A
leading supplier, installer and maintenance provider for combined heat and power (CHP), gas and diesel power generation solutions,
the Edina Group, has won a contract to supply and install a 1.2MWe CHP plant at one of Ireland’s largest, and world leading suppliers of ingredients for the food, bever- ages and pharmaceutical industries. Following a competitive tender process, the
client awarded the Edina Group the contract to supply and install the MWM manufactured TCG 2020 V12 reciprocating gas engine as part of the client’s energy and sustainability strategy. Edina is the official distributor in UK and
Ireland for MWM manufactured gas engines. MWM is world-renowned for providing market -leading electrical and thermal efficiencies, low operating and servicing costs and high reliability and availability, which is usually well in excess of 95%. The 1.2MWe gas engine will be container- ised within an acoustic attenuated enclosure
at Edina’s manufacturing facility based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, and will be delivered to site as a ‘plug & play’ unit, thus further reducing the installation time onsite and associated project costs. The containerised CHP plant will be
installed at the client’s global production centre for the manufacturing of yeast-based flavour ingredients, located in Menstrie, Scotland, and will be housed within an existing energy centre. The exhaust waste heat and hot water from
the engine jacket cooling circuit will be recovered from the CHP process and fed into the site’s current manufacturing facility and infrastructure. Electricity is generated at 400V and stepped up to 11000V and interfaced into the MV ring. The high efficient use of primary energy in the CHP of 86.9% ensures energy costs and greenhouse emissions are reduced. Edina’s Head of Sales in Ireland, Colin McKibbin, comments: “As an existing

customer, and with Edina having a complete understanding of the clients energy and sustainability requirements, we were able to offer a bespoke solution which exceeded their specification, thus maximising the site’s return on their investment. “The CHP installation will reduce onsite
energy costs, carbon emission and improve business competitiveness, and also maintain security of power supply in the event of a power outage.” Edina has successfully installed CHP
across the food and drink industry with projects at Arla Foods, Gilfresh Produce, Keelings, R&R Ice Cream and Guy & Wright, to name but a few, and forms part of its growing portfolio of over 500MWe installed gas capacity in the UK and Ireland. Through the application of CHP, businesses
can significantly reduce their electricity grid importation and self-generate electricity and heat to power their infrastructure. This, in turn, helps to reduce energy costs, support sustain- ability initiatives through carbon reduction, and also improves competitiveness and maintains power security at sites.
