Generator Set for Chemical Plant

Genesal Energy knows that energy is the engine that drives industry, and we work to ensure that it never stops.

We believe that it is essential to design generating sets that provide solutions for different industrial sectors.

To guarantee operational continuity, energy security and the capacity to respond to any type of contingency, it is essential to have equipment that guarantees a constant supply of energy. We have designed and supplied a customised generator set for a chemical plant located in the Sabón Industrial Estate, Northern Spain, reinforcing its capacity to guarantee production and maintain its competitive advantage in a demanding market.

This chemical plant operates during all three shifts, making constant power availability a critical factor. Our engineering team designed a generator set that can work in parallel with the power grid, minimising the impact of possible power failures and eliminating the risk of the dreaded ‘zero-crossing’, which could stop the machines and cause time and productivity losses.

Considering that this factory is located in a marine environment, the equipment was designed with specific features to guarantee its durability and optimum performance, with a soundproofed canopy, a 700-litre tank for greater autonomy and C5M paint surface treatment in accordance with ISO12944 standards.

A marinised alternator has been also included, specially prepared for high salinity conditions, to which an advanced ComAp InteliGen4 200 control panel has been added, designed to manage operations in parallel with the grid.

A key service for competitiveness in the industrial sector

In a market where efficiency and operational continuity are crucial, having a backup generator set not only protects production processes, but is also a differentiating factor that ensures business competitiveness.

Power outages not only affect immediate production but can also compromise the ability to meet delivery deadlines, impact product quality and ultimately customer satisfaction.

Our engineering solution

A unit was designed that, firstly, could fulfil the function of working in parallel with the grid to guarantee the minimum downtime impact in the event of a failure of the factory’s main supply. Then the parts of this equipment were manufactured with a special surface treatment as it was exposed to a marine environment (marinised canopy and alternator).
