Combined Heat Power (CHP)

KWK - Energy Development

Let’s build the best energy system for our world

... it’s been a long time since man has been interacting with nature to produce energy. Since the discovery of fire to the ancient Egyptians who were the first to study and apply cogeneration, to the first steam engines up to the applications that now give us a more rational and efficient use of primary renewable fuels and alternative ones. All this passing through nuclear power, fossil fuels, solar panels, wind, and tides ...

Step by step, from a cave, a pyramid, a railway, a highway, to a power plant; evolution has brought us to follow new rules to preserve the environment, and these rules now go through a small Japanese city called, Kyoto.

KWK – business philosophy

CSR – Corporate Social Responsibility

KWK is aimed by a self-regulatory mechanism whereby the business monitors and ensures its active compliance with the spirit of the law, ethical standards and international norms.

The management is committed to embrace responsibility for corporate actions and to encourage a positive impact on the environment and stakeholders including consumers, employees, investors, communities, and others.

KWK’s Cogeneration is well loved…

WK proposes alternative energy solutions with the logic of total efficiency, starting from the analysis of consumption (electrical and thermal energy in its forms) dictated by traditional systems, to progress to new philosophies of energy efficiency.Due to the company “tailor-made” philosophy each solution is different to fulfill the customer’s needs.

KWK offers alternative energy solutions to traditional sources offering the most comprehensive response to the needs of all industries and local governments, starting at 7 kW to 4.3 MW and multiples.

Vegetable Oil Systems – The best available technologies are used to adapt diesel engines to the operator's needs, and with the utmost respect for the environment and populations in developing countries, that is giving the user the possibility of using vegetable oils not derived from provisions, recycled waste oils, and animal fat.

Natural Gas and Biogas Systems – Produce electrical and thermal energy from a single system allows to optimize the use and consumption of fuel with total efficiency up to over 90%, responding to all possible needs of each industry, communities, sport centers, swimming pools, shopping malls, hospitals, district heating.

Full Service – The best service managers to make the plants reliable and efficient to achieve the energy production target and to control consumption and emissions … to let the world breathing…

KWK – Cogeneration – CHP

Cogeneration: Represents a symbiosis of multiple processes with machines called "total energy". These simultaneously produce electrical (or mechanical) and thermal energy from a single source of primary energy. In this way, the percentage used of the potential energy contained in the fuels is increased together with the fraction at the highest energy content is converted into energy fine (mechanical or electrical), while the fraction of lower energy content, which in common heat engines gets dispersed in the environment, is recovered and made available for applications, such as heating, appropriate to its lower temperature.

From the Heat we can have: 90°C Hot Water; or 190°C Diathermic Oil; or Steam 3-8 bar.

Installations: Hospitals; Shopping Centers; Supermarkets; Schools; Hotels; Sporting Centers; Pubblic Officies; Food processing industries; Industries; District Heating.

KWK – Trigeneration

Trigeneration: a symbiosis of multiple processes with Represents machines called "total energy". These simultaneously produce electricity (or mechanical energy), heating and cooling from a single source of primary energy. In this way, the percentage used of the potential energy contained in fuel is increased together with the fraction at the highest energy content is converted into energy fine (mechanical or electrical), while the fraction of lower energy content, which in common heat engines is dispersed in the environment, is recovered and made available for applications, such as environmental heating/cooling.

From a Trigeneration System we can have: Chilled Water 7°C, or 90°C Hot Water.

Installations: Hospitals; Shopping Centers; Supermarkets; Schools; Hotels; Sporting Centers; Pubblic Officies; Food processing industries;
