A lack of technical infrastructures and rising prices for electrical power prompt industrial companies to decide in favour of producing their own power. Economic considerations, such as how to utilise the heat released in the industrial process, can also play a part here.
In this case, industrial companies as well as municipal energy suppliers maintain their own power-generators or combined heat and power plants (CHP), which provide the entire infrastructure of the industrial process with power and make the company virtually independent of the central energy supply network. Beside engine-based power plant, turbine based power plants bring along many benefits. Especially when it comes to the use and generation of steam turbines by MAN Diesel & Turbo can help gaining the maximum in every process.
