Combined Heat and Power

In this case study, Lamons helped a Montana refinery overcome a critical flange misalignment issue during the final stages of an FCC unit turnaround. Traditional methods and standard gaskets failed to resolve the problem, threatening costly delays and safety risks. Leveraging our engineering expertise and rapid response capabilities, Lamons designed and delivered a custom wedge […]

A novel hydrogen combustion engine technology trial, led by EMEC at Kirkwall Airport in Orkney in the UK, was completed in October. This marks the first time hydrogen has been used to meet both the power and heat demands of a commercial airport in the UK.

Today’s demand for energy is extraordinary and expected to continue rising. The rapid growth of data centers, reshoring manufacturing operations and electrification of transportation has accelerated the market demands for electricity. Rethinking how industries use, and re-use materials is central to both the future of the electrified world and the work of Nucor, North America’s […]

Back in 2015, ground broke on a combined heat and power (CHP) facility in Florida. It was created as a partnership between Chesapeake Utilities Corp., its Florida Public Utilities (FPU) subsidiary, and Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (RYAM), and comprised a Solar Titan 250 gas turbine and a Rentech heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). Ten years on, how is the $40 million facility doing, how has the partnership worked out, and what lessons have been learned along the way? POWER magazine took a trip to the plant to answer those questions.

Three groups active in the industrial infrastructure space have announced a collaboration that would create the largest data center campus in Utah and provide gigawatts of new power generation capacity to the state. Infrastructure company Joule Capital Partners, along with Caterpillar Inc., and Wheeler Machinery Co. on August 7 said they have an agreement to […]

In an era where energy costs continue to rise and climate concerns intensify, the inefficiencies of traditional power generation have become increasingly difficult to ignore. Conventional power plants often

Small modular reactor (SMR) technology developer NuScale Power has unveiled research programs that could advance an energy system that integrates its nuclear technology to produce desalinated water and hydrogen, while reusing brine waste as an industrial feedstock. The research, developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and […]

Microgrids have grown in importance as the need for a reliable and resilient supply of power has grown. The technology has proven itself for a variety of commercial and industrial (C&I) enterprises, in both urban and rural areas where a source of off-grid—or in some cases grid-connected—energy is needed, whether a backup power or as a primary source of electricity.

District energy systems can accelerate decarbonization of buildings in cities. The clock is ticking for building owners in U.S. cities that have enacted performance standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The carrots and sticks of local energy codes to tackle climate change are quickly becoming mostly sticks. With compliance deadlines looming, many owners of large […]
