CELEBRATING 1,000 MW INVOLVING THE INSTALLATION OF 15 TCG 2032 V16 GAS GENSETS

To honour the work and installed total output in Bangladesh by MWM distributor Kaltimex Energy Bangladesh (Pvt.) Ltd., Caterpillar Energy Solutions invited the representatives of Kaltimex Energy to Mannheim.

The celebration of the successful cooperation was also accompanied by a renewal of the distributor agreement.

10-MW Project in Chittagong Laid Foundation for Partnership

The foundation for the successful long-standing co-operation between Caterpillar Energy Solutions and Kaltimex Energy had been laid with a 10MW project in Chittagong back in 2000 which never materialized.

Seven years later, however, the installed total output of the MWM gas gensets sold by Kaltimex Energy in Bangladesh amounted to 100 MWM, and in 2014 to 500 MW. Gas gensets with a total output of 100 MW were sold and installed in 2018 and in 2021.

John V. Jacob, Director PT. Kaltimex Energy and CEO Kaltimex Energy Bangladesh, and K. K. Ralhan, Founder – Chairman Kaltimex Group and President Director PT. Kaltimex Energy, regard the 60-MW project for Precision Energy as their flagship project with MWM gensets engines.

The project had been rolled out in 2009. Within three months, 15 MWM TCG 2032 V16 gas gensets were shipped to Precision Energy, where they were installed by Kaltimex Energy.

The plant generates a constant output of 60 MWel, all of which is fed into public grids. In 2010, the MWM film “60 MW Around the World”, which had been produced for this project, won the intermedia-globe silver award for the best film in the documentation/point of sale category at the World Media Festival in Hamburg.

“Trust, Value, and Service”: Caterpillar Energy & Kaltimex Renew Distributor Agreement

To honour the work and implementation of projects with MWM gas engines, Uwe Sternstein, Head of Service & Parts at Caterpillar Energy Solutions GmbH, and Tim Scott, Director for MWM, handed over a “Certificate of Recognition” to the representatives of Kaltimex Energy as a token of gratitude for the 21 years of successful co-operation.

MWM distributor Kaltimex Energy believes in good customer service. In the event of a technical problem, a service engineer from Kaltimex Energy is on the customer’s premises within one hour on every day of the year.

To provide this service, Kaltimex Energy in Bangladesh has 16 employees who take care of the spare parts business, 21 project engineers, and 93 service engineers.

“In our communication with the customer, we always emphasize trust, value, and service”, adds K. K. Ralhan.

To further enhance the longstanding successful co-operation between the companies, Caterpillar Energy Solutions and Kaltimex Energy renewed the distributor agreement during the visit to Mannheim, and look forward to the joint rollout of future energy projects.

TCG 2032 Gas Genset

The MWM gas gensets of the TCG 2032 series are said to be perfectly geared to the challenges of a dynamic market environment.

Models in the output range of 3,000 – 4,500 kWel meet the high requirements of a broad range of applications and offer efficiency, reliability, flexibility and environmental sustainability, together with low lifecycle costs and high profitability.

The TCG 2032 series provides high efficiency and low lubricant consumption. With its lubricant consumption of only 0.2 g/kWh up to 30 percent lower lubricant consumption compared to competitor products thanks to optimised tappet sealing, coke stripping rings and ring packages. It can also achieve high fuel utilisation and low operation costs thanks to an optimised chamber spark plug.

A new closed crankcase ventilation development enables utilisation of the blow-by gas which provides increased efficiency.

The gas genset also offers high availability through long maintenance intervals: first maintenance after 4,000 hours, major overhaul after 80,000 hours. Soot-free combustion also increases plant profitability.

MWM offers extended maintenance intervals for the exhaust gas heat exchanger.

Key features of the genset include:

-Output range from 3,000 to 4,500 kWel - MWM’s largest series

- Runs on all gas types: natural gas, landfill gas, sewage gas, mine gas, coke oven gas and biogas.

-Mainly used in large IPP projects with up to 100,000 kWel www.mwm.net

-The series features superb reliability and low operating and maintenance costs, reports the company.
