One set of Yuchai 12VCN 800kW gas generator set is deployed for the biogas power station of a kitchen waste treatment station in Shanghai. The unit takes biogas produced by anaerobic fermentation of kitchen waste as fuel to generate clean electricity, realizing harmless disposal and resource‑based recycling of kitchen organic waste.
1.Background
This biogas power project is built at a kitchen waste treatment station in Shanghai. Kitchen waste is treated through anaerobic digestion to produce biogas. Rather than wasting this renewable gas resource, the project adopts the Yuchai gas generator set to convert biogas into electric power. The generated electricity can be consumed on‑site for plant production and operation or connected to the public grid, reducing fossil energy consumption and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
2.Why Yuchai 12VCN Gas Engines
The Yuchai 12VCN series gas engine is optimized for biogas operating conditions. It can adapt to biogas with fluctuating methane content and delivers excellent anti‑corrosion performance, supporting stable continuous running under biogas working environments. This single 800 kW genset provides steady renewable power output. This solution converts kitchen organic waste into clean electric energy, helping customers cut energy costs and achieve carbon‑reduction targets.
3.Key Technical Specifications
‑ Engine: Yuchai 12VCN, 12‑cylinder V‑type gas engine ‑ Rated Power per unit: 800 kW ‑ Total installed capacity: 800 kW (1 × 800kW) ‑ Fuel: Biogas (produced from anaerobic fermentation of kitchen waste) ‑ Rated Speed: 1000 r/min ‑ Rated Frequency: 50 Hz ‑ Control: Intelligent gas adaptive control system, stable continuous operation
4.Operational Value After Commissioning
The project realizes full‑scale resource utilization of local kitchen waste. On‑site biogas power generation reduces dependence on purchased grid power and lowers the plant's operating energy expenditure. At the same time, it curbs methane emissions from kitchen organic waste, helping the facility comply with environmental‑protection requirements and build a circular‑economy model for kitchen waste disposal.
5.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What fuel does the 12VCN unit adopt in this project?
A: The unit runs on biogas generated from anaerobic fermentation of kitchen waste. The 12VCN engine features anti‑corrosion design and an intelligent gas adaptive system to adapt to biogas with fluctuating methane concentration.
Q: What value can this kitchen waste biogas power project deliver?
A: It converts kitchen organic waste into clean electricity for plant self‑use or grid‑connection, reducing electricity expenses. It also mitigates methane emissions from waste, satisfies environmental‑protection regulations and promotes the development of circular economy.
