  VOCGEN is an industrial gas turbine integrated with a patented combustion chamber designed to thermally oxidize volatile organic compounds (VOC). The utilization of high Btu opportunity fuel(s) in addition to natural gas for the operation of a gas turbine results in energy efficient cogeneration and the abatement of EPA regulated air emissions.  This waste to energy technology also results in a significant economic solution for EPA regulated industries via reduced (offset) costs for 1) air pollution control equipment, 2) purchased grid power, and 3) purchased fuels for heating and cooling of processes and HVAC.

 

  VOCGEN CHP Systems replace existing air pollution control equipment subject to Clean Air Act Title V Operating Permits including direct flame and regenerative thermal oxidizers with efficient and ecologically beneficial onsite combined heat and power systems. 

 

  VOCGEN CHP systems are efficient and reliable onsite energy security for industry.  Our projects can reduce carbon emissions, eliminate the life cycle costs associated with traditional pollution control systems and increase profitability and competitiveness.

Advantages 

 Production reliability, competitiveness, energy security; air quality permit compliance and major reductions of regulated VOCs, toxics and carbon dioxide emissions. 

 

 Consuming high Btu value VOC emissions generated from manufacturing, petrochemical and synthetic organic chemical processes

 

 The elimination of existing air pollution control equipment and the associated life-cycle costs is a significant economic benefit for any facility 

  

 Replaces legacy air pollution control technology in an existing and ready market and it is a wealth generating economic model via efficiency for industry. An evolution in integrated plant architecture and advanced engineering design for onsite power and environmental controls

 

 

Benefits 

 VOCGEN CHP is a strategic and crosscutting energy generation technology representing an excellent economic model for industry

  

 VOCGEN gas turbines use clean-burning natural gas and high-Btu value solvent/fuel emissions as fuel sources

 

 VOCGEN CHP systems can often integrate with existing pollution control infrastructure (ducts, stacks, fans, filters, scrubbers, etc.)

 

 VOCGEN gensets and CHP systems can replace or operate in parallel with existing air pollution control systems. 

 

 VOCGEN CHP systems can significantly reduce carbon emissions based on offset purchased power

 

 VOCGEN CHP conserves valuable natural gas reserves via efficient power generation and utililization of waste heat

 

 VOCGEN provides a reliable energy source that can make production downtime from grid brownouts and blackouts a thing of the past; making profit margins and production schedules more predictable.

 The high destruction efficiency of regulated volatile organic compounds (VOC) by the Siemens 7.9MW(e) SGT-300 CHP solution significantly enhance the value of a typical economic sensitivity model for a cogeneration plant operating with fixed and variable output.

 

 Thousands of existing facilities that use abatement equipment and many more with the potential to use VOC abatement equipment represent a ready replacement market for the SGT-300 VOC CHP solution.  Given the goals of the USEPA and the USDOE to strategically deploy distributed generation (DG) throughout the power grid, the opportunity for energy efficiency and superior economics is at hand.

 

 Preliminary data suggests there may be over 25,000 industrial facilities in North America that might be able to take advantage of this alternative technology. If 50 percent of these facilities adopt the technology by 2030, the primary energy savings might exceed 1.25 quads of energy.  This is equivalent to the petroleum production that might be provided by opening the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge.

 

 “The pollution control system has at its heart a combustion turbine, integrated into the host plant.  The VOC laden air is fed to the turbine, which is then combusted in a suitable combustion system.  The combustion temperature, residence time and mixing is sufficient to ensure good burn-out of the VOC in the air.  Normal quality fuels are used to provide the fuel to the combustion system. Post treatment, or polishing can be utilized if necessary by using a duct fired HRSG. The benefit of this installation is to provide, as a by-product, comprehensive power and heat needs to the host plant, reducing the dependency on utility power or other means of raising steam or process heat. This technology has been proven in an application in Holland, and by completing “spiking” testing at the Siemens facility in Houston, Texas USA.”

Carbon Compounds

Exempt from VOC Regulation

 

 USEPA regulations include a list of compounds that are explicitly exempted from regulation as VOCs , even though they are "compounds of carbon." These include a short list of compounds such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide that historically have not been regulated as VOCs, and a longer list of compounds that the EPA has classified as "negligibly reactive." Negligibly reactive compounds are compounds that, based on scientific studies, have been found "not to contribute appreciably to ozone formation." This list of VOC exempt compounds is found at 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s).    

 

 Start your search for 40 C.F.R. 51.100(s) at www.epa.gov, then go to Laws and Regulations (which you‘ll see on the left side), then Regulations and Proposed Rules, then Codified Regulations.  You will see a form in which you can enter the specifics of the CFR you are searching for, in this case Title 40 CFR Part 51.100.  You can download a text or Adobe pdf file of the section.

Statement of Services / Qualifications

 

  Environment & Power Systems International offers strategic project development consulting services for Siemens VOC CHP projects. Siemens VOC CHP technology is a comprehensive solution for the manufacturing, petrochemical and synthetic organic chemical industries subject to CAA Title V operating permits for major sources. 

 

 Industries within these categories can achieve significant cost savings by switching from the standard practice of burning VOCs with direct flame and RTO indirect thermal oxidizer technologies (achieved through the storage of heat by dense ceramic stoneware) to VOC destruct systems based on Siemens gas turbine power generation technology.

 

 Gas turbine VOC abatement systems are highly reliable and proven technology that provides the user a substantial increase in energy efficiency, carbon reduction, a return on investment and it is an energy and operational cost savings resource.
