Aggreko launches world’s lowest-emitting power generation system

Mobi le and modular power solutions provider, Aggreko, recently launched a rev- olutionary power system which, it said, will clean up to 99% of controlled emissions in mine power generation. Aggreko global head of mining, Rod Saffy said the launch of the company’s 1300 kW Ultra-Low Emissions package would significantly reduce a mine’s envi- ronmental footprint without interfering with operations. “Our Ultra-Low Emissions package is a world-class power genera- tion system that reduces practically all of the controlled emissions from generator exhaust streams,” Saffy explained. “Through a combination of a selective catalyst reducer (SCR) and oxidation cata- lyst, our Ultra-Low Emissions Package cuts carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide and hydro- carbon emissions to create a clean supply

of power. Emission levels are 90% lower than the next best available technology on the market. We expect the 1300 kW Ultra-

Low Emissions Package will revolutionise the way emissions from power generation are managed in mining and related sectors, greatly assisting them on their journeys to net-zero emissions by 2050.” The 1300 kW Ultra-Low Emissions Package is suitable for temporary and long-term use and can be tailored to fit any project situation. “Mining customers will benefit from knowing their operational emissions will be significantly cut-back, their carbon footprint reduced, and their air quality permitting standards met, ultimately increasing pro- ductivity on-site,” said Saffy. 
