VAN NUYS, CA/ACCESSWIRE/August 13, 2020/Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (NASDAQ: CPST), the world’s leading manufacturer of blank technologies for microturbine power systems, announced today that it has won two consecutive orders by adding a C200S for a wastewater treatment plant and a C200R for a recreational water park in Poland. ASPAMET, Capstone’s exclusive distributor in Poland (www.aspamet.pl), has obtained orders, which are expected to enter service in early 2021.
“During our recent call for profit, I defined our six-point profit expansion strategy, which included an initiative to expand our global distribution business. In other words, we need to expand our distribution activities in untapped markets such as Eastern Europe and North Africa. parts of Asia and the Middle East, as those geographic spaces are a huge credit to us and are lately neglected,” said Darren Jamison, Capstone’s president and CEO. “ASPAMET has developed a smart portfolio of projects and I’m very happy to see those two main projects added to its list of successful sites that are helping to drive microturbine adoption in the region,” Jamison added.
The C200S microturbine, intended for a municipal water treatment and water treatment facility in the city of Misk Mazowiecki, will upgrade an aged piston engine. Once commissioned, the microturbine will work with biogas, or “organic waste”, produced on site from counterfeit municipal waste. The C200S microturbine will be deployed in a combined heat and power generation (CHP) configuration. The microturbine blank heat exhaust will be captured using heat exchangers and used for digester heating, hot water production and sludge preheating to assist the water recovery process, while providing maximum system efficiency.
Wastewater treatment plants are thought to be one of the largest energy consumers in cities and municipalities. Improving the energy power of wastewater treatment facilities can produce a variety of environmental and economic benefits, adding to reducing carbon emissions, reducing energy prices, and improving energy and water security.
Plant operators have selected Capstone Turbine’s state-of-the-art microturbine solution as a reliable source of reliable generation. In Poland, Capstone Turbine is known for several successful biogas-driven microturbine projects, adding a nearby waste disposal facility in Krakow. These regional site programs showed plant operators the maximum reliability and availability of Capstone microturbine generation in the field.
When an application for a low-pressure C200R herbal gas microturbine is ordered, it will be installed at a giant recreational water park with swimming pools, a preschool, a recreation facility, an ice rink and a go-kart track. Ultra-low exhaust emissions and relatively low noise levels of the C200R were of component interest to park operators, as a component of the facility will be used for a kindergarten classroom for the local community.
The C200 microturbine will serve as the main source of electrical power for the energy-intensive site and will be installed in a cogeneration application designed to meet all fundamental energy and heating needs. In addition to reliability and strength, the C200R has low emissions, low majortenance prices and a low carbon footprint.
Both sites have gained an EU incentive investment with a grant that supports energy-related projects that will leverage the environment through reducing greenhouse gas emissions, expanding the use of renewable energy or energy efficiency. The water park gained more investments from the Polish National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
“This investment will ensure some energy independence from the conversion of electricity prices. The environmental parameters of Capstone turbines have perfect compatibility with the character of the two amenities on site,” said Tomasz Bak, an electrical engineer at ASPAMET.
