06 ENGINE ROOM WINTER EDITION Landfill gas is a very cost-effective and reliable renewable base-load power source and EPSA and Caterpillar® can provide gas-fuelled engine generators that produce renewable fuel. With a big focus on renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions, landfill gas-to-energy projects are fast gaining momentum by using generators to turn waste into economically viable electricity – making landfill gas-to-energy power systems an important and growing application within the world’s power generation mix for the collection, process and treatment of this gas for use in generating electricity. TURNING WASTEINTO ECONOMICALLY-VIABLE ELECTRICITY THINK CAT® G3516 specifically designed for landfill gas To be economically viable, landfill gas power generation must produce electrical energy at a market competitive price and the Cat® G3516 delivers with the right mix of longevity and low maintenance operation. It maximises output and engine life simultaneously and is a traditional lean burn spark ignited engine that operates similarly to many vehicles. THINK CAT® K-SERIES LANDFILL COMPACTORS lowering your operating costs Cat® Landfill Compactors are designed with durability built in for maximum availability through multiple life cycles. With optimised performance and simplified serviceability, they allow more efficient and safe operation. Complementary Cat® Compaction Control provides real time 3D pass mapping guidance to the cab, helps eliminate voids, optimises cell space, documents results and provides detailed compaction analysis. THINK CAT® CG RANGE for a smarter energy solution The Cat® CG range is designed for maximum efficiency in extended-duty distributed generation and cogeneration applications. Already operating in 5,800 installations worldwide, the range uses the very latest gas engine technology with electrical outputs from 400kWe to 4,300kWe. The CG sets can operate on gases of varying quality, including natural gas, biogases such as landfill, digest- er and sewerage gas, coke gas and coal mine methane. THINK CAT® FINANCE landfill gas-to-energy and biogas project solutions Cat® Finance understands how to put capital to work in any regulatory environment with decades of experience developing unique financing packages for landfill developers, owners and managers. This includes total project financing, providing support for biogas projects large and small—from wastewater treatment plants to agricultural and industrial processing facilities. Cat® Finance streamlines the process to be up and running fast.
