COGEN

Turnkey cogeneration plant

Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat.

The combined production can significantly increase the efficient use of fossil fuel up to 80% or more. This results in lower costs for the supply of fossil fuel in comparison with the separate production of electricity and heat; it also produces reduced emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases. The power plants have a low efficiency and only 40-50% of the heat energy contained in fossil fuels is transformed into electricity, while the remaining amount is lost to the environment without any use. In some cases, however, that residual heat can be employed in the industry, such as steam, or may be utilized into civilian uses such as heating of buildings.

It is important to note that the combined production depends on the possibility of using heat in the vicinity of the same production; in fact, heat transmission over long distances is technically prohibitive, primarily because of high dissipation that would occur during the transmission. For this reason, the CHP usually arise near thermal users. If the heat is produced at relatively low temperatures, it will be suitable for residential uses such as space heating or district heating, and the fluid is almost always water. If the heat is produced at higher temperature and pressure, it will be used to produce steam in industrial processes. In some cases, the steam is used in production department, while low-temperature waste heat is used for offices heating. Termogamma manufactures turnkey cogeneration plants, sized according to the specific needs of users.

UPDATE May 2010: Termogamma has exceeded 2.5MW of installed power in cogeneration and trigeneration systems. Please request a quotation. Fill in the form of data collection and send it by fax or by email: You will have a feasibility analysis in a short time.
