Enexor - Model PTE-200 - Bio-CHP System
Fuel: Plastics, Power Rating: 75 kW, CHP Efficiency: up to 88%, Hot Water Output: 125 kWth (60°C or 80°C), Voltage: 400-480 VAC, Frequency: 50/60 Hz, Interconnect: UL1741 Certified, Dimensions: 8 ft. (2.43m) x 8.5 ft. (2.59m) x 20 ft, (6.06m).
Any combination of organics, plastics or Enex-Fuel™ are inserted into the Bio-CHP™ chute using a speed controlled augured feed system.
The organics are thermally oxidized in a reactor vessel under a high pressure and high temperatures. These oxidation conditions ensure complete breakdown of the organics, while avoiding the formation of significant thermal NOx compounds typically associated with high temperature fossil fuel combustion.
The resulting hot gasses are channeled through a particulate separation system to remove inorganic particulates from the gas stream. These non-hazardous, inorganics are removed pneumatically and stored for future disposal.
The clean, hot exhaust gas stream moves through a high-temperature heat exchanger and heats up pressurized pre-heated ambient air.
The highly-pressurized air then advances from the heat exchanger into a high-efficiency microturbine to generate power.
The reduced-temperature combustion exhaust gas passes through a heat exchanger to generate hot water or steam, or route processed heat to an absorption chiller to generate chilled water.
Organic Waste
Enexor’s Bio-CHP™ system is unmatched in organic feedstock flexibility.
The carbon neutral technology is fueled by a proprietary and unique mix called Enex-Fuel™, which typically includes (but is not limited to) a combination of agro-waste, food waste, wood waste, biosolids, paper, and cardboard.
Plastics
The majority of plastics can be used as a fuel source for the Bio-CHP™ system. Uniquely, these plastics do not have to be separated by color or classification.
While some plastics are recycled, far too many are not — and end up buried in landfills or littered where they can end up in delicate marine ecosystems. Plastics are created primarily from energy feedstocks, typically natural gas or oil (in the United States, mostly natural gas). Plastic is made up of hydrocarbons which are essentially a form of stored energy. As a result, the vast majority of plastics can can be turned into clean energy with a Bio-CHP™ system.
Economic Benefits
Our Bio-CHP™ provides significant cost savings by reducing organic waste disposal expenses and landfill tipping fees, in addition to reducing expensive fossil fuel produced power and thermal energy costs.
Enexor will partner with select customers to offer an Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) contract — a unique contract agreement that provides users with immediate cost savings alongside minimal capital outlay.
Benefits for the Environment
By diverting organic waste and unrecyclable plastics from open dumps, landfills and our oceans, the Bio-CHP™ helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions on two critical fronts.
First, less waste in landfills means considerably reduced methane emissions. And, second, Bio-CHP™ systems offset CO2 emissions because they use a carbon-neutral fuel source by design and nullify the need for waste disposal transportation fuel – with one system capable of offsetting up to 2,200 tons of CO2 annually.
Thermal Energy
“Waste” heat from the Bio-CHP™ system is fed through a high-temperature heat exchanger to produce hot water or steam, replacing fossil fuel use for onsite boilers.
The waste heat can also be used for process heat or fed into an absorption chiller to generate chilled water.
Onsite usage of this waste heat boosts the overall efficiency of the Bio-CHP™ system to 88%, translating into immediate cost savings and greenhouse gas reduction.
24/7 Power
Our innovative Bio-CHP™ units provide controlled 24/7 continuous renewable energy power. Uniquely, it also integrates well with intermittent renewable energy sources, like wind and solar systems.
As the system is conveniently automated and continuous, it can be left unattended. If you are connected to the grid and the grid goes down, your Bio-CHP™ system will provide emergency power making it a perfect alternative to traditional back-up power solutions.
Fast Installation
Each Bio-CHP™ system comes pre-packaged, ready to be installed and commissioned in just one day.
Site preparation and site logistics coordination is straightforward. Customers are only required to provide laydown area access with a concrete pad, plus install power and water interconnect access.
Enexor’s team will develop a custom installation schedule, streamlined for interconnection permitting requirements per local utility authority’s having jurisdiction (AHJ’s), if required.
Scalable Power
Enexor’s modular Bio-CHP™ system is scalable and can provide 75kW to multi-MW of power. Multi-unit installations are managed with microgrid control software to provide seamless power generation operation.
Fully Automated
The Enexor Bio-CHP™ is controlled by a state-of-the-art controller system enabling full automation. The systems are remotely monitored from Enexor’s global headquarters to ensure seamless operation and facilitate real-time maintenance.
Customers can easily monitor system performance through our proprietary cloud-based Enexor management portal.
Off-Grid (Island Mode)
Bio-CHP™ systems are fitted with a battery storage system that enables black-start, grid-independent operation.
These systems can operate off-grid (island mode) providing critical power in any type of emergency situations.
Resilient Power
The Bio-CHP™ system is designed to operate within the humid and salty environments that characterize island nations, and can also withstand hurricane force winds. These durable units can be easily relocated to meet the changing needs of military operations and other mission-critical facilities.
All-Inclusive Service Plan
All Bio-CHP™ systems are protected by a comprehensive service plan for the contracted life of the unit. This service plan approach is unique within the industry, and allows our customers to define their own cost of ownership through the lifespan of their modular unit.
