Sludge can be a valuable energy source, reports Scottish Water

Finning has installed a backup power system for a data centre expansion project in the UK. The company won the contract to supply standby diesel gensets for the 2nd phase of a data centre designed and development by Ark’s at a new site in


iWiltshire. The contract with principal contractor, the JCA Group, included supply, installation & commissioning of two Cat C18 700 kVA generators, two fuel tanks, control system and integrated systems testing. The gensets are configured in an N+1 arrangement where,

plant and biogas and, at various points in 2017, helped the facility to run completely independently from the grid, Veolia said. The Seafield WwTW processes around 300 million litres of wastewater per day. Plant operators have targeted energy self-sufficiency and, in the process, have already reduced the facility’s energy costs by 50%, Veolia said. In partnership with Scottish Water, Veolia said it has introduced a wide range of measures to derive renewable energy from sludge. Measures installed to date include a thermal hydrolysis process that has increased biogas production by around 10%, investment in an additional CHP unit to provide greater energy generation and to take advantage of the additional biogas, and a further 3 per cent increase in biogas yield. John Abraham, COO for Water at Veolia, tells UKPN: “Recent estimates indicate that the water industry could be self-sustaining for electricity by harnessing the 11 billion litre annual flow of waste water. Our application of technology to this process demonstrates how we can help deliver greater sustainability for the industry using waste water-to-energy systems, and also meet water industry carbon reduction targets. “In this way we can make a significant contribution towards delivering renewable energy targets, while keeping the lights on and taking pressure from the National Grid.”

Four new generator sets released with power outputs ranging from 20kVA to 63kVA ­ Doosan’s latest generators will now be available in both 50Hz and 60Hz configurations


D


oosan Portable Power has launched a new range of four generators from 20-60kVA, available in both 50Hz and 60Hz versions. Beyond construction and rental, the new


generators extend the Doosan portfolio to a wider audience to cover applications such as home standby, telecommunications and backup power for small businesses. The four new generators – G20, G30, G45 and G60 – provide prime power outputs of 20, 30,


45 and 63kVA, respectively, and all four units are available as open units (XF) or sound attenuated versions (XW). The equivalent 60Hz versions are also available in a range of voltages between 220V and 480V (Phase to Phase). Gaby Rhayem, a Doosan Infracore International director, said: “With their Tier 2 engines,


these generators have been tailored for the region. Two years ago, we launched units with outputs ranging from 80kVA to 750kVA. Today, our family is getting bigger. “Doosan’s latest generators will cater to the biggest market segment,” he continued. “The


20kVA to 63kVA range accounts for approximately 70% of generator demand in the MENA region. We’re talking about big volumes. It’s a very competitive segment within a very competitive market, but it’s important for Doosan to be there.” Doosan’s G20, G30, G45, and G60 units boast power outputs of 20kVA, 30kVA, 45kVA, and


63kVA, respectively. All four models are available in either open-unit (XF) or sound-attenuated (XW) formats. Rhayem says that Doosan’s distributors and customers have been requesting generators


with smaller outputs for some time. “Our customers and dealers have been pushing for us to bring this range to the market,” he explained. “Our existing line-up – the 80kVA to 750kVA models – cover approximately 25% of regional generator demand. Then you have the 1MW-plus units, which account for approximately 5% of the market. “Before, a customer might have required a 20kVA unit, a 60kVA unit, an 80kVA unit, and a


100kVA unit. We were not able to bid on these types of tender. Today, we are very happy because our range starts at 20kVA and goes all the way up to 750kVA. Doosan Portable Power now covers the vast majority of the generator market.”
