Industrial Cogeneration
Industrial sites are well-suited for cogeneration; globally, more than 80% of total electric cogeneration capacity is at industrial sites. Because industrial processes typically demand a constant and consistent supply of electricity and heat, it is possible to optimize the cogeneration facility to meet your process needs while also lowering your operating and maintenance cost.
Why Industrial Cogeneration Matters
Cogeneration systems — also known as combined heat and power (CHP) systems — help you reduce life cycle costs and provide greater reliability and resiliency. These systems are most effective in facilities with the balanced electrical and thermal loads often found in chemical, oil and gas, healthcare, and heavy industrial manufacturing settings. They also can be an effective option for mining operations, which depend on reliable, on-demand power 24/7.
Changes in this field have been fast and frequent. Our team draws on deep experience and unparalleled understanding of power generation systems as it designs, builds, permits and interconnects the facilities you need for an efficient and economical power supply. We also develop utility master plans that set the stage for long-term operating cost efficiencies and risk mitigation.
The Burns & McDonnell Advantage
Fully integrated processes are key to successful implementation on projects as complex as industrial cogeneration. We provide comprehensive in-house services, allowing projects to flow seamlessly from one stage to the next while maintaining effective communications with all stakeholders throughout the process. This maximizes your project’s benefits in terms of efficiency, stability, sustainability and value.
