BCUA CHP Cogeneration
•Provides 90% of the electric energy consumed
by BCUA Water Pollution Control Facility
•CoGen engines use 60/40 mixture of biogas and
natural gas
•Biogas Production from digesters is 260,000
therms
•CoGen system anticipated to produce 21,870,000
kWh of electricity and 7,500 MMBtu of recovered
heat for the digester process
•Significant reduction in air emissions
contributing to Green House Gas and ground
level ozone formation
BCUA CHP CogenerationCogeneration-Savings
• Electricity is largest cost for BCUA at almost $2.75
million, followed by natural gas at $1.5 million
• 1st year savings of $400,000 in electric/natural gas
purchase and cost avoidance of $2.0 million from
biogas usage
• Projected savings over 25 year life is approximately
$26 million
BCUA CHP CogenerationCogeneration-Design
•Uses two GE Jenbacher JMS 420 GS-L.L model biogas
engine generator sets with emission control and heat
recovery equipment
•Natural gas is used as backup source of fuel
•Engine high temperature jacket water and exhaust heat
is recovered to provide 5 MMBtu/hr per engine to the
WWTP hot water system
•Designed with gas scrubbers to protect downstream
equipment from moisture
•Carbon filtration system for removal of siloxanes
