Power and steam
for industry
A Qark One unit makes steam at about 285 °C, day and night. Most of it drives the turbine. Where a plant is designed for it, part of the steam can go straight to industry or to desalination.
Steam at about 285 °C, around the clock.
Industry runs on heat
Factories need heat as much as they need electricity, and in India most of that heat still comes from burning coal, oil and gas in boilers that run around the clock.
Steam at the temperatures Qark One works at can serve many of those processes directly: drying, cooking, evaporation, distillation and sterilisation. A reactor that does not stop to refuel can supply it as steadily as a boiler, without burning fuel or emitting carbon.
Where the steam can work
-
Chemicals and fertilisers
Many reaction, distillation and drying steps run on medium-pressure steam that a reactor can supply continuously.
-
Textiles
Dyeing, washing and finishing lines use steam all day, in clusters that today largely burn coal.
-
Pulp and paper
Cooking and drying paper are among the largest steady steam loads in industry.
-
Food and pharmaceuticals
Cooking, evaporation and sterilisation need clean, reliable steam at moderate temperatures.
-
Desalination
Thermal desalination turns low-pressure steam into fresh water for coastal cities and industry.
-
Data centres
Firm, carbon-free electricity around the clock, from a plant that does not depend on fuel deliveries.
Energy without running a reactor
Qark One is intended to supply electricity and steam under long-term agreements, so customers buy energy rather than becoming nuclear operators themselves.
If your site needs firm power, steam or water and you are planning for the 2030s, we would like to understand your load.
