Generators for biogas fuelled CHP plant
W
hen SCHNELL began work on a biogas plant in Rodewald, Germany, they turned to Cummins Generator Technologies to supply STAMFORD HC4
generators. The power plant was commissioned by a consortium,

Erneuerbare Energien GmbH & Co, featuring ten farmers from local surrounding villages. The plant consists of four dual fuel 265 kW generating sets running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week providing dependable continuous power. Agricultural matter is used to fuel the plant: 40 per cent animal slurry and 60 per cent
fermented biomass consisting of corn, rye and grass, among others. This project is an example of a CHP plant; in addition to
producing electricity to sell to the public grid, energy typically wasted is captured and used to heat the SCHNELL company building and a commercial greenhouse nearby, home to a family-run horticulture business. The generating sets reach industry leading electrical efficiencies of 47 per cent. l

Better compensation for longer useful lives

herever strong forces act in industrial machinery and equipment, only part of the energy applied contributes directly to the product manufacturing process. The rest acts on the machinery and equipment itself, either in the form of mechanical forces such as movements and vibrations or varying pressure conditions or in the form of aggressive media or extreme temperatures. Expansion joints reduce these loads and, as a result, extend not only the useful life of machinery and equipment but also the maintenance intervals, ie they guarantee smooth and thus economic processes. Plant manufacturers like to opt for quality rather than cheap solutions where large sums of money are in the final instance involved. This explains why expansion joints from Frenzelit are used so frequently at these crucial interfaces in machinery and equipment manufacturing. l
