A third 20ft container serves as a high-tech electrical room housing the central control system and medium-voltage switchgear. The installation also includes auxiliary systems for heating, air conditioning, and exhaust gas post-treatment, along with specific thermal insulation to improve overall plant efficiency.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq-border\">\n<p>The combined cycle plant in Belgium now has a robust, efficient and environmentally friendly emergency power system.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Safety was paramount in the project. Fuel tank heaters with ATEX (Explosive Atmospheres) certification were installed to prevent any risk of explosion and to withstand extremely low temperatures. Additionally, the containers were fitted with liquid collection trays and leak detectors that activate immediately in case of a spill, effectively preventing environmental contamination.<\/p>\n<p>The electrical system was designed for remote management. The electrical room container includes an advanced control panel that enables simultaneous operation of both generator sets. Medium-voltage grounding resistors, automatic circuit breaker cells and a common power output system were also installed, allowing either generator to be isolated as needed.<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Two generator sets.

Our engineering team developed an integrated solution that includes an advanced exhaust gas post-treatment system with DPF filters, SCR technology, and a mixing chamber for urea injection, guaranteeing ultra-low emissions and full compliance with the most demanding standards.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing with this focus on sustainability, components were also installed to reduce the noise level to below 80\u202fdB at 1\u202fm. Motorised air louvers were also included to isolate the equipment from ambient conditions during periods of inactivity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-54641\" src=\"https:\/\/genesalenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dsc03396.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Strategic collaboration with Mitsubishi<\/h3>\n<p>Mitsubishi&#8217;s collaboration was key to ensuring the reliability and performance demanded by a project of this scale.<\/p>\n<p>Mitsubishi&#8217;s team worked closely with Genesal Energy\u2019s engineering departments throughout the design process, ensuring seamless technology integration.
