Water-generation plants extract water from the environment, concentrating and purifying it inside the equipment.

This type of mobile infrastructure makes it possible to bring drinking water to remote areas where access to it is very scarce or even non-existent.

Genesal Energy has just supplied a custom generator set for one of these plants. These devices operate in emergencies or natural catastrophes. They also play a fundamental role in places where there is a lack of water infrastructures.

Among other projects we have designed for this sector, we have manufactured and supplied a tailor-made 20ft DV container generator set.

What was the objective?

The solution developed by our engineers focused on powering the entire series of elements that are installed inside the container itself. The Engineering Department also points out the specific characteristics of the place, e.g. the humidity conditions, where the generator set is going to operate.

Importance of a generator set.

A genset is the main source of power for these plants, which are often installed in remote locations where the infrastructure is very poor. They are often commissioned in areas where there is not even access to a conventional power grid.

Customer need

The client needed a generator set with a great autonomy and the necessary robustness to be able to be transported through unconventional places where cargos are subjected to high stresses due to the shakings.

The small area available was also a handicap. It “forced us to build a fairly high base frame for generators of this power rate in order to reach the fuel capacity required for the requested operating hours”, our technicians explain. “We had to make reinforcements and frames for the container, completely different elements from the standard ones”, they underline.

Eventually, the engineering department was able to design the container as required by the customer in order to be able to install the rest of the elements.

Features:

• Specially designed container meeting customer’s requirements.
• Custom-designed base frame, adapted to the location and space reserved by the customer inside the container.
• 1000 L base frame integrated fuel tank.
• RAL colour required by the customer.
