  • Biogas-powered engines generate up to 2 MW
  • Application in power generator sets and combined heat and power plants

Friedrichshafen/Augsburg, 11 November 2011. At the Agritechnica agricultural machinery exhibition in Hanover from 13 to 19 November, Tognum will be showcasing its mtu Onsite Energy brand (hall 20/booth 20F21) power generator sets and compact cogeneration modules powered by Series 400 and 4000 biogas-based engines in the power range 120 kW to 2 MW electric power and 160 kW to 2.6 MW thermal power.

Power generator sets and compact cogeneration modules powered by 6 and 12-cylinder Series 400 biogas engines cover the range 120 to 400 kW electric power and 160 to maximum 540 kW thermal power. They are available with rated speeds of 1,500 rpm and 1,800 rpm and are suitable for operation in 50 and 60-Hertz power grids. They comply with German TA Luft emissions regulations.

Series 4000 includes 8, 12, 16 and 20-cylinder biogas engines producing 772 kW to 2 MW of electric power and a maximum of 880 to 2.6 MW thermal power. The product range covers electric power generator sets and compact cogeneration modules for heat and power. Available options include peripherals such as exhaust scrubbers, series-tailored formaldehyde catalyzers, acoustic damping enclosures, emergency coolers and heat exchangers, exhaust silencers and numerous other products. The smaller models have been available since March of this year whilst the 16 and 20-cylinder versions are scheduled for the end of 2011. The biogas engines are based on the modular concept of the Series 4000 engine family which is designed for diesel as well as gas engines. With an electrical efficiency rate above 42 %, Series 4000 biogas engines achieve almost the same level as comparable natural gas engines. An optimized engine management system ensures that fluctuations in gas quality have no negative effects on either engine efficiency or service life. The system allows operation with biogas fuels with methane contents as low as only 45 %.
