When Jasmine Water and Beverages Factory Ltd Co, a large water and beverage factory based 120km west from Riyadh city, needed a reliable and uninterrupted power supply for its 24/7 operations, they turned to Atlas Copco and partner GCC Olayan for a solution
Jasmine Water and Beverages Factory?s plant is in a remote location in the desert, without access to stable power grid. Because of this, the company faced frequent power failures, making the continuous production line difficult, and so resolved to acquire a reliable generator to solve this issue.
GCC Olayan, Atlas Copco?s official distributor in Saudi Arabia, recommended four TwinPower generators. The TwinPower is a unique containerised portable generator that delivers unrivalled versatility, fuel economy, and twice the amount of on-site power than conventional independent power plants (IPPS).
Atlas Copco TwinPower is a 20 ft ISO containerised unit housing two compact 500 kVA generators; powered by compact Scania engines. This configuration, with an advanced control system, allows the two generators to work independently or in parallel with each other making it ideally suited for applications that have variable power needs.
As Jasmine Water and Beverages Factory needed 4,000 kVA to work in synchronisation, Atlas Copco modified the totalisation and distribution panel and fuel systems of the TwinPower units. To ensure the best fuel optimisation, Atlas Copco recommended using the Power Management System (PMS) mode. The TwinPower generators are also equipped with a centralised control and monitoring system that is both easy-to-use and configure. This is facilitated by two Qc4003 digital controllers that feature intuitive touchscreens, and a choice of island or PMS modes.
?We are very pleased with the Atlas Copco QAC 1100 TwinPower. It provides us with the reliable power supply that our production line needed to run 24/7 without cuts while offering us the best fuel optimisation for our plant,? stated Ashraf El-Nahas, factory general manager, Jasmine Water and Beverages Factory.
Atlas Copco TwinPower is designed for easy service. Large access doors and custom service tools make for effortless maintenance and assured uptime. The positioning of the motor and alternator sets on opposite sides enable multiple access points to all the main components.
