The methane-fueled Capstone CR200 microturbine installed at the plant in early 2012 produces 200kW of low-emission power. The microturbine uses waste methane from the purification process to produce electricity used onsite. The microturbine recovers 18.5-million-cubic-feet (523,861-cubic-meters) of methane gas and generates 1.331 million net kilowatt hours of clean electrical power. The anticipated energy cost savings to the processing plant is US$80,000 each year. Helping the Environment and the Community CONSOL found the Capstone microturbine technology the best solution for its gas-processing plant. In collaboration with E-Finity, CONSOL determined that purchasing the low-emission, highly reliable CR200 would improve its environmental impact and provide the greatest benefit to the region and company. Installation of the CR200 eliminates global warming potential from the plant equivalent to 6,486-metric-tonnes of carbon dioxide each year – which is comparable to removing 1,400 U.S. cars from the road. By installing the Capstone microturbine, CONSOL is showcasing a clean-and-green energy system that converts low and variable concentrations of methane to electricity and provides electric power to the processing plant. “The flow rate and methane concentration of the waste gas stream are well suited to the capacity of Capstone’s C200,” explained Jim Grech, Chief Commerial Officer of CONSOL Energy Inc. “The microturbine is rated to operate at 33 percent electrical efficiency, based on a lower heating value. It’s expected to have much lower maintenance costs and emissions than those from reciprocating engines.” CONSOL secured partial funding through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection under a Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority (PEDA) grant. The support from the state’s Environmental Protection Department “made it feasible for CONSOL to install the microturbine on this site and test the microturbine application on a gas processing plant,” Grech said. The PEDA grant encourages the use of Pennsylvania companies, like E-Finity, for energy- related projects. Unlike other distributed generation technologies that produce electricity, microturbines easily can operate with low and variable methane concentrations around 35 percent. The Fallowfield microturbine continuously operates with methane concentrations around 33 percent. The microturbine system includes a gas conditioning skid, chiller, and microturbine. The microturbine power system could qualify the plant to sell CO2 credits. In addition, the power system is expected to qualify it as a source of Tier 2 alternative energy under Pennsylvania’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard. To further extend its green initiative to the nearby community, CONSOL donated funds to the local school system equal to the value of the electricity generated during the microturbine’s first two months of operation. 21211 Nordhoff Street • Chatsworth • CA • 91311 • 866.422.7786 • 818.734.5300 • www.capstoneturbine.com ©2013 Capstone Turbine Corporation.
