PRODUCT SOLUTIONSCOMBINED HEAT AND POWER (CHP)Whether your operations require steam, hot water or even hot air,Caterpillar offers CHP modules that recover the heat from the enginejacket and aftercooler water circuits, and/or from the exhaust gas.Caterpillar offers a standard or customized CHP design to matchcustomers needs with the cooling conguration, system pressuresand temperatures associated with each Cat gas engine.

CONTROLS AND SWITCHGEARWhether operating on natural gas, biogas or manufactured gas,Caterpillar offers switchgear controls that match regional requirements.Cat paralleling, control and monitoring systems are offered to serveUL specication markets in the Americas or InternationalElectrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

All controls are microprocessor-based with redundant backupmaster controls via the individual generator control processors.Full monitoring and control are offered locally via a 5.7 to 17 inch(145 to 432 mm) color touch screen interface.

FUEL SYSTEMS Whether your natural gas project requires simple fuel pressureregulation and safety, or if your biogas generator set requiresltration of hydrogen sulde and siloxane contaminants, a complete

offering of fuel train equipment is available to meet the specicneeds of your project. For low energy fuels, your Cat Dealer willanalyze your fuel sample to ensure compliance with Cat enginefuel requirements over time.

EXHAUST AFTERTREATMENTCaterpillar offers a suite of aftertreatment solutions to comply withany global regulation. Whether youre applying a lean burn engineoxidation catalyst to simply lower CO emissions, or applying aurea-based SCR system to all but eliminate NO x for greenhousefertilization, Cat Gas Solutions provides exhaust aftertreatment

equipment tailored to your regional requirements.

CONTAINERS AND ENCLOSURESFor both natural gas and low energy fuel applications, Caterpillar offerscontainerized power plants that include complete generator sets,paralleling controls, cooling system, oil system and ventilation forvarious ambient environments. Custom containers are offered for arcticgrade -40C (-40F) and high ambient project locations up to 50C (122F).

PRODUCT SUPPORTFrom a 12-month basic warranty and scheduled oil sampling to a 12-year CustomerSupport Agreement, your local Cat Dealer provides different maintenance and repairoptions to match customer requirements. For generator sets and switchgear, CatInsurance offers various Extended Service Coverage (ESC) plans to protect against the parts and labor costs associated with unplanned repairs after the standard warrantyperiod. In addition, 1- to 5-year Overhaul Protection Coverage (OPC) is offered on bothparts and service associated with an engine overhaul. Your Cat Dealer can provide asuite of options tailored toward project specic needs.

FINANCE

Cat Financial is a full service nance company offering both loans and leases atcompetitive interest rates and exible terms on equipment and projects powered byCat engines. Construction and term project nancing is available for up to 80 percentof the total project cost, including engineering, equipment, permitting and soft costs.

TRADEFor more than 30 years, Cat World Trade has helped companies with an alternativemeans of purchasing Cat equipment through innovative commodity trade agreements.Cat World Trade can also help generate more revenue through the sale of carbon,renewable energy or emission reduction credits.

GAS RENTAL POWERSometimes bridge electric power solutions are required to close the gap during majorconstruction projects, utility power shortages or expansions of commercial or industrialoperations. Cat Rental Power via the global network of Cat Rental Power Dealers andInternational Power Project Providers offer containerized, mobile generator sets thatcan operate on natural gas fuel, individually or paralleled together, on a monthly orannual contract basis.

COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL FACILITIESCombined heat and power (CHP) reduces operating costs

Many commercial facilities such as resorts, shopping malls,high-rise ofce buildings, universities, data centers and hospitals,

as well as industrial plants, reneries and district heating plantscan reduce operating costs by implementing a Cat CHP systemusing clean pipeline natural gas as a fuel source.

GREENHOUSES High-efciency power systems Greenhouse facilities also utilize natural gas with a Cat CHP system.Cat gas generator sets can provide electricity for electrical loads,heat energy for warming of the greenhouses and recycled carbondioxide from the engine exhaust as an organic fertilizer.

Electricity from CHP systems can also create a revenue stream for

the facility, when electricity produced at a greenhouse exceeds thelocal demand. Many countries incentivize high-efciency electricpower generation via production credits. In other parts of the world,grid instability and pure economics are driving greenhouse agriculture toward similar solutions.

UTILITIES Meeting base or peak loads with natural gas

Electric utilities can operate Cat gas generator sets continuously toserve base electrical loads. This is particularly advantageous in theabsence of a reliable centralized power plant, or where the economics

and availability of natural gas fuel are key drivers.Cat gas generator sets are also commonly applied to economicallyaddress peak utility demands that occur daily or seasonally.

AGRICULTURE AND FOOD PROCESSINGSustainable power using biogas

Biogas, derived as a byproduct of many agricultural, food processingand industrial processes, is used as a fuel source for Cat generatorsets. Cat gas generator sets specically designed to operate on biogascan reduce total operating costs. Cat low-energy fuel generator setsare engineered to handle fuel with variations in methane content typical

of biogas operations.

Cat switchgear and master controls parallel the generator set to thelocal electrical grid to export renewable power at a premium to thelocal electric utility. Otherwise power can be distributed and used locally.For more remote installations, the power produced can be consumedby the facilities on site.
