Secure power and heat supply

... thanks to storable liquid petroleum gas Switzerland wants to become less dependent on imported energy, especially Russian natural gas. To this end, the Federal Council recently discussed possible supplies of "Liquid Petroleum Gas", abbreviated LPG, with other countries. The fuel liquid petroleum gas (LPG), a mixture of propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10), has been known in Switzerland for some time.

Zweifel saves CO2...

Since 2016, a mini CHP plant has been producing valuable electricity from renewable energy for Zweifel, a Swiss producer of French fries, and reducing its CO2 footprint. The wastewater from production is treated in the company's own wastewater treatment plant and the biogas generated from fermentation in the anaerobic reactor is fed to the CHP unit as a high-quality fuel. The waste heat generated by the unit is fed into the

Emergency power for wastewater treatment plants thanks to BHKW
Emergency power for sewage treatment plants thanks to combined heat and power unit BHKW

Combined heat and power plants (CHP) with gas engines are state of the art at wastewater treatment plants. From the sewage gas (renewable energy), these proven systems generate electricity and heat for the wastewater treatment plants' own needs. The fuel input is utilized up to 100%. In the future, the use of the grid replacement function in case of a grid failure will play an important role Small wastewater treatment plants of municipalities or municipal associations have

Our service is an all-round carefree package

Combined heat and power units (CHP units) require maintenance and, in particular, good service support from the manufacturer or the contracted specialist partner. In this respect, the customer expects service not only for the gas engine unit, but for the entire plant, including the electrical control system and peripheral equipment. Every hour that the plant is at a standstill costs the operator money or deprives him of the profit from the service.

Mini CHP for the Swiss market

Publication Technical Article Combined heat and power (CHP) with mini-CHP units Small-scale CHP with mini-CHP units has made great technical progress. The efficiency of the aggregates could be clearly increased with simultaneous reduction of the exhaust gas emissions. In terms of operation and efficiency, fuel utilization is comparable to that of a modern gas boiler. In addition, however, a CHP unit also produces valuable electrical energy that can be used for the drive.
