The Joint Benefits of Combined Cycle and Cogeneration
A winning combination
Combined cycle plants are used in a wide spectrum of power and heat generation applications in industries ranging from utilities to the food, pulp and paper, and chemical industries. Whenever you need a low-cost, efficient and environmentally friendly solution for your heat and power generation needs - a solution that can also be used in densely populated areas - a combined cycle plant will be a better choice.
The number of possible industrial cogeneration applications is virtually unlimited for a combined cycle plant. The most common is to utilize back-pressure steam at about 8-10 bar or to extract steam for industrial processes.
Combined cycle and cogeneration plants are ideal for district heating applications. The SGT-500 for the utilization of exhaust gas for heating purposes or the SGT-600 / SGT-700 in combination with a steam turbine have proved to be extremely successful in district heating applications, resulting in simple and reliable heating plants.
Using a combined cycle unit together with an incineration plant is another application that is of increasing interest to the market.
