Features of Equipment, System and Facilities

•

Features of the system There are many digestion gas-burning power plants that use engines. Further, several plants use fuel cells. However, the present plant uses the waste heat of fuel cells as a heat source for heating the process of sewage treatment, for the first time in Japan. Fuel cells do not accompany revolution or burning when power is generated, being clean equipment, and compared with conventional power generation equipment, the plant can achieve high efficiency. Using digestion gas as fuel, the fuel cells generate 200 kW, and achieve the following environmental effects, since the plant can reduce the purchase of electric power.
