Genesal Energy generator sets designed to run at full capacity in the Qatari desert

When a Generator set is manufactured to work in places with unusual environmental conditions, it is essential that they are highly customized.

At Genesal Energy our equipment is designed in such a way that they are capable of operating in extreme conditions and at temperatures above 40 ºC. They are made-to-measure generator sets designed by our engineers after having carefully studied the environmental conditions in which they must operate.

One of our latest projects has taken place in a Middle Eastern country: Qatar. The Qatari authorities asked us to design several trailer mounted generators for a contingency energy fleet.

With a very hot climate and high humidity levels, Qatari summers easily exceed 45ºC. Therefore, the generating sets that have to operate in these circumstances must be custom designed. In this case, the client needed the equipment to have a great autonomy and that could easily transfer fuel from an external tank. They also needed them to be located in different areas by means of a trailer which must be suitable to drive along the desert sand.

Dust filters

In custom manufacturing, everything is designed in detail. Furthermore, the containers were manufactured considering the environmental conditions, including a customized tank, transfer system and external fuel connection point, as well as dust filters to prevent the entry of sand as they had to work in the middle of the desert.

Features

  • Engine and alternator sized to give the required power at the design temperature.
  • Sand filters.
  • Made-to-measure fuel tank.
  • Fuel transfer system and external fuel connection point.

We supplied emergency power to a maritime LPG terminal in Chile

Emergency power to a new maritime liquefied petroleum gas in Chile.

At Genesal Energy we have just supplied emergency power to a new maritime LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) in Chile through a generator set designed to guarantee the continuity of the electricity supply in this facility.

Generator sets are essential in port infrastructures since continuity in the electrical supply is required for lighting the facility and for the uninterrupted operation of most the equipment and chargers. The lack of energy during the unloading of a ship can pose a great safety risk that is multiplied when we talk about this type of gas installations. Therefore, in these cases, it is essential to count on an alternative source of electrical energy in addition to prolonging discharge times.

What did our customer need?

The customer needed a solution with specific soundproofing conditions, special levels of interior lighting in accordance with port regulations, an interior fuel tank and a fuel transfer system for an external tank, as well as a controller for parallel operation with the mains and even another generator set if necessary.

The design of the generator also has a steel floor, with a liquid collection tray, exhaust system with built-in spark arrestor to avoid risks of explosion, PMG of the alternator and many other options that make this equipment a generator set fully adapted to the client’s specific needs.

Features

  • Power output panel integrated in the soundproof container.
  • Recirculation and engine cooling heating system to provide the proper temperature when the generator starts.
  • Exhaust system with spark arrestor integrated inside the container.
  • Anti-skid steel floor.
  • Marine impregnation in the alternator and PMG.
  • Surface treatment of the container according to ISO 12944, in C5 finish.
