LATEST GLOBAL ENERGY NEWS CONVENTIONAL ENERGY GE’s gas engine and biosolids technology selected for new UK ‘Eco Park’ Waste-to-Biogas Project GE has announced that global engineering and construction company M+W group has selected its Jenbacher gas engines and Monsal advanced anaerobic digestion system for Surrey County Council’s new Eco Park waste treatment and biogas-toenergy facility being built by Suez Recycling and Recovery U.K. in Shepperton, Surrey, England. The two low-NOx gas engines are being provided by Clarke Energy, GE’s authorized distributor of Jenbacher gas engines. The Eco Park’s anaerobic digestion facility will process 40,000 tonnes of food waste annually from households in Surrey. Supported by a waste infrastructure grant from the U.K. government, it will be located adjacent to an existing community recycling center, about 8 kilometers from London Heathrow Airport. With GE’s Monsal anaerobic digestion system, the new facility will convert the food waste into biogas that can generate renewable electricity and heat. The biogas produced will be used to fuel two of GE’s Jenbacher J416 biogas engines, which are configured to generate up to 50 percent of the common limit for NOx and will provide a total of 2.4 megawatts (MW) of electrical power. After powering itself, the Eco Park will supply energy to the national grid. The Eco Park is being built on behalf of Surrey County Council and will supply baseload renewable power to the local distribution network while at the same time providing an alternative to landfill in the form of anaerobic digestion. In addition to the anaerobic digestion and CHP plant, the Eco Park also includes a 55,000-tonnes-peryear gasification facility with pre-treatment, a recyclables bulking facility and a new visitors’ center. The gasification system will be installed separately and will process municipal waste into a partially renewable combustible gas (known as syngas) for additional power production. Rolls-Royce showcases electricity generating sets at Power-Gen Europe From 21 to 23 June 2016, Rolls-Royce will be showcasing its portfolio of power generation solutions at the Power-Gen Europe Exhibition in Milan (Stand 3HD97). Products from Rolls-Royce and MTU Onsite Energy include high-speed and mediumspeed diesel and gas gensets ranging from 24 to 9,400 kWe. The brand MTU Onsite Energy is part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. Matthias Vogel, Vice President Power Generation at Rolls-Royce Power Systems said: “At Power-Gen 2016, we will be showcasing our entire range of high-speed and medium-speed gas and diesel gensets, which we supply from a single source and deliver worldwide from our regional centres. Our advanced products are designed to generate load-balancing energy and, due to their accredited capabilities, help to maintain the frequency and voltage stability of the grid. Using them, customers are able to make a valuable contribution to providing a reliable supply of energy and to the energy transition.” Rolls-Royce experts will be attending the Power-Gen conference to report on such topics as ‘Intelligent Load Balancing supports Grid Stability’ and ‘Requirements for Combined Heat and Power Systems demanded by the European Grid Code’. At Power-Gen Europe 2016, MTU Onsite Energy is presenting its product portfolio for high-speed gas engine systems up to 2,530 kWe and diesel gensets up to 3,250 kWe. The exhibition stand will include a model of a gas genset based on MTU Series 4000 engines. The heat and power generating systems produce 1,010 to 2,530 kWe and are available in 8, 12, 16 and 20 cylinder configurations. A model of a 20-foot container genset that has been included in the MTU Onsite Energy product portfolio since 2015 will also be on show. Based on the new generation of Series 2000 engines, the genset is fitted with a common rail injection system. The Series 2000 engines are designed to cover an output range of up to 1,120 kWe for standby power and deliver up to 1,000 kWe prime and continuous power. As a result of its modular design, the 20- foot container genset can be used in a wide variety of applications. 26 energética INTERNATIONAL · Nº 158 · JUN/JUL16
