Lagunero Alimentos Balanceados Simón Bolivar, an animal food manufacturer based in Torreon, Mexico, is now taking advantage of a 2G Energy Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system. The Project Developer, Intelimeter Renewable Energies, selected 2G Energy Inc. to provide the CHP system for this industrial application. The plant features a 400 ekW/h cogeneration plant fueled by natural gas, which operates continuously and also supplies 484 kW of thermal energy. The system provides a total efficiency of almost 90%, with an electrical efficiency of close to 40%.

The Cogeneration module was supplied in 2G's unique sound-attenuated container option, which minimized the CHP system floor space and allowed for easy access and operability. Installation time was reduced to only three days, followed by a very quick start-up. Natural Gas CHP systems are an excellent opportunity for manufacturing firms that consume large amounts of electrical and thermal energy. The CHP module was integrated into the existing food processing and manufacturing factory infrastructure. The owner is now enjoying significant cost savings, and this project demonstrates how easy it is for manufacturers and any type of industrial facility to reduce their energy expenses.
