Improving thermal and electrical efficiency through cogeneration in the manufacture of latex products

Description

In 2018, a leading producer of latex products together with DTC Soluciones, implemented a distributed generation solution with natural gas to cover part of its electrical and thermal demand, specifically in the operation of its baking ovens, essential to ensure the quality of its products.

A 1 MW natural gas-fired generation unit (1-C1000) was installed, which not only supplies electricity to the plant, but also recovers waste heat from the process to power the baking ovens.
