MGT Gas Turbine By MAN In Chinese CHP

MAN Diesel & Turbo will supply its MGT series gas turbine in a package for decentralized production of heat and power (CHP) for the customer ENN Ubiquitous Energy Network Technology Co. Ltd, a subsidiary of the ENN Group, one of the largest private energy companies in China. The turbine will produce approximately 6 MW of power and 12 MW of heat for an industrial zone in Huai’an (Jiangsu province) and is supplied in cooperation with Chinese company Guangdong Liyu New Energy Science & Technology Co. Ltd.
MAN said the compact turbine unit utilizes over 80% of the energy stored in the fuel through CHP technology. “This order from China for the MGT series emphasises how the energy production market is developing: there is an increased focus in the People’s Republic on emissions reduction and maximum efficiency in heat and power installations”, said Armin Haller, senior vice president at MAN Diesel & Turbo for the Sales & Contracts Industries Division.
As with previous projects undertaken by MAN Diesel & Turbo in China, the technology replaces an existing coal-fired installation. This is a further contribution to the Chinese government’s aim of lowering emissions significantly by producing energy through highly efficient, gas-powered installations, thus reducing negative impacts on the population and the environment.
“A particular feature of the project is the extremely short deadline, which we managed to meet by supplying a machine that was ready for immediate use”, said Nadège Laurent, project manager sales at MAN Diesel & Turbo. “The Chinese energy sector has a target of making further reductions in emissions by 2020. We see the customer’s short lead time as a positive indication of the urgency with which Chinese industry is pursuing these objectives.”
