Generator
This is the workhorse of our plant. For simplicity, we call this
unit the generator, however it is a Caterpillar 3516, 16-cylinder
engine, coupled directly to a generator, which makes the
electricity. This particular generator typically burns natural
gas or diesel fuel and is used for standby power at hospitals, large
boats, and locomotive trains. However, it is equally suited for
our application and has been modified to run on our landfill gas
instead of natural gas.
