SolarSteam Inc. careers

The technology that SolarSteam will use is called Enclosed Trough, which is a system specifically designed for the oil industry and its unique requirements. Enclosed Trough technology encloses lightweight mirrors in a agricultural greenhouse, concentrating the sun’s energy to heat water and create steam. The steam is then injected into an oil reservoir to aid the extraction of heavy crude. Enclosed troughs integrate readily with existing oilfield operations, accepting the same feed water as once-through steam generators (OTSGs) and generating nominally 80% dry and between 500-1000 PSI. SolarSteam will build its systems based on a 5 hectare, 25MWt standard block system that can be scaled to any capacity.
