Providing continuous power and future emissions compliance to global energy company in Canada
In anticipation of upcoming governmental regulations, a forward-looking global energy company operating in British Columbia, Canada, wanted to lower its methane intensity. It turned to INNIO Group for its low-emission Waukesha products, which the company had purchased for decades to meet both its gas compression and power generation needs.
In 2022, the Canadian company purchased two VHP Series Five engines from INNIO Group’s Waukesha product line to provide continuous on-site power to the generators at its gas compression facility. Delivering lower emissions than other engines in their category, the VHP Series Five family of engines combines the most advanced technology available with the history and experience of the VHP platform. The two engines were commissioned at the natural gas site in 2023. The VHP Series Five offers fuel flexibility, with the ability to operate on nearly any fuel, from field gas and propane to commercial-quality natural gas without pre-treatment. It can operate in extreme heat with 120°F (49°C) ambient capability before derate.
Having worked with INNIO Group’s Waukesha products for decades, the Canadian company recognizes that parts, training, and service interval commonality exists across the VHP product series, and that factory-direct technical support is readily available. Its maintenance team was impressed with the reliability of the engines, resulting in minimal downtime, and the team’s familiarity with the units has simplified maintenance and operations. In addition, the engine’s load capabilities help ensure efficient operation.
