The Challenge
Rapid replacement of aging gas generator
A leading European contract manufacturer of high-quality fine chemicals required a replacement gas generator after its previous model broke down.
The setup in place comprised a 20-year-old combined heat and power (CHP) system, with a major heat recovery boiler and four 1 MW reciprocating gas generators.
When one of the generators broke down, the company looked at its options and decided against rebuilding the aging unit and opted for a new generator.
A rapid solution was required to avoid losses incurred via interrupted production – which is where we got involved.
