CHP Bausch + Lomb Energy Centre.


The 3.3MWe MWM TCG 2032 V12 engine


to confidently demonstrate that the company has the necessary capabilities and infrastruc- ture in place to support the CHP over its lifecycle. The contract included the supply, installation


and maintenance of the 3.3MWe MWM TCG 2032 V12 engine, which is rated at 1000 rpm and world renowned for achieving high efficiencies and reliability. The scope also included the construction of


a purpose built energy centre which houses the TCG 2032 engine, associated ancillary plant and separate waste heat steam boiler room.


Within the energy centre, and at the request


of B+L, a dedicated viewing platform was installed allowing site visitors to see the running engine without entering the engine room to learn more about the benefits of CHP. Onsite, the CHP plant generates electricity at 10.5kV and interfaces directly into the sites MV ring providing power to office buildings, manufacturing process, R&D facilities, and warehouse units. Steam is generated by passing the exhaust gases at over 400 degrees Celsius from the engine through the Exhaust Gas Heat Recovery Steam Boiler and is also used on-site. The low grade hot water recovered from the engine jacket water is also used and distributed throughout the factory and used for process and space heating. The commercial value of the project


exceeded €3.3million and has a calculated return on investment of 3.4 years. Edina will maintain the CHP plant over a 5


year Service and Maintenance contract providing routine maintenance and break- down response support. Scheduled major service overhauls will


take place at 20,000 and 40,000 run hours with minor service interventions occurring every 4,000 run hours.


Plant Room


The CHP plant will be remotely monitored


24/7 by Edina via its SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, which will automatically detect and alert Edina’s service desk of any issues on-site. As part of the service and maintenance


agreement contract, the availability runtime of the engine is 95% (or 8,322 hours) per annum.


Operational since May 2016, the CHP plant


is currently running at 97.2% availability and has increased CO2 savings in excess of 6,750 tonnes per annum. Based on the data available, the CHP plant


has exceeded expectations and will save B+L an additional €93,500 per annum, reducing the return on investment by four months to 3.1 years.


Angelo Conti, Vice President of


Manufacturing, B+L, said: “Some years ago, B+L developed and launched a plan to identify and improve its environmental and social impacts. “This included adopting a broad sustain


-ability policy for the business, centred on understanding not only the needs of our patients and customers, but also environmen- tal, employee and community needs. “This approach has resulted in a substantial reduction in our environmental impact and sig- nificant energy cost savings. B+L Waterford has taken the ethos of this plan to heart and has dramatically demonstrated what is possible in terms of reducing the impact of manufacturing on the environment.” The project concept, detailed design and


project management was conducted in-house by B+L and Edina, and was completed within schedule and budget. Creativity and innovation have been key


aspect sof this project between both parties in terms of the bespoke CHP building, efficient heat recovery steam generator including economiser, metering requirements, controls

systems applied and the integration into the current campus infrastructure. Colin McKibbin, Sales Manager, Edina,


said: “We were absolutely delighted to win this prestigious and extremely high profile contract, once again highlighting our position as market leaders supplying CHP plant installations across Ireland and the UK. “Having full in-house design, as well as a


large project management resource and an after-sales service team, was critical to winning this contract. Seeing it developing from conceptual design to the stunning finished plant room that we now see has been a privilege”. Energy costs represent a significant portion


of a business’s standard operating cost. In . In reducing these and adopting CHP technology, these cost savings can be re-invested back into the business to support R&D, innovation, growth, leading towards a more cost competi- tive, environmentally friendly and socially responsible future.
