Infallible power for extreme security at a hospital in Germany

27 March 2024/in Applications, Hospitals Germany/by creativo

Hospitals are critical infrastructures because of their great importance to society.

They require special security measures in areas such as the power supply, key in the operation of these buildings. Electricity can never fail.

Genesal Energy specialises in offering the healthcare sector highly innovative energy solutions with all the warranties in terms of design, manufacture and maintenance. Machines capable of starting up in record time – in the event of a failure in the network – securing the operation of ORs, ICUs and other equipment.

The high quality and innovation of our own-manufactured generator sets has led us to design projects for hospitals all over the world and one of the latest orders has been for the Lukas Neuss one in Germany.

With 13 specialities and a staff of almost 1,000 professionals, this leading hospital is located in Neuss, a city of more than 150,000 inhabitants in the Westphalia region. Genesal Energy has reinforced the safety of the facilities designing, manufacturing and commissioning an emergency power unit. Among many other features, it complies with local emissions’ standards for combustion engines and water protection and is suitable for operation at low temperatures.

What makes it so special? Stage V generators

The generator set designed for the Neuss hospital has a latest-generation Stage V engine with particles filter, catalytic converter and urea system to comply with the demanding German emissions regulations. The machine must also be fitted with trays to collect any type of polluting liquid such as fuel, oil, coolants, etc.

In addition, it is equipped with leak detection systems to prevent spillage and motorised louvers and interior heating to ensure start-up in adverse weather conditions.

Generator set for a hangar at Barajas airport with a surface area equivalent to three football pitches.

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport leads the ranking of air traffic in Spain. It closed the 2023 financial year with a passenger volume of more than 60 million and more than 380,000 operations carried out.

The figures reflect the importance of this airfield which, due to its colossal dimensions, needs to have many hangars where aircraft can “rest”. Premises equipped to carry out repairs and maintenance operations inside.

They are normally designed to house more than one aircraft and emergency power is key to their operation. With a surface area of more than 22,400 square metres, the equivalent of almost three football pitches, one of these airport hangars needed a special generator. Genesal Energy has just supplied contingency power to prevent a significant loss of time and money with a special genset for airports.

Tailor-made: generator set for a hangar

“The client required the customised manufacture of hoppers and bellows for the generator’s cooling air outlet, as well as a gas duct with 90° bends to adapt to the layout of the hangar’s generator room“, explain the engineering staff which developed this project.

Our engineering team’s solution consisted of a highly customised generator set, which was manufactured according to the customer’s requests, seeking the best options for a special site with such particular dimensions.

Genesal Energy provides emergency power for two sugar farms in Tanzania

26 February 2024/in Agriculture, Applications Tanzania/by creativo

Africa is a continent with great natural resources. Market studies of the states in the eastern region, formed by 14 countries, reflect a 3% growth of the energy sector in the coming years. In this favourable scenario, one country stands out: Tanzania.

With a population of more than 63 million people, Tanzania’s agriculture is an important source of income, representing 25% of GDP, and sugar cane is one of its most profitable crops. Within this sector, the Kilombero Sugar company is a heavyweight. Its projects to increase production in the medium and long term require solid infrastructures capable of withstanding any unforeseen power supply eventuality, the country having a very deficient electricity network.

Reliability: emergency energy gensets for sugar farms

Genesal Energy has just reinforced the safety of the energy supply in one of its factories of brown sugar for direct consumption.

The company owns and operates two farms close to each other, Msolwa K1 and Ruembe K2, located on both sides of the Great Ruaha River and linked by a bridge. Both farms are involved in brown sugar production and need a very reliable network to carry out their daily business.

The project developed by Genesal Energy for Kilombero Sugar focused on the design, manufacture and commissioning of two soundproof generator sets with three different rooms each: engine-alternator room, control room and storage room.
