Heat and Electric Power
Solutions |
|
Combined
Heat and Power (CHP)
systems use an engine-generator
(located on-site or near-site)
to produce electricity
and heat from a single fuel source.
Heat that
would
otherwise
be
wasted is recovered and used for producing steam,
hot water, heating buildings, or industrial process
heat.

To compete with electricity from the grid, a
CHP
system
must be highly efficient. CHP
systems
can achieve
efficiencies of the order of 85%, resulting in tremendous energy savings.
They
often pay for themselves in 2 to 4 years.
Further, if you
already own suitable standby
engine-generator(s), it can be readily incorporated in a CHP
system. One of the most attractive aspects of CHP is its
ability to offset demand charges. Demand charges are based
on the peak amount of energy that a facility uses. By running a CHP system
during peak periods, a facility can lower its demand charge
significantly. |

Electricity is provided
using one or more power generation
options, including internal
combustion engines, combustion
turbines, Microturbines,
steam turbines, or Fuel cells. The
power generation equipment may be
fired by natural gas, diesel, propane, or other
fuels. |

We design,
integrate, install, and sell systems/equipment for combined
heat
and power generation. We do not represent a single
manufacturer. We help our clients
select the best equipment for their application. Our goal is
to develop systems with the highest energy conversion
efficiency, reliability, and the return on investment. |
