Six POET biorefineries to install CHP systems
In South Dakota, Six POET biorefineries in Ohio and Indiana are installing a new energy generation system using combined heat and power. These systems will reduce reliance on the electrical energy grid, recover waste energy for additional use in the plant and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The system will use steam in a turbine to generate electricity to run the plant and recover waste energy from the turbine to meet additional energy demands. This makes dual use of the energy used to power the ethanol process.
The plants installing these new systems are
Ohio
– POET Biorefining – Fostoria – POET Biorefining – Marion – POET Biorefining – Leipsic
Indiana
– POET Biorefining – Alexandria – POET Biorefining – North Manchester – POET Biorefining – Portland
All of the upgrades are expected to be complete in 2017.
