Products: mini-Combined Heat & Power
Lower Your Energy Consumption & Costs
Perfect to provide hot water and supplemental power for facilities like nursing homes, hotels, apartment buildings, small industrial and commercial sites, etc. Great return on investment can be achieved when you use the heat generated from the engine and the electricity it produces.
Nursing homes, etc. consume a significant amount of hot water, which drives up electricity / gas bills.
Our innovative system can significantly lower your utility expenses by:
Reducing electric and gas consumption
Producing electricity while heating water at 90% efficiency or higher
Turning our system into a profitable investment for many years
Powered by the proven technology of Combined Heat & Power, our system is ideal for any business needing lots of hot water.
Works seamlessly with your utility electric power. Can greatly reduce energy consumption, providing very good ROI benefits.
Make hot water while generating electricity
Known as co-generation, efficiency can be 90% or greater.
Lowers your energy (gas, electric) consumption.
Note: Manufacturer details and customer references are available upon request.
Benefits
Installs next to your existing hot water boiler
Our system provides virtually all your hot water needs
Modulating engine matches hot water demand
Your existing boiler only operates if demand exceeds what we can supply (usually never)
Simultaneously generates electricity to reduce your power needs
Reduces consumption of grid electricity and might even reduce gas consumption
Ultra-low emissions
Small footprint
Make use of engine exhaust heat to provide all your hot water needs. Generate electricity at the same time.
One or more systems can be installed, as well as additional buffer tanks.
Works with your existing hot water system, simultaneously generating electricity for your facility.
Case Study
“The ability to reduce the total gas consumption in 2022 was due to the fact that the engine driven micro CHP system is capable of self-modulating its thermal output. The system is operated in the thermal load following mode, varying the thermal output to follow the building’s domestic hot water load.
By varying the engine speed, the micro CHP system can provide a range of 13,000 Btus/hr to 42,000 Btus/hr of thermal energy while simultaneously generating between 1.2 kW and 4.4 kW of electric power.
Operating the fully modulating system in the thermal load following mode results in maximum operating time for the micro CHP system (avoiding the system cycling of conventional boilers). This provides higher overall performance efficiencies, which translates to lower natural gas consumption.”

Uses Biogas, Natural Gas or Propane
You will need a local fuel supply. Natural gas is one of the best fuels, being most abundant, but propane and renewable natural gas can also be used.
California Air Emissions Testing Results demonstrate the extremely low emissions from the mCHP system (in blue).
Reduce Risk
Grid reliability is becoming a common concern. Having your own electric generation capability reduces your operational risk and helps protect you from unexpected utility costs.
Tax Benefits?
Systems that qualify as Combined Heat and Power (CHP), can usually qualify for Federal Tax Credit (30% of the total installation, up to 50 megawatts in size).
Other State and Federal tax benefits may also apply.
