A leading European contract manufacturer of high-quality fine chemicals, required a replacement gas generator after its previous model broke down.

The company was previously using a 20-year-old combined heat and power (CHP) system consisting of a major heat recovery boiler and four 1MW reciprocating gas generators. After one generator failed, the company decided it was not cost-effective to rebuild the ageing existing unit and instead opted for a new generator.

Aggreko was therefore asked to find a rapid solution to ensure the company’s pharmaceutical production processes would not be disrupted.
