Turbines

Install a Microturbine
  • It has an electric conversion of 25-30%, but with heat recovery it has an efficiency of 65-70%.
  • They have low emissions and are easy to get permits for
  • A microturbine can generate 30-250 kW of electricity
  • They require a fuel pressure of over 50 psig
Install a Gas Turbine
  • A facility that is over 3,000 kW and uses digester and landfill fuel would benefit from a gas turbine
  • Electricity conversion efficiency is 30-38%, but with heat recovery it has an efficiency of 70-80%.
  •  They require a fuel pressure of over 200 psig

Engine and Fuel

Install Internal Combustion Engines
  • They produce low amount of NOX emissions
  • The electric conversion is 25-30%, but after heat recovery it is 70-80%
  • Requires a fuel pressure of less than 2 psig
Convert to Power Cells for Power Generation
  • Capable of producing energy without combustion
  • Highly efficient and produce emissions that are negligible
  • The electric conversion is 35-50%, but after heat recovery it is 70-80%
Install Sterling Engines
  • New technoogy that is being created for wastewater cogeneration
  • Work similar to a boiler where it is reciprocating engines with external combustion
  • Low production of emissions
  • Requires a fuel pressure of less than 1 psig
