Total service solution

Finning Power Systems has supplied a combined heat and power (CHP) solution for the various site processes at Janssen Pharmaceuticals.

Due to increasing energy bills, Janssen wanted a CHP solution where electricity can be generated directly on site. Heat produced as a by-product can then be used to produce steam and low temperature hot water (LTHW) for its various site processes.

Featuring a containerised Caterpillar G3512E gas engine with an electrical output of 1.0MWe, the solution includes an exhaust gas boiler producing up to 625kg/h of steam and an LTHW recovery system generating up to 569kWt. The generator is designed to operate 24/7, 365 days a year, and is the prime source of power for the facility.

The scope of the project included supply and installation of a purposebuilt boiler house, as well as a transformer to step up power from 400V to 11kV. The installation was designed to allow interfacing with the site's existing high voltage (HV) ring infrastructure.

In addition to the CHP system design, supply and installation, Finning carried out commissioning and testing, and will continue to provide ongoing support.
