GE Jenbacher Supplying Equipment for Alternative Energy Projects in Asia LAS VEGAS, NEVADA (December 9, 2003) — GE Jenbacher, a division of GE Power Systems specializing in the manufacture of gas engines and the utilization of alternative energy sources such as diverse biogases and other special gases, has received several recent orders for its technology in Thailand and Malaysia. Thailand -- Khorat waste-to-energy project : This system generates electricity from biogas obtained from the wastewater of a starch factory. GE Jenbacher is supplying three generator sets that will add 3,144 kilowatts of capacity for this plant, and a second expansion involving two additional units is being planned. -- Rayong waste-to-fertilizer-and-energy project : GE Jenbacher is supplying a cogeneration plant based on one type JMS 312 engine for a state-subsidized biomass fermentation project. In addition to generating electricity, the waste heat also is used for the fermentation process. The engine exhaust also can be utilized for drying the biomass residue, which can be used as fertilizer. The project, based in the city of Rayong, will have an electrical output of 625 kilowatts and a thermal output of 397 kilowatts. Malaysia -- Jana Landfill : GE Jenbacher is supplying two generator sets built in containers for the first landfill gas system in Malaysia, which is being constructed for state energy supplier TNB-ES Sdn. Bhd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Tenaga Nasional Berhad. The landfill gas will be used to generate 2,096 kilowatts of electricity, and a plant expansion up to five megawatts is planned. The growing number of landfill gas and biogas projects in Malaysia is the result of a government initiative to supply five percent of the country’s energy demands from renewable energy sources within the next few years.
