CASE STUDY Biomass Pellet Plant Solution Dresser-Rand Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity This project is part of the new biomass pelletizing plant for Hijos De Tomas Martín in Doñasantos (Burgos), Spain. The company started out as a carpentry business in 1936. Today, the facility produces 450 to 500 tons of wood pellets each day. Incorporating additional process machinery and labor has allowed the company to grow. The company is carrying out a number of research and development projects to expand the capabilities and various product lines further....

It maximizes natural gas resources for power (electricity and heat) production by: • Recovering heat from the exhaust gases and engine main circuit to produce hot air for the biomass pelletizing process • Recovering heat from the engine auxiliary circuit to eliminate natural gas consumption in the natural gas regasification boiler and to heat the plant’s offices The CHP module achieves an REE (electrical equivalent performance, according to Spanish standard RD661/07) greater than 80 percent in operation. Benefits • Reduces energy costs for pelletizing process • Revenue is generated by...

CASE STUDY Bringing Cogeneration to Chelyabinsk, Russia Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity Chelyabinsk, located in the Urals, is one of the most prosperous regions in modern Russia. With a population of more than 1,000,000, the city is a major hub for machine building, metallurgy, military machinery, manufacturing light industry, and food manufacturing. Grand Hotel VIDGOF, a five-star hotel in Chelyabinsk, is a 20-story building that occupies 30,000 square miles. Constructed with the use of modern technology, the hotel offers first-class suites, a fitness center, swimming pool...

Powered by the Guascor® SFGLD360 @ 1500rpm 50Hz natural gas engine (of 609 kWe of output), the exhaust recovery system provides: • Air conditioning: central air and central system ventilation • Automation: central building management system for LonWorks network platform • Security: around-the-clock security for the building, including video surveillance for all entrances and common areas, as well as access control to the complex. Benefits • Creates a reliable and efficient power and heating source • Reduces maintenance and operation costs • Minimizes energy costs • Brings growth and...

CASE STUDY CHP System Helps Reduce Energy Costs Dresser-Rand Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity IMolgas Energia, with headquarters in Madrid, Spain, transports LNG from receiving plants in Spain, Portugal, France, and Belgium. The LNG is delivered to regasification plants and to companies that need an economical, safe and sustainable way to get fuel. One client, Grainto SL in Portillo de Toldeo, Spain, processes animal by-products such as animal fat, bone, hide, feathers, and blood which are manufactured into commodities such as tallow, grease and...

• Recovering heat from the engine auxiliary circuit to avoid natural gas consumption in the LNG regasification boiler • Generating electricity that can be exported to the grid under the Spanish regulation for CHP plants. Benefits • Creates a reliable, efficient and clean power source • Saves energy because of the highly efficient CHP technology used • Employs robust, trustworthy equipment • Minimizes energy costs • Provides a reliable, long-lasting power supply • Generates additional revenue by selling electricity to the grid under the Spanish regulation for CHP plants The Business The...

CASE STUDY Tuscan Hospitals benefit from CHP units Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity By nature, hospitals are high energy consumers. The electricity powers the lightingand equipment of the facility; hot water for cleaning and other uses; steam for instrument sterilization and cleaning; and cooling for refrigeration, freezing and air conditioning systems. Four new government-financed hospital centers were developed in the Tuscania commune in the Lazio Region of Italy. Located in Prato, Pistoia, Massa, and Luca, these hospitals have between 500 to 800 beds each. The construction...

The Solution The projects are expected to minimize energy costs in these four hospitals using combined heat and power (CHP) units with hot water recovery at 85°C. For each of the hospitals of Pistoia, Lucca and Massa, Dresser-Rand® will deliver the CHP installation equipped with three Guascor® generator sets: one SFGLD360 model of 609 ekW and for the hospital in Prato, one SFGLD480 gen set, of 812 ekW, running at low emissions of 350mg/Nm3 of Nox in 40° with a cooling tower. These gen sets will supply energy for 5,500-6,000 hours/ year. Dresser-Rand will also provide standard and corrective...

CASE STUDY Cogeneration in Sao Paulo, Brazil Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity The west area of Sao Paulo state in Brazil is an important location for commerce and finance. Here, the Plaza Iguatemi Business Center sets the standard as a “triple-A,” fully automated commercial center with state-of-the-art equipment. It is the first commercial building in the area to achieve 100 percent of the required energy demand out of the public network supply. The 23-floor, 40,000 m² (0.0154 mi²) building includes many amenities, including: convention rooms, a restaurant, a fitness center...

The amount of installed power is greater than the current demand, allowing flexibility for future requirements should the demand for power increase. The system works in parallel to the grid, which provides additional security to the building. Benefits • Optimizes energy costs • Provides a more reliable power supply • Provides high overall efficiency using cogeneration The Business The Dresser-Rand business, part of Siemens Power and Gas (PG), offers some of the most efficient and environmentallyfriendly technology platforms, products and services in distributed power generation for oil and...
