New from power solutions company,
shentongroup, is a state-of-the-art
dual fuel waste to energy system
called Duplo. As well as being a
prime power source, Duplo can also
provide hot water via an optional
heat exchanger and be fitted with a
control system that enables excess
electricity to be exported to the
National Grid.

Duplo runs on standard diesel,
biodiesel, natural gas, biogas or a
combination of any of these using
the latest dual fuel technology.

Having multiple fuel sources not
only improves the generator’s
resilience for continuous operation
but is said to help reduce running
costs. Duplo reduces engine wear
and is said to produce lower
emissions than a normal diesel-only
system. It can cope well with
variations in gas quality and
pressure.

An option to provide hot water
via the Hexpac heat exchanger at the
same time as generating electricity
turns Duplo into a combined heat
and power (CHP) system. This
provides commercial or industrial
premises with the option of an
integrated approach to delivering
both prime power and hot water.

Duplo can also be fitted with a
control system that enables any
excess electricity to be exported to
the National Grid.
