even expected to reduce its overall costs related to obtaining and processing of vanadium by choosing to extract the same from slag. In fact, vanadium is the major and active ingredients advent in different types of flow battery electrolytes by about 40 percent relative to competitors. Thus, by the application of this technology and other related developments, the company will become capable to reduce the overall cost of flow batteries from 500 dollars per kilowatt-hour (industrial benchmark) to about 300 dollars in one-kilowatt hour.

If this is not enough, flow batteries of the company comprise of low-grades of vanadium will also store relatively higher amount of energy in one kilogram as compared to any of the conventional flow batteries. In this way, such battery devices provide higher flexibility to cell phone operators, micro grid owners, developers of solar power plant and several other customers. Thus, commercial organization owners will avail huge capacity to manage outages, reduction in demand charges and curbing of peak power to huge extent as possible. 

According to the statement given by Bill Watkins, the CEO of Imergy Power Systems, “This is a win all the way around. We are taking industrial sludge and turning it into a source of clean energy. At the same time, we're lowering the cost and increasing the performance of energy storage, which is going to expand the market.” Power Eng
