Solar Turbines Incorporated (STI) applications
Why are utilities turning to Combined Heat and Power (CHP) / Cogeneration?
Higher reliability. Increased efficiency. Reduced costs. Solar offers power solutions that meet the needs of commercial industries. Some of our commercial industry clients saved so much that they were able to pay back the entire initial investment of their new Solar solution after just a few years. More than 1500 Solar customers have turned to Combined Heat and Power (CHP) / Cogeneration in order to save money and reduce their carbon footprint. Not only are these commercial customers cutting their plant operating costs, they are achieving sustainability targets with CHP.
Companies across the globe are setting carbon reduction goals to reduce GHG emissions. Displacing carbon intensive energy sources with hydrogen reduce the introduction of atmospheric CO2. The products of combustion of oxygen with any hydrocarbon produce CO2 in the reaction while hydrogen combustion only produces water. Increasing demands from many end users such as universities and larger industrial facilities provide further motivation for reducing carbon footprint, but still supplying reliable electricity and heat.
Solar Turbines can help your business with renewable electricity by converting waste to energy. Synthetic gas, or Syngas, consists primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Syngas is usually the product of gasification of coal, biomass or Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).
Solar Turbines has unique experience with steel gases with dozens of coke oven gas (COG) fired gas turbines packages in combined cycle or cogeneration plants installed from 2006, reaching more than 2 million operating hours in the first decade. The lessons learned from this experience, relating to the availability and reliability of the COG fleet, eventually validated the technical solution implemented for the Solar COG gas turbines packages.
Off-Gas Energy Recovery With Cogeneration For Refineries and Petrochemical Plants. In today’s world, refineries and petrochemical plants need to become integrated, energy efficient, and sustainable.
