Capstone Secures C600 Order From Sarlin Oy Ab for First C600 Landfill Project in Finland
July 31 2014 - 8:30AM
Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com)
(Nasdaq:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of
microturbine energy systems, announced today that it received its
first order for a Capstone C600 to be utilized in a landfill
project in Jyvaskyla, Finland.
Jyvaskylan Energia, a local energy company, sought a power
generation solution that could operate on the gas from its
landfill. In assessing their options, they required a low
maintenance option that could operate reliably in the cold harsh
environment. They also required a combined heat and power (CHP)
solution that could utilize the thermal energy from the exhaust to
provide district heating.
Located less than 600km from the Arctic Circle, Jyvaskylan
Energia needed a rugged and reliable power generation option with
proven operating experience in similar conditions. They also needed
the equipment to be modular so that it could be easily expanded in
the future to accommodate a growth in the output of gas from the
landfill. Additionally, they required equipment that could operate
on gas with low methane content. The Capstone C600 microturbine
provides the perfect solution.
The gas from the landfill is filtered and dried before entering
two large compressors that feed the C600 microturbine. The
electricity generated is sold directly to the utility. The thermal
exhaust energy is captured with an 850kW heat exchanger in a CHP
application for district heating.
Sarlin Oy Ab, Capstone's exclusive distributor in Finland,
engineered this full turnkey solution. The unmanned turbine plant
will be monitored and controlled 24/7 from the Jyvaskylan Energia
remote control room. The site is expected to be commissioned in the
Spring of 2015.
"Utilizing the Capstone microturbine in landfill gas solutions
demonstrates how we provide clean, reliable, and cost-effective
power generation solutions to the renewable energy market," stated
Jim Crouse, Capstone's Executive Vice President of Sales and
Marketing. "With this demonstrated success, an increasing number of
landfills across the world are turning to Capstone microturbines as
their preferred clean and green energy solution."
