Engine Operation Alternatives• Balance DGDigester gas first routed to heating boilersthen balance to engines.• Max with NGDigester gas first routed to heating boilersthen balance to engines.Supply engines with natural gas whenengine capacity is available(typically in winter)
Steam Turbine Operation AlternativesElectric GeneratorMain Steam from Power Boilers(600-750 psia)TurbineExtraction Steam toPlant Heating(90 psig) Exhaust Steam to Condenser(variable, below atmospheric)• ST – A = Use extraction steam for building and digester heat• ST – B = Use extraction steam for building heat, condenser water heatsdigesters via recirculation line• ST – C = Use extraction steam for building heat, condenser water preheatsinfluent sludge to digesters
