Gas power insights

Notes we wrote for the questions that keep arriving in our inbox — written for buyers, EPCs and plant engineers who have to make a decision, not a literature review. No product brochures, no invented numbers: where a figure depends on the project, we say so.

SELECTION — FUEL

Biogas vs natural gas generator sets: what actually changes in the configuration

Same engine platform, very different gas train. How methane content, treatment, pressure and site conditions change the specification — and the one page of data that saves weeks of back-and-forth.

SELECTION — ELECTRICAL

50 Hz vs 60 Hz gas generator sets: how to choose for your market

Frequency decides the alternator build, control settings, spares list and resale value. Market-by-market reference, plus the three questions that settle the choice on any project.

SELECTION — CONFIGURATION

Containerized vs open skid: site, climate and cost

Transport, ambient temperature, noise limits and — most of all — maintenance access. Where the container wins on total cost, and where the open skid still makes sense.

OPERATION — BIOGAS

Gas treatment before the engine: H₂S, moisture and siloxanes

Most biogas engine failures begin upstream of the engine. Indicative targets, the two desulphurisation routes, the drying chain and the monitoring routine that keeps guarantees valid.

OPERATION — LIFETIME COST

Overhaul intervals and lifetime cost vs diesel generation

How overhaul intervals are set, what shortens them, the four-line lifetime cost model, and the segment where gas generation pays back fastest compared with diesel.
