The proven model also allows the steady augmentation to coincide with the electrical load development of the supplied operation. This means that generation can begin with as little as 500kW and then grow this output to tens of megawatts as the operational load comes on line. Generators can be utilised for a variety of remote power applications: — Parallel with the grid supply — Island power — Dedicated special purpose loads — Water treatment plants — Gas compressor stations During the operating life of the equipment, Clarke Energy will service and maintain the generators offering fully comprehensive operation, maintenance, repair and overhaul packages including remote monitoring and guaranteed availability. The overall installation, operation and maintenance of all GE Jenbacher gas engines installed in our territories is performed by factory trained, dedicated local Cliff Head, flare gas project, Dongara, Australia, 3 x JMS 612 Clarke Energy commissioning and service engineers.
