Critical Operation & Maintenance
The environmental benefits of a CHP package are achieved because of its high levels of energy efficiency combined with the use of modern engines and turbines that can burn gaseous fuels far more cleanly than older equipment. However, the performance of any CHP package will only remain close to the initial level specified if it is monitored and maintained to the appropriate level. Failure to operate the CHP package correctly, and to maintain it effectively, will not only result in a loss of the expected cost savings: it will also reduce the environmental benefits that can be achieved.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is often reported in terms of mass of carbon (C).To convert from CO2to C multiply by 12/44.
