HrimTron Energy was founded in 2022 by two engineers with a clear mandate to build advanced energy conversion systems through first-principles engineering and disciplined execution. The year focused on deep thermodynamic analysis, global technology benchmarking, and defining robust system architectures suited for real-world industrial operation—establishing a long-term foundation in precision engineering and industrial relevance.
In 2023, HrimTron transitioned from concept to structured experimentation, receiving early grant support and incubation at Venture Center, Pune. An initial ORC system was developed to validate thermal integration, working-fluid behaviour, and system controls, while parallel development of a high-speed turbomachinery platform laid the groundwork for compact, efficient, and scalable system design.
Early 2024 marked a major inflection point with seed investment from Social Alpha and incubation at FISE – AIC Social Alpha. During this phase, HrimTron designed and assembled a fully integrated 15 kWe ORC prototype, validating mechanical integration, start-up behaviour, and operational stability—transitioning the technology from subsystem validation to a functional power generation platform.
In 2025, HrimTron achieved platform maturity with an upgraded 25 kWe integrated ORC system, incorporating in-house power electronics, controls, and advanced turbomachinery. Long-duration endurance trials were initiated under the Social Alpha × MUFG Program, supported by CSR funding from Thoughtworks. The company also gained national and international recognition through TiE TGS 100, the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK) LIF Advance 2025, and Tata Social Enterprise Top 50—establishing HrimTron as a globally engaged deep-tech energy venture.
Pilot Validation & Commercial Deployment In 2026, HrimTron is focused on extended endurance validation to demonstrate long-term reliability, performance consistency, and maintenance behaviour. In parallel, the company is advancing pilot deployments at industrial sites, enabling early commercial orders and marking the transition from technology development to initial market deployment.

HrimTron exists to solve a problem hiding in plain sight: vast amounts of usable energy are discarded every day across industry, energy systems, and transport. From industrial processes and power generation to biomass plants, geothermal resources, marine engines, and cold energy streams, valuable thermal potential is routinely lost. We believe this waste is not inevitable it is a design failure.
We engineer high performance energy recovery systems that convert these losses into reliable, on-site power. Our work is grounded in first-principles engineering, disciplined system design, and a relentless focus on performance per unit cost because efficiency only matters when it can be deployed, maintained, and scaled in the real world.
At the heart of our solutions is a proprietary high speed turbomachinery platform, purpose-built for compact, modular energy recovery. This core technology enables high efficiency, durability, and cost competitiveness across diverse operating conditions, allowing HrimTron’s systems to adapt to different thermal sources while delivering predictable, industrial grade performance.
Our systems are designed to
From manufacturing and process industries to energy-intensive operations, our solutions turn thermal losses into dependable electricity reducing energy costs, improving resilience, and lowering emissions.
HrimTron’s proprietary high RPM turbomachinery platform is engineered to deliver significantly higher efficiency and power density than conventional low speed turbine systems. By operating at elevated rotational speeds, the platform achieves a more compact footprint, reduced mechanical complexity, and superior overall efficiency compared to traditional turbine architectures.
The platform is built around a high-performance turbine design, optimized through first-principles engineering. This enables direct integration with advanced power electronics while eliminating the need for bulky gearboxes. The result is lower mechanical losses, improved reliability, and simplified maintenance particularly critical in space and cost constrained industrial environments.
While this turbomachinery platform forms the core of HrimTron’s waste heat to power systems, its underlying architecture is inherently versatile. The same high RPM design principles can be applied across multiple applications, including waste heat recovery, high-speed turbopumps, and compressor systems, where compactness, efficiency, and dynamic performance are essential.
This is not a single machine but a scalable turbomachinery foundation designed to deliver consistent performance, adaptability, and best in class cost-performance across a wide range of thermal and mechanical energy conversion applications.
HrimTron is rooted in Indian engineering — a tradition defined by constraint-driven innovation, practical problem-solving, and value creation under real-world limits.
At the same time, we design with a global mindset. Our systems are benchmarked against international standards and engineered to compete on performance, reliability, and cost across markets. We work closely with industrial partners, researchers, and ecosystem stakeholders to ensure our solutions remain relevant, robust, and scalable worldwide.
Industry is under growing pressure to decarbonize, control energy costs, and improve resilience — without compromising productivity.
Waste-heat recovery sits at the intersection of these challenges. When done well, it reduces emissions, improves energy efficiency, and strengthens operational independence. When done poorly, it becomes an expensive afterthought.
Our role is to ensure it works — technically, economically, and at scale.
Behind the
journey
We believe progress should compound, not extract. That engineering should create value for customers while reducing the burden on the planet.
Our work is guided by a simple principle:
