Work over the last month involves a micro heat exchanger and energy as a service turbine.
Capstone Green Energy Corporation announced that its southern United States dealer, Lone Star Power Solutions, secured a contract with a West Texas energy company for an additional C800S Signature Series microturbine. This follows a 3.6 MW energy-as-a-service (EaaS) contract earlier this year.
Darren Jamison, Capstone Green Energy President and Chief Executive Officer, stated that both new and existing customers continue to appreciate their EaaS rental offerings. He noted that they are witnessing repeat orders from core sectors like oil and gas.
The West Texas energy producer will utilize microturbines to power production loads using gas generated on-site during daily operations. Capstone's EaaS solution was chosen for its reliability, low-emission profile, and the inclusion of fixed operating costs in the rental agreement.
“We continue to see demand for biogas installations globally and Capstone is extremely pleased with our new network partner Alfa Laval, a leading supplier of products and solutions for heat transfer, separation, and fluid heating with a unique product lineup,” said Darren Jamison, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Capstone Green Energy. “Customers are seeking out these innovative energy solutions because they help manage costs, reduce emissions and support predictable operations.”
Micro Heat Exchanger Integration
E-Finity Distributed Generation, Capstone Green Energy's distributor in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern United States, and the Caribbean, has received an order for a Capstone C600 biogas microturbine. This system will be combined with an Alfa Laval Micro heat exchanger.
“We continue to see demand for biogas installations globally, and Capstone is extremely pleased with our new network partner Alfa Laval, a leading supplier of products and solutions for heat transfer, separation, and fluid heating with a unique product lineup,” Jamison said. “Customers are seeking out these innovative energy solutions because they help manage costs, reduce emissions and support predictable operations.”
The waste heat from the C600S microturbine will be directed into an Alfa Laval heat exchanger, increasing the thermal oil temperature in the biogas process by 40%. The E-Finity m-TIM PLC Controller will manage and operate the system, enhancing CHP output and lowering energy expenses.
“This biogas CHP system is part of a new approach to transforming manure into energy, eliminating site odor, pollution, and emissions while reducing energy demand needed for the process,” said Jeff Beiter, President and Chief Executive Officer of E-Finity Distributed Generation.
