Generator Efficiency Improvement For A Recycling Plant
The client had three 500kVA diesel generators operating two large recycling machines.
The Challenge
Johnson & Phillips was approached to assist with implementing a new HV supply. This application will take 18 months, so in the meantime, we provided a fast return and cost-saving option across the generators.
The Solution
Johnson & Phillips have the technology to improve the efficiency of generators. This technology was applied to their diesel generators. We also have the capability to apply it to the following: CHP units, gas generators, hybrid generators, diesel farms, wind farms, oil and gas, mining and anaerobic digestion plants.
The Results
Generator 1 was off-hired. Generator 2 had a 30% fuel improvement and ran off the hired generator load. Generator 3 decreased by 60%, and the alternative saved 50% on fuel.
Key Benefits:
- Improved alternator usage and sizing.
- Fuel reduction.
- Very short return on investment.
- Patent pending technology – it is unique to Johnson & Phillips.
