2G is a CHP Expert The Company is focusing on clean and efficient Power Generation Technologies (Combined Heat & Power) for various Applications.
The Basic Concept Standard Biogas Plant Concept CHP transformer gas cleaning Producing Electricity and Fertilizer (Utilizing Thermal Energy to heat Digesters)
More Sophisticated Concept Upgrading to Biomethane CHP Biomethane LNG/CNG Producing Electricity, Fertilizer, and Biomethane (Utilizing Thermal Energy to heat Digesters)
The advanced Concept up to 5 Miles Producing Electricity, Fertilizer, and in Addition to Heating Digesters, Thermal Energy is utilized for District Heating. Biogas is distributed by Pipeline up to 10 Miles (16 Kilometers) and CHP s are positioned close to Energy Consumers. Electricity and Thermal Energy is utilized with highest Efficiency. Residential, Commercial, and Industrial Consumers
Utilizing all Thermal Energy In the Past, at almost all US Biogas Projects the available Thermal Energy Potential was neglected. Thermal Energy is one of the very important economic Drivers of successful Biogas Projects. Using it for Farm Houses, Stables, Facilities, and nearby Residential Areas is always highly recommended.
Project by OWS (Norma McDonald) Culver Duck Farms, Indiana. 100% Thermal Heat Utilization. A good Example of perfect Energy Utilization
Energy & CHP Efficiency Efficiency is of extreme Importance. Many Biogas Project Developers in the US often completely overlook the economic Impact of Fuel Consumption, as well as Electrical and Thermal Efficiency. Reducing Fuel Consumption, and generating more Electricity & Thermal Energy with less Biogas, is often the missing Piece of the Puzzle to increase the economic Viability of Biogas Projects.
Energy & CHP Efficiency Higher CHP System Efficiency allows you to downsize your overall Biogas Plant Investment in Case you are restricted in the Export of Electricity (Max Limits), or can t utilize all of the Thermal Energy. You produce the required and expected Energy with a smaller Biogas Plant allowing you to cut your Invest Budget. If you are not restricted, you generate additional Revenue with the same Size Biogas Plant and a smaller & more efficient CHP System. Efficiency has a significant Impact and is of extreme Importance to all successful Biogas Projects.
CHP Efficiency Highest Efficiency Lowest Fuel Consumption Biogas CHP Systems with IC Engine Technology genuinely designed for Biogas and incl. comprehensive CHP Control Technology Biogas Gensets with IC Engines configured for low BTU Gas with limited CHP Control Capability Gas Gensets with Natural Gas Engines, de-rated for low BTU Gas with only Genset Controls Microturbines Lowest Efficiency Highest Fuel Consumption
Electrical Efficiency Genuine Biogas CHP Systems 39% Average (up to 43%) Biogas Gensets conf. for low BTU Gas 34% Average 14% higher Fuel Consumption Gas Gensts de-rated for low BTU Gas 30% Average 29% higher Fuel Consumption Microturbines 28% Average 76% higher Fuel (Max 30%) Consumption 22% Max in Biogas Configuration at 50 F (lower with increasing Temp.) The additional Fuel Consumption of 14 to 76% per ekw/h generated, results in direct Losses and significantly impacts the overall Biogas Project Economy and reduces Profitability. Low Efficiency is burning your Money!!
Achievable System Efficiency Less Energy In More Energy Out
Sizing a Biogas CHP System Sizing the Biogas CHP System correctly is another Key to achieving high Efficiency. Oversizing a Biogas Cogeneration Plant automatically reduces Efficiency and increases operational Cost. High Efficiency Low Efficiency
What is a Gas Genset A Gas Genset is very often by mistake confused and mixed up with Biogas CHP Cogeneration Systems. Basically the Genset is nothing more than a simple Engine / Generator Combination on a Metal Skid and depending on the Scope of Supply it comes with a simple Generator Control Panel, a Circuit Breaker and sometimes with a Heat Exchanger.
A genuine Biogas CHP System A professional Biogas CHP Cogeneration & Energy Conversion System contains the entire Technology required to function most efficiently, and effectively. An advanced Biogas Engine is just one Component. Generally all genuine Biogas CHP Systems are modularized and designed as complete All-In-One and Plug & Play Package. This includes a closed Loop Heat Extraction Technology, Best Available Control Technology for Exhaust Emissions, sophisticated Electronics, and many other vital High Tech Components.
Project by MT Energie USA, New Hope Farm, Galt, California. BACT / SCR fully integrated. Example of fully integrated Emissions Control Ultra-Low Emissions
Example of fully integrated Emissions Control Ultra-Low Emissions Project by CLEAN WORLD PARTNERS, Biodigester Sacramento, California. BACT / SCR fully integrated. This Plant also upgrades Biogas to Vehicle Fuel. CHP to be installed in April 2013.
Biogas CHP System Controls The Heart of the Biogas CHP Cogeneration System is a comprehensive and very advanced Digital Control Technology monitored On-Line around the Clock.
Connecting a Biogas CHP System to the Grid Genuine All-In-One and Plug & Play Biogas CHP Modules can be connected very easily to the Grid. The entire Grid Paralleling Technology is an integral Part of the Systems Control.
Connecting a Biogas CHP System to the Grid Advanced Grid Interconnection Protection Relay Technology is 100% fully integrated into the Biogas CHP Cogeneration Module Controls. The Interconnection is also monitored 24/7 around the Clock.
Installing a Biogas CHP System inside a Building Installing a Biogas CHP Cogeneration System inside a Building is certainly possible. However, the inside-building installation is approx. 3 x more expensive compared with a premanufactured CHP Module. This Fact is often completely overlooked and we notice frequently that Project Engineers and Contractors miscalculated their Budgets, exceeding Cost by 300%. The Complexity of installing a Biogas CHP inside a Building is often underestimated.
A genuine Plug & Play Biogas CHP System The modular Solution is more Cost-effective and reduces technical Risk.
The Difference between a modified Standard Shipping Container and a real All-In-One CHP Module It is important to understand that a Genset in a modified Shipping Container is not a Biogas CHP Module.
A genuine Walk-In All-In-One Biogas CHP Module Professionally designed and purpose manufactured Biogas CHP Modules are especially made for this Application and are genuine Walk-In, very easy and convenient to service.
Larger & More Convenient to Service 9.8 (118 ) 3 m 9.8 (118 ) 3 m Enlarged Container Design 10 (118 ) 3 m wide, 10 (118 ) 3 m high available in various Length (depending on Engine Size and System Configuration) Large Floor-Space for easy Access, Movement, and comfortable Service & Maintenance.
CHP Plant Equipment All Included
Controls & Switchgear All Included Complete and highly advanced Controls & Switchgear included. Also includes Controls of all Ancillaries as well as the Gas Detector & Fire Warning System.
