A total of 16 sets of Yuchai 16VCN 1200kW gas generator sets are deployed for the off-gas power project of Inner Mongolia Kunsheng Alloy, to recycle industrial waste gas from the alloy smelting process and convert it into electric power.
1.Background:
Inner Mongolia Kunsheng Alloy Off-Gas Power Project Kunsheng Alloy operates an alloy smelting production base in Inner Mongolia. The smelting process generates large volumes of combustible off-gas. Instead of direct venting, the project adopts gas generator sets to recover this waste gas for power generation. The produced electricity can be supplied for the factory's own production use, cutting grid power consumption and lowering carbon emissions.
2.Why Yuchai 16VCN Gas Engines
The Yuchai 16VCN series gas engine is specially optimized for industrial low-calorific waste gas conditions. It can steadily run on alloy smelting off-gas with fluctuating gas composition. The 16 units of 1200kW generators work together to realize large-scale waste gas energy recovery. The solution helps the client turn waste gas into valuable power, achieving energy saving and cost reduction.

4.Operational Value After Commissioning
This project fully recycles the alloy smelting exhaust gas. On-site power generation reduces the factory's purchase of external grid electricity, significantly lowering production energy costs. It also reduces direct emission of combustible gas, helping the enterprise meet environmental protection requirements and realize circular economy.
5.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What kind of gas does the 16VCN unit burn in this project?
A: It uses combustible off-gas produced during alloy smelting. The 16VCN engine is adapted to fluctuating gas quality common in metallurgical waste gas scenarios.
Q: Why choose multiple 1200kW units instead of one large unit?
A: Adopting multiple parallel units brings higher reliability. When one set needs maintenance, other units can continue operation to guarantee continuous power supply for the plant.
Q: What benefits does waste gas power generation bring to the alloy plant?
A: It converts waste gas into electricity for self-consumption, saving electricity expenses. Meanwhile, it reduces gas venting and meets environmental protection standards.
