This presentation will discuss two CHP case studies from Germany. One is a cigarette manufacturer which uses an OP16 gas turbine with additional duct firing to produce process steam. The other is a wheat starch manufacturer which uses an OP16 gas turbine and utilizes its exhaust gases for direct drying. This is a unique application where exhaust gases are used directly for a food drying application, made possible as a result of an all-radial gas turbine configuration. Both applications have over 88% total CHP efficiency.
