.: Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
To the right is a complete
turn-key station for an arabian cleaning establishment in
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The station consists of six Caterpillar
930 kw generator sets. The controls were manufactured by Redco,
and designed by the staff at Bio-Gas Technologies.
Bio-Gas Technologies supplied
complete engineering and system integration and all material
components. The electricity being generated is 480 volts,
and is stepped up to 4,160 volts for distribution in a ring
feeder circuit throughout the compound.
The ring feeder circuit is
of a "fail safe design". It incorporates a communication
circuit to allow for automatic load shedding in the event
of a problem. It is one of the very few systems in the Kingdoms
that incorporates circuits to prevent a cascading type of
power failure.

.:Trelawny Parish, Jamaica
Bio-Gas built for Braco Cogeneration
Limited a 3.2 megawatt Cogeneration facility to serve the
entire energy needs of a newly constructed resort complex,
Braco Village Resorts. Services provided to the resort are
electricity, air conditioning, and hot water. Along with these
services the Cogeneration system also supplies 2 megawatts
of power to the Jamiaican Public Service Company under their
"Policy to Purchase Energy from Cogeneration and Renewable
Energy Resources".
Cogeneration makes good sense
when a particular site utilizes a considerable amount of electricity
and, more importantly, has an equally large thermal requirement
in the form of hot water, steam, and/or air conditioning.
A Cogeneration plant will decrease a site's need for energy
by as much as 45%. This is why Cogeneration for a hotel owner/operator
is so attractive. With a Cogeneration plant on their property,
it will enable their overall energy efficiency to reach upwards
of 80%.

.:Hail, Saudi Arabia (1988)
The photograph to the left shows a complete
6 MW power station for Hail Agricultural Development Company
farm. The system controls and equipment were designed by Bio-Gas
Technologies.
It was installed in 1988 and has operated
continuously since. Bio-Gas provided installtion assistance,
site start-up service, and operator training for the site
personnel. The power station provides power for the poultry
section of the farm as well as the slaughterhouse, refigeration,
employee compound, water and sewage plan requirements.
Bio-Gas contracted with local
contractors for the building, concrete, and the distribution
requirements. The station distributes power as far as 40 kilometers
from the plant. The switchgear utilizes state-of-the-art equipment,
and the plant has never had a blackout since its delivery
and startup.
