Cogeneration Systems
Electrical & Thermal Energy
Cogeneration or combined heat and power is the use of a heat engine or power plant to generate electricity combined with heat recovery from the exhaust gases to provide useful heat for an associated industrial process. Cogeneration prioritises energy efficiency and renewable energy.
Uneek Energy Solutions and our partners have extensive experience in development of more than 60 cogeneration facilities worldwide totalling 150MW capacity.
These types of projects have been developed with clients across a diverse range of sectors:
Ceramic
Chemical
Lumber
Water purification
Beverage
Cardboard manufacturing
Food processing
Remote Sites Power Generation
Fuels used in these systems depend upon the local availability and costs of fuel which has ranged from natural gas, biogas, diesel to biomass.
Combustion systems employed have included internal combustion engines, gas turbines and boilers.
Each project needs to be carefully designed to match the needs of the specific installation to maximise the benefits to the business versus costs.
