Cefla Engineering has chosen Fornovo Gas for technological excellence in the production of reciprocating OIL FREE compressors. Fornovo Gas’s OIL FREE compressor with type B distance piece, designed according to API 618, allows you to maximize the efficiency of the cogeneration plant, ensuring maximum purity of methane gas.

The plant needs to power a 6MWe natural gas turbine in the cogeneration system through the 2DA300 75Kw OIL FREE reciprocating compressor: the reciprocating compressor is necessary to increase the pressure of the methane taken from the grid, from 9 barg to 18 barg, pressure required to the Solar T65 turbine to be able to work at full efficiency. The OIL FREE technology is also crucial for turbine performance and duration.

The plant designed by Cefla, thanks to 2DA300 OIL FREE Compressor supplied by Fornovo Gas, has allowed Casalgrande Padana to maximize the power supply to the turbine. Furthermore, the new gas turbine technologies require that the gas is clean and that there are no oil particles resulting from compression: the use of Fornovo gas OIL FREE piston compressors is the perfect technology for this type of application, ensuring performance and reliability.
