Defra Backs Anaerobic Digestion
• Organic Materials - Manure Slurry Food waste - could be source of 2 MWhe Source UK Gov. - Jane Kennedy Farming & Environment Minister
• Defra indicate the UK produces >110 M tonnes of organic waste (90 M tonnes from manure + 20 M tonnes Waste Food Defra launching Task force - To Assist sectors such as Farming Water Industry, Food Industry to produce biogas
• NFU target to have 1,000 on farm units by 2020 to power farms and have fertilisers as a by product

Definition of Polygeneration
CHP is the simultaneous production of Heat & Power derived from a single or multiple source of fuel/energy.
Polygeneration is the use of multiple energy inputs to create multiple energy outputs.

Embedded Power Trigeneration?
Why Trigeneration Not Blue Sky
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Conventional Systems
• ή Power station 40-45%• ή transmission = - 3%• ή Power to site = 37- 42%
• ή Loss = 63% – 58%
2/3 energy is lost Energy Act - 80% reduction in energy use by 2050How can we achieve it !
CharteredConsulting Engineers
The key design Good Quality CHP (GQCHP)
The target energy usage should ideally have a ratio of heat/power requirements, which are as closely in phase with the ratio of heat and power delivered by the CHP plant through all the production capacities / demand.
The Measure is Good Quality CHP ( Rule of thumb)Index = 200 Electrical Efficiency + 125 Thermal Efficiency > 100
GQCHP Avoids payment of climate change levy (CCL)
CharteredConsulting Engineers
CHP & CHRP - the Success CriteriaContinuous and matched heat & electrical supply & demand Suitable ratio of energy demand/supplyCurrently Spark Gap (electrical cost / fuel cost) > 3.0 CO2 emission reduction – Tax advantages - Carbon Tax Improved security of supplyInterruptible energy supply cost savings - supply security Suitable relative capital incentive – mains supplyRelative maintenance costs a potential advantageProjected life cycle costs are attractive compared with conventional
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Commercial Considerations for Successful CHP / CHRP Applications
e.g. Electricity £0.010/kWh : Gas £0.030 /kWhRule of thumb Spark Gap > 3.0 Relative cost of power / fuel ~ Electricity to GasCost of electricity - gas ~ Price Gap = 7.0 p/kWCost of electricity / gas ~ Spark Gap = 3.3Electricity Connection Charge and agreements Gas Connection charge and agreement Potential to manage interruptible gas suppliesUpgrading time expired refrigeration plant

The Prime Movers There is a variety of available systems thatcan be applied as the electrical primary energySupply devices. E.g.
Reciprocating EnginesMicroturbinesGas TurbinesSteam TurbinesSolar ORC (Organic Rankin Cycle)Fuel Cells
CharteredConsulting Engineers
Some fuels used in prime movers • Natural Gas (including interruptible supplies, CNG)• Wellhead Gases • LPG (liquid and gaseous)• Naphtha• Landfill and Sewage Gas• Mines Gas (Coal Bed Methane)• High Hydrogen Gases• Coke oven gas• Synthetic Gases from biomass, coal and wastes • Gasified (‘wood & waste food gas’) • Diesel, Kerosene & biofuels• Crude Oil• Waste solvents e.g. ethanol, methanol hydrocarbon based solvents • Permits are potentially an issue to consider

Sorption• Absorption is the incorporation of a substance
into another of a different state.e.g. Liquids into Solids
or Gases into LiquidsAbsorption is basically where a material takes in another substance.
• Adsorption is the physical adherence or bonding of ions and molecules onto the surface of another phase
( e.g. reagents adsorbed to solid catalyst surfaces).

Comparison Between Conventional and Tri-generation System
Conventional System
• Overall Efficiency: 51 %
• Running Cost: £800 p.w.
• CO2 Emissions:12.6 t/day
Tri-generation System
• Overall Efficiency 73 % (COP=0.35)
• Running Cost: £440 p.w
• CO2 Emissions: 5.3 t/day
Note: Efficiency and environmental performance of tri-generation system will increase significantly when low temperature absorption refrigeration systems with COP (Coefficient of Performance) close to 1.0 are achieved.
