Heat recovery, compound
from a heat exchanger that
recover the heat produced by
the whole system, both from the 1st
intercooler stage, the cooling water
circuit, the 200C exhausted cooling
and the lubricating oil circuit.
Electric station which allows to use the
produced energy for its own
consumption and/or connect to the
national grid
Biomethane: the next step
The Biomethane is a gas derived from biogas that has
undergone a process of upgrading (refining and purification),
bringing the concentration of methane CH4 to exceed 98 %.
Field of application:
biofuel for motor vehicles
put into the national gas pipeline
transported and stored for
subsequent energy production
even in places far away from the
production site
The advantages of bio-methane:
programmable renewable energy
reducing the dependence on gas
importations
development of the local economy
environmental sustainability
closed circuit
contribute to reducing the gas
emissions (greenhouse effect)
maximum flexibility

ELECTRIC ENERGY
999 Kwh x 8400 h = 8,400,000 KWH/year
8,400,000 X 0.187X10-3 = 1571 TEP
(The conversion index of the electric energy
in primary energy is equal to 0,187 x 10-3 TEP).
THERMAL ENERGY
1082 Kw x 8000hours = 8,656,000 kWh/year
8,656,000 X 8,803 x 10-5 = 762 TEP
(The Rate of conversion of the heat energy in
primary energy is equal to 8,803 x 10-5 TEP).
Considering that an inhabitant consumes an
average of 5300 kWh/year of electric energy,
we can estimate that the plant can satisfy the
energy consumption of almost
3000 inhabitants.
CO2 EMISSIONS
In total, we have a production of approx. 17,056,000 kWh/year of electric and thermal energy.
The generated energy is equivalent to a saving of approx. 6437 Ton of CO2 / year (considering
1 kWh386,5 g. of CO2 as indicated by the International Energy Agency.
