Gas-fueled power generation systems from MTU Onsite Energy provide the same reliable power as our diesel systems. Gas systems, however, offer a fuel option that can reduce the costs and complexity of installation and maintenance.
Our gas-fueled systems work well as prime power, but are ideally suited for many standby applications. By using existing natural gas or LP gas supplies, these systems eliminate the need for on-site storage of liquid fuels.
Agencies overseeing fuel storage have long lists of requirements for storage sites, which may include:
- Fire suppression equipment
- Double-walled tanks with interstitial monitoring
- Bermed storage pads
- Enhanced security measures
In addition, LP and natural gasses burn cleanly, which extends engine life and reduces maintenance costs. Because there is no liquid fuel, there is no risk of fungal fuel growth.
MTU Onsite Energy combined heat and power (CHP) advantages:
- Efficient: Up to 40 % reduction in primary energy usage compared to conventional power plants
- Economical: Low total cost over the lifetime of the system
- Eco-friendly: Low emissions - up to 50 % less CO2 produced than conventional power plants
- Local energy production: No transmission losses
- Independent: Supply guarantee if local grids fail or are unreliable
