ResultsOld System New System 1,530 kW of IC engines

Produced 80 kW /1000 CF

Lack of control of electric production Couldn’t load follow

Saved money but not as much as the turbines

Produced 80 Tons of NOx/CO/VOC

1,600 kW of microturbines

Produces 120 kW / 1000 CF

Has tighter control Can load follow

Generates an additional $40,000 in revenue

Produces <1 Ton of NOx/CO/VOC
