Standby protection for production lines and process equipment, or prime power where the grid is weak.
The right generator set depends less on the industry than on the duty cycle: how often it runs, how much load it carries and how quickly it must take over. The eight sectors below cover the projects we quote most often on diesel, followed by the gas applications we build for.
We size the set from the load list, then select the enclosure and control system that match the site.

Standby protection for production lines and process equipment, or prime power where the grid is weak.

Emergency power for operating theatres, ICU and life-support equipment with fast automatic changeover.

N+1 standby for data halls, base stations and edge sites, with remote monitoring and alarms.

Backup power for hotels, offices and shopping centres, keeping lifts, pumps and lighting running.

Power for airports, ports, toll stations and rail facilities where outages affect operations directly.

Prime power for site offices, camps, crushers and dewatering, on trailer chassis where the site moves.

Standby sets for residential towers and mixed-use developments, sized for lifts, pumps and emergency lighting.

Mobile power vehicles and trailer sets for utilities, public events and disaster recovery.
A gas set is chosen when the fuel is already on site and the load runs for thousands of hours a year. These are the projects where the fuel cost saving pays for the equipment.

Digester gas from livestock slurry, food waste and crop residues, turning a disposal cost into electricity and heat.

Landfill gas and sewage gas engines with the desulphurisation and dehydration needed to keep them running for years.

Process residues and wastewater converted on site, with the CHP package supplying the hot water and steam the plant already needs.

Base-load gas engines with heat recovery feeding district networks, greenhouses, hotels and industrial parks.
Containerised gas modules for landfills, digesters, wastewater plants and industrial parks, delivered as a complete package with gas conditioning and heat recovery.
See the gas rangeThe duty cycle changes the rating, the cooling package and the maintenance interval. Diesel sets are normally specified for standby or prime duty, gas sets for continuous base load. Tell us how the set will run and we size it accordingly.
For mains failure only, with a limited number of running hours per year and no overload capability. The most common choice for buildings, hospitals and data centres.
For sites without a reliable grid, running continuously with a 10% overload allowance for one hour in twelve. Typical for construction, mining and rental fleets.
For base-load operation at a constant rating with no overload allowance, such as district power or remote industrial plants.

For hospitals, data halls and process plants the set is judged on the first ten seconds after a mains failure, not on the day it is installed. We build these projects with automatic mains failure panels, battery chargers and block heaters so the unit is always ready to accept load.

When there is no grid to fall back on, the generator set becomes the power station. Trailer and vehicle-mounted units are built with larger fuel tanks, heavier air filtration and easier access for servicing in the field.
