PI ENERGY (THAILAND) LTD, an MWM distributor for Thailand, has installed an MWM TCG 2020 V16 gas engine for the Uthai Rung Co., Ltd. factory in Uthai Thani Province site of WGC Co., Ltd. The Thai food manufacturer WGC Co., Ltd. produces added-value products such as maltodextrin, maltose syrup, liquid glucose, and glucose syrup. The tapioca required for the products is manufactured in the company’s two factories: Uthai Rung Co., Ltd. and Lampang Agro Co., Ltd. An MWM gas engine is also used for energy generation at the Lampang Agro Co., Ltd. in Lampang Province. site.
To ensure reliable power supply of the factory, GPI Energy (Thailand) Ltd. has installed an MWM TCG 2020 V16 gas engine for the Uthai Rung Co., Ltd. in Uthai Thani Province. site. The factory, which is located about 250 km from Bangkok, processes about 200 t of starch a day. The factory produces raw material for further processing by WGC Co., Ltd. The MWM gas engine with an output of 1.56 MW is housed in a container and runs on biogas gained from the factory’s wastewater. The containerized cogeneration power plant was delivered and installed on a turnkey basis by GPI Energy (Thailand) Ltd. The planning of the project, the commissioning of the transformer, the 22-kV medium voltage switchboard, and the grid connection were also implemented by GPI Energy (Thailand) Ltd.
The MWM TCG 2020 V16 gas engine for Uthai Rung Co., Ltd. is synchronized with the grid and switches to island-mode operation whenever the grid supply is interrupted. When the grid is back up, the engine is again synchronized with the grid. This approach prevents production outages such as those that used to occur due to power interruptions prior to the installation of the MWM gas engine. Since the commissioning in 2022, the MWM TCG 2020 V16 has been continually supplying the factory’s production processes and has already completed more than 2,000 operating hours.
The MWM gas engines of the TCG 2020 series are perfectly geared to the challenges of a dynamic market environment. Our models in the output range of 1,000 – 1,560 kWel meet the high requirements of a broad range of applications and guarantee efficiency, reliability, flexibility and environmental sustainability, together with low lifecycle costs and high profitability.
MWM Gas Engine TCG 2020 V12, V16 / TCG 2020 offer the highest ratings in ecology and economy:
-Output range from 1,000 to 1,560 kWel
-Best electrical and thermal efficiency in its output class
-Runs on all gas types: natural gas, biogas, landfill gas, sewage gas, mine gas, etc.
-Low operating costs
-TCG 2020 is mainly used for CHP plants in Europe and for biogas worldwide
-The TCG 2020 V12 in the configuration RW (natural gas) and XW (biogas) is specifically optimized for the 1 MWel capacity range, with even lower operating and maintenance costs
-TCG 2020 K was especially adapted to non-ISO conditions such as high altitudes or high intake air temperatures in the field of natural gas
-For the Asia-Pacific/Bangladesh region, the MWM TCG 2020 V16 K is available with 1,415 kWel.
-More than 2000 power generators with approximately 2,800,000 kWel already installed around the globe
TCG 2020 – High Profitability Thanks to High Efficiency
Improvements of the intake duct and spark plug provide higher efficiency compared to predecessor model. The Miller valve control times increase genset efficiency.
TCG 2020 V12 in the Configuration RW (Natural Gas) and XW (Biogas) offers increased efficiency and extended useful life in the 1 MWel capacity range.
It has been designed for all natural gas and biogas applications in countries with 50 Hz networks. It offers longer maintenance intervals for all natural gas applications extend useful life by two years. The genset has optimised electrical efficiency of 43 percent (under ISO conditions) for natural gas applications, as well as optimised lubricant management. The TCG 2020 provides lower internal consumption through higher mixture cooler temperatures for natural gas applications
TCG 2020 K – Optimized for Isolated Operation and Non-ISO Conditions
-Load response in only seven steps
-Fast and reliable supply in the event of grid failures or in isolated operation
-Special 1,000 kWel variant available for high altitude setup and different intake air temperatures
-Higher Efficiency and Lower Pollutant Emissions
-Smaller dead spaces in combustion chamber ensure more complete combustion
-Reduced fuel consumption and CO and HC emissions This enables gas savings of up to 15 percent a year and increases the profitability of the plant
-Higher Efficiency and Long Maintenance Intervals
-Effective crankcase ventilation increases efficiency by utilizing the returned combustible blow-by gas
-Optimised blow-by return and improved separation of the gas phase and liquid phase enable longer maintenance intervals for the turbocharger thanks to the clean intake air
K Editions: Maximum Output at Low Costs
-Improved output capacity of TCG 2020 K under non-ISO conditions and excellent load response through optimum turbocharger design with broad performance map
-For the Asia-Pacific/Bangladesh region, the MWM TCG 2020 V16 K with 1,415 kWel can optimally meet the high local requirements.
-New turbocharger TCR 16 for TCG 2020 with water-cooled bearing housing eliminates need for separate maintenance stages for the turbocharger
-Low turbocharger maintenance costs lead to lower life cycle costs for gas engines/electricity gensets.
- High Reliability thanks to the MWM Gas Engine TCG 2020
TCG 2020 K
-Few Interruptions Due to Long Maintenance Intervals
-No more than two interruptions a year due to scheduled maintenance
-Longest interval until major overhaul compared to competitors
-Use of Xchange components enables time savings of up to 75 percent during the major overhaul, resulting in reduced costs
-High Reliability through Mature Drive Technology in 60 Hz Range
-Engine can be operated with an optimum speed of 1500 RPM.
-Lower speed ensures stable and complete combustion, resulting in lower CO emissions and less component wear and tear
