Teksan, which meets the energy needs of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Biogas Production Facility with renewable power solutions, continues its contribution to energy efficiency with giant projects. Teksan's biogas engine cogeneration systems are used in the Biogas Production Facility, where 10 thousand cubic meters of biogas will be produced daily. With Teksan cogeneration solutions that meet electricity and heat needs at the same time, 8 million 234 thousand kilowatts of electricity and 8 million 837 thousand kilowatts of heat will be generated annually, thus achieving 90 percent energy efficiency. The Biogas Production Facility project, which bears the signature of Teksan in the cogeneration system, was also deemed worthy of the Ideal City award at the International Urban Research Congress. Teksan, which makes significant contributions to sustainability with its energy efficient products, is the choice of large projects with renewable energy solutions. Finally, Teksan, which meets the uninterrupted energy needs of Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Biogas Production Facility with its biogas engine cogeneration systems, accelerated its efforts in this field. The facility, established in Gündoğan Village of Oğuzeli District of Gaziantep, will make many economic and environmental contributions to the city. The Biogas Production Plant project, which was awarded the Ideal City award at the International Urban Research Congress held in Strasbourg, France in October, is of great importance in terms of energy efficiency. With the Teksan cogeneration solutions used in the facility, electricity is produced that can meet the annual energy needs of 3 thousand 200 people and up to 90 percent energy efficiency is achieved.
Cogeneration systems play a key role in indigenization Stating that they produced Turkey's first domestic cogeneration and trigeneration systems, Teksan Generator Marketing Board Member Ebru Ata Tuncer said: "Cogeneration systems working with biogas as a renewable energy source attract attention as one of the most environmentally friendly electricity generation systems. Biogas engined cogeneration systems prevent animal wastes from harming the nature and pave the way for the production of electrical energy, which is highly dependent on foreign sources, to be made entirely with domestic resources. In such facilities, it is also possible to convert products with process output into organic fertilizer in addition to classical methods. This creates a great opportunity for our fertilizer industry, which is also largely dependent on abroad, in terms of indigenization. Although there is a very strong biogas potential in our country, unfortunately there are very few facilities. Germany, which has almost the same animal potential as Turkey, is the leading country in biogas. While the number of such facilities in our country is expressed with them, it is observed that this number is over 10 thousand in Germany. We are proud to be one of the most important projects of Turkey in this field and to be an exemplary one. We met the needs of the plant with our two 499kWe MAN biogas engine cogeneration systems. Our quarter-century of sector experience and references in special projects played an important role in our preference in such an important project. Thanks to the cogeneration system we have developed in accordance with the project-specific Industry 4.0 technology, electricity is generated from biogas and on the other hand, the heating needs are met. Moreover, cogeneration solutions can be monitored from the mobile phone thanks to the remote monitoring system. The biggest advantage of cogeneration systems is the maximum use of energy."
What is the Cogeneration and Trigeneration system? Cogeneration and trigeneration systems, which allow quality and cheap electricity production, are based on the fact that the energy is produced at the place where the energy is consumed independently of the electricity network and that the excess energy is used for heating or cooling purposes. In cogeneration, only heating is provided in addition to electricity generation, while in trigeneration, cold water is supplied to the cooling line in addition to electricity and heat energy. Producing heating and electrical energy from the same place instead of producing it in separate places provides high efficiency and economic advantages. A gas turbine or gas engine that produces only electricity converts 30-40 percent of the energy input into electricity, while in cogeneration systems, the efficiency is up to 90 percent with heat generation.
