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.

Why Cat Generators Are One Of The Best

We are big fans of Caterpillar generators.  They are better known as Cat generators .  Leaders in the generator industry, you can never go wrong with a Cat rental .  With so many kinds of generators, different models all running on different fuels, it's a big world.  Generators are excellent for energy storage .  We use them in times of crisis, as back-up options and for rural purposes.  There are many uses for a generator, it can be quite difficult when it comes to choosing the right one.  We recommend the Caterpillar generators for several reasons, as outlined below. Generators aren't toys We don't research a Cat rental for fun.  Cat generators are not toys and not for playing.  That said, some may say generators are like toys for the grown men.  Generators work to provide an energy storage bank so that when they're needed, energy is available.  Generators are an expensive item that, if looked after, can last for ...

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...

Tips for Using a Generator Safely

When choosing a generator, there are lots of generators to choose from including electric generators , gas generators ,  and diesel generators . While the Australian government is concerned about the environmental impacts of these generators, they always focus on “safety first” as their number one priority. This article will provide some tips for using a generator in a safe way. Thanks to technology, more and more generators are available in the market, however, not many people know how to use a generator safely. Using a generator safely includes choosing a generator, how to install and how to maintain it. Generator Installation Tips  Residential appliances may be sensitive to power surges, especially computers and televisions. Ask your generator installation professional or electrician about ‘clean’ power without power spikes, surges, or line noise. Because installing and operating generators pose safety risks, here are additional safety precautions you should t...
