Capstone Microturbines to Convert Biogas Into Heat and Power for Irvine Water Recycling Plant
March 04 2015 - 8:30AM
Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com)
(Nasdaq:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of
microturbine energy systems, announced today that it received an
order to upgrade the Irvine Ranch Water District's Michelson Water
Recycling Plant in Irvine, California with five C200 microturbines.
Regatta Solutions Inc., Capstone's distributor in California,
secured the order, which is expected to be commissioned in early
2016. Once commissioned, the microturbines will cleanly and
effectively operate on the biogas, or "green waste", produced
on-site from municipal solid waste.
Capstone microturbines will be installed in a grid connect
configuration to provide electricity to the recycling plant in
parallel with the local utility. The site will include a biogas
conditioning skid to compress the plant's biogas for use in the
microturbine engines. The microturbines are deployed in a combined
heat and power (CHP) configuration. The exhaust from the
microturbines will be captured using heat exchangers to provide hot
water for process heating the plant, thus reducing the need for
natural gas and providing the highest system efficiency
possible.
The Irvine Ranch Water District serves Central Orange County
under the provisions of the State of California Water Code. The
district provides high-quality drinking water, reliable wastewater
collection and treatment, recycled water programs, and
environment-friendly urban runoff treatment.
The Irvine Ranch Water District chose Capstone microturbines
over reciprocating engines for their ability to meet local building
and air emissions requirements as well as their proven field
experience and service support. Capstone microturbines also meet
SCAQMD BACT emissions levels that allow for a streamlined air
emissions permitting process.
"Capstone microturbines offer redundancy and the ability to be
sequenced to load follow automatically based on gas availability
and the electrical loads at the site," said Jim Crouse, Executive
Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Capstone Turbine. "With
Capstone microturbines, businesses are able to reduce operational
expenditures while simultaneously helping their local community,"
added Crouse.
