A bit off the recent topic, but the following link is from the company (Kaishan Group, china) that did the ORC project at Sinopec Hainan branch/island in 2014 as an alternative solution due to the delay of Kalina project by then Wasabi & SSNE (as mentioned in the quoted post).
The link below shows some features of this ORC project and a photo of this plant ( screenshot from their case study brochure in chinese)
Sinopec Hainan Oil Refining and Chemical Hot Water Application
Sinopec Hainan Oil Refining and Chemical is the first application in the world – two ORC plant working in series with the hot water as the heat source. They supply of hot water flow rate is 200 t/h with 118℃ temperature. The installation output of first part is 1,300 kW. It can generate 4.63 kWh per ton water under ambient temperature 24.9℃, and the net power generation is up to 70%.
