ABSTRACT
This article describes the installation of three 375-kWe natural-gas-powered distributed generation units at Medway Plastics Corporation located in Long Beach, California. In addition to electric power, Medway has elected to utilize heat available in the engine jacket water to drive a 151-ton, single-effect, vapor absorption chiller, which Medway will use for cooling operations attendant to the injection molding process. As this article was being written, the units were scheduled to undergo exhaust gas emission testing to verify compliance with regulations set forth by South Coast Air Quality Management District.
