Diesel Generators for Emergency Municipal Power Generation

It’s essential that municipalities have a stable, reliable supply of electrical power to supply residents with the infrastructure and services that people rely on in their daily lives and pay for through their taxes. However, municipalities are just as vulnerable to power outages – manmade or natural – as homes and businesses are. This makes investing in quality power generation solutions, including diesel generators, in order to keep essential utilities running.

Power Generators

Where are the Needs for Electrical Power Highest in Municipalities? 

We all know the disruption, losses and potential dangers of our homes and businesses being left without power – when it’s municipal infrastructure that is affected, the consequences of having no electrical power can be even more severe. Areas, where critical power generation is required, include: 
  • Buildings that provide essential services – courthouses, fire stations, schools, town halls, and administrative buildings, and libraries. 
  • Utilities – power generation facilities and natural gas supplies. 
  • Water treatment and supply facilities 
  • Sewerage treatment facilities 
  • Municipal healthcare facilities, urgent care, clinics, and medical offices. 
  • Public transportation systems – trams and trains. 
  • City projects – municipal construction projects, road repair, and development projects and public works projects. 
Power Generation Solutions for Emergency Preparedness 

Manmade and natural disasters require a comprehensive, rapid emergency response from municipal services. Implementing a plan that includes the deployment of diesel generator at key points ensures that lighting and emergency systems are kept up and running for first responders, that emergency response command centers and call centers stay online, that water pumps stay operable and that temporary emergency lighting and auxiliary equipment can be kept running onsite of the emergency. 

Why Diesel Generators are the Best Municipal Power Generation Solution 

Diesel generators are exceptionally fuel-efficient, durable and powerful, making them the power generation solution of choice for commercial and industrial applications. They come in a wide range of options to suit different municipal power generation requirements, including portable generators, large-scale and small generators, and they can be run in parallel to offer greater efficiency and adaptability while meeting load requirements. Fuel is easily available, maintenance costs are low, and they can be made fully-mobile for easy access to electrical power at emergency sites, construction sites, and temporary power needs.

Popular types of industrial coolers

From foods to the minerals industry, a variety of companies use industrial coolers as the portable generator to add efficiency to material processing. When selecting industrial cooling equipment, there are two popular types your business can choose from such as a rotary cooler or a fluid bed cooler. This article will provide some basic understanding of these generator sets . Rotary cooler A rotary cooler is a robust and long-lasting industrial cooling solution. The main advantage they have to offer is their heavy-duty drum construction. The robustness of a rotary drum accepts a broad range of feedstock at a high capacity, making it the workhorse of the bulk solids processing industry for both drying and cooling procedures. Rotary coolers use a counter-current air-flow design, along with ambient or chilled air, to efficiently cool material. Additionally, flights lift and cascade material as it tumbles through the drum, enhancing the cooling process. There are a variety of a...

4 Ways That Commercial Rooftop Solar Saves You Money

Every business has unique power requirements and faces its own power challenges, but most of these challenges can be solved while decreasing costs by using a combination of commercial rooftop solar   panels and high-quality energy storage systems. Here are  four  ways going solar will save your business money, from the solar cell specialists.   1.  Earning solar feed-in credits:  The amount of credits your business can earn are dependent on the size of your solar cell system  and t he deal you negotiate with the local electricity retailer and the policy in place for your state. This system allows you to sell the excess solar energy in c/kWh that your commercial rooftop solar system collects back into the grid, earning you a profit in credits, which can also be traded to other businesses.
