GENSETS: THREE GENSETS FOR POLAND'S NEW MINE COGENERATION SYSTEM

astrzębska Spółka Węglowa S.A., the European Union’s largest producer of high-quality hard coking coal for use in the of iron and steel making industries, is using three CG260-16 generator sets - capable of operating on gas from the mine with methane content ranging from 40%to 70%.  - to power an integrated cogeneration system at its Knurów-Szczygłowice mine in southern Poland. Commissioned in June, the system uses coal mine methane (CMM) to produce up to12 MW of power and 12 MW of thermal energy. The electricity is used to supply power for conveyors, compressors, coal processing, mine ventilation systems, and other operations.
