What is MultiGen...

MultiGen ticks all the right green boxes while saving you money. It also takes co and tri-generation one step further. These techniques generate a number of useful energy products from a single fuel source by employing combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) technologies. Until now systems have been mainly co-generating with some tri-generating. MultiGen systems include our air water technologies offering as many as 4 essential products, quad-generated, from a single natural gas powered system and include:

* Electrical power generation,
* Water production,
* Supplementary hot and cool air for air conditioning,
* Heating of water and,
* Be configured to act as a back-up electrical power supply.

Generating energy products, the MultiGen way, means a very small carbon footprint to easily increase a building’s star rating while significantly reducing a building’s energy costs. In  agricultural production facilities or retirement villages the utilisation of water manufactured along with water heated may be a principle reason for a MultiGen.

A back-up power supply enabling your emergency services to operate in a grid “black out” can also be a very important factor for many building owners, facilities managers and those providing mission critical services.

With electricity and water prices on the rise and the imposition of a carbon tax, ”going green” is becoming critical to an organisation’s financial success and public profile. For example in the office space real-estate market, the newest amenity that is rapidly becoming a necessity is a building’s ability to deliver reliable power and conserve water in an energy efficient way minimising the carbon footprint. This may also increase the value of the building or rental space.

MultiGen systems are highly efficient. 95% of the energy contained in the natural gas fuel burned in the MultiGen turbine component is turned into usable energy. This is achieved by capturing the exhaust gas heat released by the turbine to power air cooled gas absorption chillers which operate our air water technology. The by-product of this technology is air conditioned air. If required MultiGen can give an additional output of heating site water using a gas-electric process.

Electrical power generated through the inverter system is considered ”clean” power. Some grid supplied electricity averages a power factor of only 0.75. MultiGen’s power factor of electricity supplied is 0.98. This means that electrical equipment can operate more efficiently drawing less current aiding in a further reduction of grid supply requirements.

MultiGen is designed as a ‘Plug and Play’ solution providing a fully automated process that is simple to install, monitored remotely,  with a 5 year warranty and service contract. Systems can be rented or purchased and generally have a 5 year ROI.
