Large Southern California Egg Farm Adopts Clean-and-Green Capstone CHP Solution
CHATSWORTH, Calif., June 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.capstoneturbine.com) (Nasdaq:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, announced today that it has secured an order for nine C65 integrated combined heat and power (ICHP) microturbines to upgrade a large chicken egg farm in Southern California.
Regatta Solutions, Inc., Capstone’s distributor in California, secured the order, which is expected to be commissioned in December 2017. The customer selected Capstone microturbines for their ability to lower their business’ total energy spend in an environment-friendly way.
“Microturbines are well suited for agricultural applications because they help round-the-clock businesses like farms to lower their operational costs while meeting the world’s most stringent emissions standards,” said Darren Jamison, Capstone’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “From one of the world’s largest milk producers in New England to large egg farmers in California agricultural customers are more frequently solving critical power needs with Capstone products that meet both their sustainability goals and critical power needs without the risk of power losses or extended downtime due to equipment maintenance,” added Mr. Jamison.
The natural gas-fueled C65 microturbines will be installed along with external gas compressors at two locations within the farm and operate in dual mode, which allows the customer to operate independently from, or with, the grid in a load sharing capacity. The clean exhaust heat from the microturbines will be used to produce hot water for the pasteurization process as well as onsite cleaning purposes.
“This opportunity represents yet another smart client example of how cogeneration is helping mid-market companies to optimize energy efficiency, provide enterprise resiliency and positively impact their sustainability initiatives,” said Steve Acevedo, President and Chief Executive Officer at Regatta Solutions.
