COGEN (Cogeneration) – Sometimes referred to CHP (Combined Heat and Power) – is the use of a heat engine or a power station to simultaneously generate both electricity and useful heat.

COGEN Applicability

Typical Company profiles are those who have the need for heat (and hot water, or steam) on the spot and want to combine this with the local production of electrical power. Excess of electrical power can also be fed into the public grid where applicable.

EVOLION’s Services

Evolion performs feasibility studies in support of Companies who are interested into COGEN (bio-gas) based renewable energy exploitation.

In addition, subsequent support / assistance can be provided to the Companies during their implementation/realisation steps. The steps and/or role Evolion usually fulfils can vary, subject to customer’s needs, from an advisory role for particular realisation steps, a project manager role, to a whole implementation (integration) contractor role.

Evolion has substantial experience in the food industry segment. The Small COGEN technology has a lot of potential in, and starts gaining attention by, many other industry segments as well where Evolion can support companies.

EVOLION’s Reference Samples (Snapshot)

Use Case:

The brewery site requires steam and electricity, and has loads of biogas as a result of its water cleaning process.

Evolion’s Services:

Based on an analysis of the brewery’s consumption profile about steam and electricity, a feasibility study was conducted last year

Implementation of a COGEN capability is expected during the course of 2012.

Use Case:

The site requires steam and electricity in support of its food production chains.

Evolion’s Services:

Based on an analysis of the brewery’s consumption profile about steam and electricity, a feasibility study was conducted.

Implementation of a COGEN capability is expected during the 2^nd half of 2011.
