Various secondary fuel gases, sometimes referred to as process off-gases, are generated during steel manufacturing. These gases possess calorific value that supports both the economic and environmental competitiveness of modern steel production. Coke Oven Gas (COG) is a by-product of the coking process in steel plants. It contains high levels of hydrogen along with significant amounts of dust and corrosive contaminants. These waste streams are captured and treated before combustion in gas turbines to reduce the quantities of H?S, tars, BTX, and dust. Beyond certain thresholds, contaminants must be removed to maintain gas turbine availability. Solar provides technical specifications regarding gas quality, which can offer guidance for contaminant removal. Over the years, Solar's experience has led to significant improvements in permissible contaminant levels, aligning with alternative technologies.

The world relies on Solar Turbines for reliable, clean power. As individuals, companies, and governments migrate more data from on-premises storage to hybrid, cloud, and colocation data centers, Solar provides solutions that meet customer needs in this critical and growing market. With rapid start-up, fuel flexibility, and low emissions, the Solar Centaur 40 gas turbine meets the energy demands of data centers through features including: a total engine start-to-full-load time of less than 45 seconds from a cold start; acceptance of 100% load steps without compromising power quality; the ability to switch instantly between diesel and natural gas fuels to reduce emissions while meeting uptime requirements; compatibility with renewable and hydrogen fuel blends; and NOx emissions below 15 ppmv (parts per million by volume), reducing permitting challenges.

Solar Turbines' modular industrial gas turbines, fueled by natural gas or hydrogen-rich gases, can be integrated with combined heat and power (CHP) systems to significantly enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. A key benefit of the gas turbine solution is the ability to utilize steam independently or in blended forms as refinery output fluctuates and various gas producers/consumers come online or go offline. Compared to alternative solutions, this capability enables customers to reduce flaring and improve thermal efficiency while fully leveraging the value of low-emission combined cycle or CHP configurations. CHP utilizing waste gas combustion replaces existing onsite or imported thermal and power generation at a plant, typically reducing the facility's Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Solar's capabilities and reference projects are unique in the downstream market at this power level, covering gases with BTU content ranging from very low to very high, including carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen-rich gases.

The pulp and paper industry requires significant amounts of energy in the form of electricity, hot air, and steam. Solar's advanced energy solutions for the pulp and paper sector utilize gas turbine-based cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP), to reduce customers' carbon footprint and energy consumption. The implementation of cogeneration (CHP) facilities can substantially decrease both the carbon footprint and energy usage in pulp and paper production processes.

Solar provides power solutions that meet the needs of the commercial sector. Some of our commercial customers have achieved such significant savings that they were able to recoup the entire initial investment in their new Solar solution within just a few years. Over 1,500 Solar customers have switched to combined heat and power (CHP)/cogeneration to save money and reduce their carbon footprint. These commercial clients have not only lowered their plant operating costs but have also advanced their sustainability goals through CHP.

Power Generation: Meets rapidly growing electricity demand. Environmental Protection: Captures and utilizes previously wasted steam to minimize carbon footprint. CHP Resilience: Provides robustness against power outages and storm-induced disruptions. Cost Reduction: Delivers electricity at a lower cost.

Our power generation products are widely installed across various facilities, including colleges and universities, hospitals, government institutions, as well as rural electric cooperatives. In combined heat and power (CHP) or combined cycle configurations, our gas turbine generator packages can achieve thermal efficiencies of 80% or higher by recovering heat from the turbine exhaust to generate steam, preheat combustion air, or provide hot air for heating or cooling.

Solar employs a cogeneration solution centered on gas turbines, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). Solar's CHP application for the ceramics industry utilizes exhaust heat from the gas turbine in ceramic spray dryers, introducing high-quality thermal energy into the drying process. A gas turbine connected to the spray dryer can increase process efficiency from 27-32% to 75-90%, saving both electricity and fuel costs for the ceramics industry. Cogeneration in ceramic applications provides independent power generation and heat supply simultaneously.
