The Iraqi Ministry of Oil awarded Shell (lead operator), Petronas and Missan a 20-year contract to provide technical assistance in the development of the Majnoon field in 2010. Majnoon is one of the largest oil fields in the world, with an estimated 38 billion STOMP (stock tank oil initially in place). The Majnoon Project, also known as the Tigres Project, consists of a two-phase development: ...
Project Demonstrates High Potential for CHP in Food Processing Industry . Frito-Lay North America, Inc., a division of PepsiCo, installed a combined heat and power (CHP) system at its food processing plant in Killingly, Connecticut, in 2009. The installation was supported by a state grant under Connecticut's Energy Independence Act, which encouraged businesses and government agencies to install ...
The Pastore Power House is the primary elecrical provider for the facilities operated by the State of Rhode Island in the city of Providence. When in island mode, the Power House is 100% self-sufficient. The Power House provides reliable energy and a stable electrical grid in addition to heat recovery steam generation (HRSG). The facility utilizes one Centaur 40 gas turbine generator set with ...
What size solar system would be ideal for my home? And more importantly, the solar inverter size? We want to assure you that you are not alone in this dilemma. Every second person struggles to find the perfect solar inverter for their home After all, the inverter is the heart of your solar system; it converts the DC electricity produced by panels into usable AC for home and business. So, it ...
Located in Boca Chica, a municipality of Santo Domingo, this project was initiated by the government of the Dominican Republic to address the increased need for on-demand peaking and emergency energy. This 190 MWe open cycle thermoelectric power plant consists of ten Power Generation Modules, PGM 130, powered by the Titan 130, and two Titan 250 gas turbine generator sets operating on natural gas, ...
Aqua Power, an independent power producer, needed to quickly replace expensive diesel power for Dangote Cement, the largest cement production plant in Tanzania. The cement plant was commissioned in 2015 and was forced to run on emergency diesel generators due to limited grid power (18 MW) and poor infrastructure (33KV, ...
Santa Cruz, California, enhancing sustainability and reducing operational costs: Solar Thermal System: This system comprises 18 flat-plate solar thermal panels paired with a 1,200-gallon storage tank, supplying domestic hot water to meet the needs of hotel guests and ...
Maktinta completed a comprehensive energy retrofit for student housing in Cotati, CA, a facility serving UC Sonoma students. The project aimed to significantly reduce the building's CO2 footprint by integrating both solar thermal and solar PV systems. The advanced solar thermal installation efficiently provides domestic hot water to the building, while the 50 kWp solar PV system actively reduces ...
This 2,560-square-foot off-grid commercial solar installation in California is a prime example of renewable energy solutions for factories and businesses looking for self-sufficient solar energy systems. Constructed from eight 40-foot container boxes, the facility is designed for versatility and sustainability, featuring a 720-square-foot medical lab, a full kitchen, showers, office space, a ...
Everything You Need to Design, Install, and Maintain a Reliable Off‑Grid Energy Solution In an era defined by energy independence and resilience, off‑grid power systems have become more accessible—and essential—than ever before. ...
In an era defined by climate urgency and mounting energy demands, lithium‑ion batteries have emerged as a linchpin technology—bridging the gap between intermittent renewables and reliable power access. From remote villages to sprawling urban centers, these versatile storage systems underpin electric vehicles, stabilize electrical grids, and facilitate ...
How to choose: If you need strong surge capacity or simple, proven transformer isolation (e.g., off-grid with heavy motor loads), a low-frequency inverter may be advantageous despite extra weight. ...
Optimize your off-grid or backup power setup with practical sizing guidance As solar installations become more accessible and homeowners seek energy independence, one question often arises: “How many solar panels will reliably recharge my 48 V lithium battery bank?” Whether you’re powering an ...
Battery Discharge Mode: When solar output drops below load demand (evening or cloudy days), the system automatically draws from the battery. Grid Outage Mode: The backup panel disconnects from the grid and draws exclusively from battery power. ...
Overhead cranes are indispensable in industries where heavy lifting is required, such as manufacturing, construction, and logistics. These cranes are designed to handle large loads, such as machinery, steel beams, containers, and other heavy materials. One common challenge in operating overhead cranes, especially those with high lifting capacities such as the 50-ton cranes, is the amount of ...
Hydraulic pumps play a crucial role in various industries, enabling the conversion of mechanical energy into hydraulic energy to power equipment for tasks such as lifting, pushing, and moving heavy loads. ...
The global focus on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions has spurred a paradigm shift in industries worldwide. Among the most notable changes is the move toward electrification in container handling equipment, particularly Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) cranes. As ports and terminals seek greener, more efficient operations, electrified RTG cranes are emerging as a cornerstone of this ...
The rise in electricity costs and the push toward renewable energy have sparked an increasing interest in solar power in Pakistan.
