In a follow-up project, the long-established Mannheim-based company MWM recently received an order for another gas genset. The customer is Helsinki Water, an enterprise of Finland's capital Helsinki that looks back on 130 years of experience and expertise in wastewater management.
The supplied engine of the TCG 2020 series with twelve cylinders delivers an electrical output of approximately 1,000 kWel, with an efficiency of 41.3%.
The central wastewater treatment plant Viikinmäki for the city Helsinki and adjacent communities was commissioned back in 1994 with four engines from MWM, three gas engines and one gas/diesel engine. The plant processes the wastewater of about 780,000 inhabitants (accounts for 85% of the volume) and of industrial plants (15%), which adds up to 3.53 billion cubic feet a year. The fermentation in the purification process generates about 353 million cubit feet of sewage gas a year, which is used for the generation of electrical and thermal energy, covering 100% of the plant's need for heat and about 50% of the power needs. So far, the MWM gensets have been producing 16 GWh of eco-friendly electricity and about 26 GWh of eco-friendly heat a year.
The on-site implementation of the project was taken care of by the Finnish company Sarlin, with which MWM has already been working successfully for quite some time. This partner is also responsible for the handling of the ongoing maintenance agreements. In 2008, the two companies jointly won all tenders in Finland.

Centrax have won an order to supply Oil and Gas company, Wintershall Holding AG, with a CX501-KB7 generator set.
Wintershall are a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF. The company has been active in the exploration and production of oil and gas for more than 75 years. It is now Germany's largest producer of crude oil and natural gas.
The generator set will be installed in the steam production plant of the Wintershall oilfield Emlichheim which is located in North West Germany close to the Dutch border.
The KB7 DLE package had to meet strict NACE oil and gas standards and will produce 5.2 MW of electricity for the site, with the exhaust ducted to a waste heat recovery boiler to generate high pressure steam. The steam is injected underground to help reduce the viscosity of the oil to aid the oil extraction process.
The crude oil in Emlichheim is very viscous and firmly embedded in the rock pores and to extract it, steam flooding technology is used. During this process, steam with a temperature of approximately 300 degrees, is forced underground at a pressure of approximately 100 bar. The crude oil in the porous rock becomes warm and less viscous and is easier to pump to the surface.
Wintershall have been harnessing steam flooding technology in Emlichheim for more than 25 years and has thus continuously maintained the high production level of about 140,000 tons of crude oil per year.
The Centrax package will be installed and running towards the end of 2009 .
Wärtsilä officially opened its Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) in Vaasa, Finland. The MTC is a new concept for Wärtsilä, and is aimed at securing and further developing its manufacturing competencies, and sharing manufacturing know-how throughout the global Wärtsilä network.
The MTC concept will enhance Wärtsilä’s ability to effectively develop and globally share its core manufacturing competencies, including machining, forging, casting, welding, production & assembly automation, and digital manufacturing technologies. This will produce value-adding benefits by supporting component design, and manufacturing and supplier development. It will also optimise Wärtsilä’s efforts towards “first time right” quality, “as promised” delivery times, and competitive costs.
In addition to modern machine tools and teaching facilities, the new 600 m2 centre will house three faculties for training, test part manufacturing & design analysis, and method & tool testing. MTC is located adjacent to the Wärtsilä factory in the Vaasa city centre. It is envisioned that dedicated training of some 50 courses per year will be held at the centre, for maximum 12 persons per course.
By providing the latest manufacturing technology knowledge for increased competence in design for manufacturing, supplier development, and component manufacturing, Wärtsilä will have a state-of-the-art platform to meet future market demands.
Diesel Generators Company Ltd has secured a contract for the supply of 18 P2000 and four P250H generator sets.
The generator sets will be used to supply power to a water pump plant as part of a major irrigation project in Sudan.
The installation of the generator sets included 18 Woodward GCP31 set mounted control panels to manage the load sharing of the installation. An innovative solution to cool the generator sets was introduced by pumping water from the Nile through a heat exchanger into a reservoir, filtered and then drawn through the generator set by an electric pump. The area to be irrigated with the two pump stations is nearly 50 acres.
Diesel Generators Company Ltd was established in Khartoum in 1998. Three further offices have since been opened up throughout the city including one with a dedicated parts warehouse and training facilities. Diesel Generators Company Ltd provides FG Wilson standard product and are specialists in the field of power solutions.
By successfully delivering a high quality service with a reliable product, they have become a preferred supplier of diesel generator sets.
The power plant was designed on the base of FG Wilson PG1250B gas engine power unit and is equipped with waste heat recovery system. Packaging of the power plant was accomplished by A.D.D. Engineering. Power unit capacity is 1 MW of electric and 1.22 MW of thermal power.
The power unit is designed on the base of Perkins 4016-E61TRS engine and Leroy-Somer LL8124P generator. The delivery of the power equipment, commissioning and start-up was fulfilled by Ramtex company, FG Wilson dealer in Byelorussia.
GE Energy and Swedish wind developer Arise Windpower AB today announced that GE’s most advanced ecomagination-certified wind turbine technology will make its Nordic debut in Sweden, a country with the highest renewable energy target in the European Union. The move further enhances GE’s global expansion of its 2.5xl wind turbine platform.
GE will supply a total of 57 2.5xl wind turbines to Arise Windpower. The first five wind turbines are already on order and will be installed at the Brunsmo project near Karlskrona in southern Sweden.
GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt and Arise Windpower Chairman Pehr G. Gyllenhammar officially signed a memorandum of understanding for the frame agreement that includes the remaining 52 wind turbines. GE is part of Arise Windpower’s strategy to have 300 large-scale wind turbines in operation by 2014. According to Arise Windpower, the turbines will produce two terawatthours of electricity annually—an amount that is equal to today’s total wind power production in Sweden.
The Karlskrona-Brunsmo project and the frame agreement support Sweden’s goal to have 50% of its energy coming from renewable sources by the year 2020. To achieve this goal, Sweden must increase its supply of renewable energy by about 10% over the next 11 years.
While this project marks the debut of GE’s 2.5xl wind turbines in the Nordic region, more than 100 of the 2.5-MW machines already have been installed across Europe and have compiled more than one million operating hours. In addition, GE has received more than one gigawatt of commitments over the next year and a half to provide 2.5xl wind turbines for projects across Europe.
Two FG Wilson PG345B gas engine power units were delivered by President-Neva, Energy Center, Ltd. Volga region subsidiary. The customer for the project is Gazprom Transgaz Kazan Ltd. Each power unit is designed on the base of Perkins 4006TESI engines and Leroy-Somer LL6014B generators. The power plant is equipped with waste heat recovery system.
