The PureCycle power system, developed by Pratt & Whitney Power Systems, is a 280 kilowatt (kW) pre-engineered onsite power generation system that harnesses waste heat in the form of hot water, low-pressure steam or thermal oil to generate electricity.

The sale of the PureCycle power system will allow the Gympie Timber Company to utilise their own resources to produce energy for their Australian hardwood product supply business in a cost-effective manner.

The Gympie Timber Company will connect the PureCycle power system to an existing thermal oil system used to heat their timber drying kilns. Excess sawmill residue will be used to create the additional heat required for the unit. As a result of the installation, the site will become a net exporter of electricity, and significantly reduce its maximum demand on the electricity network.
