Hardwood Factory heads towards Carbon Neutrality
Brief:
Green, prime power supply
This maker of hardwood flooring was looking to develop an environmental aspect to his production, and had applied for a Carbon Trust grant to help him. The client also had the means to produce his own biodiesel on site.
He approached us, interested in using renewable fuels to power his factory on a part time basis.
JS Power Solution:
Biodiesel generator and automatic timer switch
After receiving approval from the Carbon Trust, we supplied a 250kVA biodiesel generator. At this time, we had been using Scania components in biodiesel generators for two years, and had found Scania’s reputation for reliability well-founded. So we were happy to get our hands on Scania’s very first engine approved to run on 100% biodiesel.
Our trust was borne out completely. The system we provided our client will continue to generate prime power to the site with low impact to the environment. We also installed an automatic switch that sidelines the biodiesel generator overnight and brings it back on line in the morning.
Equipment:
- 1 × 250kVA Biodiesel generator
- 1 x Sound attenuating canopy – 85dBA @ 1m
- Automatic timing switch
