Gas engine and distributed energy illustration

Gas engine generator sets

Gas engine generator sets
& combined heat and power

Generator sets and auxiliary systems are configured around fuel composition, load profile, grid conditions, heat demand and environmental constraints.

Fuel-led selection

Confirm fuel quality
Then define the unit and systems

Selection considers composition, heating-value variation, impurities, ambient temperature, altitude, operating hours and heat demand alongside rated output. Parameters require gas analysis and project verification.

01

Natural gas

Continuous and peaking operation for industrial parks, distributed generation, standby power and CHP/CCHP.

02

Biogas & landfill gas

Define cleaning, pressure regulation and engine suitability from composition, moisture, sulphur compounds and heating value.

03

Coalbed methane & associated gas

Coordinate gas treatment, control strategies and generator packages for variable heating values and impurities.

04

Special gases

Fuel analysis, suitability screening and technical assessment for coke-oven gas, syngas and other special fuels.
