Manufacturing Industry
Energy consumption is substantial in manufacturing facilities, especially in industrial operations that run shifts where machines operate continuously, including nights and weekends. These conditions are ideal for implementing combined heat and energy production stemming from the consistently high energy demands covering electricity and thermal energy.
Optimizing Energy Solutions: Cogeneration in Manufacturing
Creating New Opportunities Through Enhanced Efficiency
The success of cogeneration technology lies in its exceptional efficiency, with up to 98% of primary energy effectively utilized. This not only enhances the environmental footprint by saving more energy during production but may also contribute to positive public perception and an increase in the intrinsic value of the final product.
Chemical & Pharmaceutical Enterprises
In today's industrial landscape, advanced technologies play a crucial role in governing the manufacturing processes of the chemical and pharmaceutical sector. 2G's combined heat and power systems not only supply all essential forms of energy, including electricity, hot water, steam, and cool air, but also meet the companies' need for immediate energy availability.
Manufacturers of Animal Feed
Energy costs can account for up to 15% of the total expenses in feed production. A significant portion of these costs is due to cleaning processes, various processing stages requiring different temperatures, and the essential maintenance of cold chains. The varied energy requirements and high operational intensity of installations create ideal conditions for the implementation of combined heat and power systems.
Synthetic Materials Manufacturing
The processing of synthetic materials generates heat through activities like drilling and milling, consuming a substantial amount of energy. Consistent cooling is essential to prevent quality degradation and excessive material wear caused by overheating. Integrating an absorption cooler with a 2G CHP system proves to be both cost-efficient and effective in supplying the necessary energy for cooling.
Paper Manufacturing
As one of the initial products under public scrutiny, the paper industry relies on heat and steam for production. Given these requirements, investing in cogeneration is particularly advantageous for the paper industry. This approach not only enhances the environmental balance but also reduces energy costs.
Metal Industry
Metal processing involves a remarkable array of high-energy-demand machines, from milling machines to electroplating equipment. A uniquely designed combined heat and power system by 2G caters precisely to these operations' energy needs and even facilitates specific applications with thermal oil.
Good planning is half the battle
For a successful investment, the right planning of the cogeneration system is essential. With the right degree of utilization, the investment will be amortized within a few years and can therefore sustainably increase the company's competitiveness.
This self-produced energy also shelters you from the impact of rising energy prices and used as emergency power generator the system can uphold production during power outages.
