    conglomerate of dairy, agriculture and ready-made food
    companies. Recognized by its world-known “Chitale Bandhu” Location
    brand, the company has a motto: “Give back to the community Maharashtra, India
    what you have gained from it.” It’s an approach that, in part,
    informed the company’s decision to invest in a highly efficient, Commissioned
    more environmentally friendly biogas system at its Chitale August, 2017
    Dairy plant in Maharashtra. The rewards of the new system,
    however, went well beyond this goal, allowing the company Fuel
    to also meet government regulations, improve reliability and Biogas
    reduce energy costs.
    Partnering with Capstone distributor, Brio Energy, the Technologies
    company embarked on a 2 MLD capacity biogas digester • 3 C65 Microturbines
    system built around the Capstone C65 Microturbine.

    The Solution Distributor
    - Brio Energy
    The dairy production facility, which processes more than 8
    Lacs liters of milk and milk products every day, has an Effluent
    Treatment Plant (ETP), where they treat the effluent and the
    wash water coming from the processing units. The resulting
    sour biogas is used to fuel the microturbines, producing
    roughly 50-56 kW/hr of power per turbine to the various
    advanced equipment and processing machines including

    “
    Our customer, B.G. Chitale, is quite satisfied with
    the installation [...] We believe there is significant
    opportunity for growth in these kinds of green
    energy projects.”

    for a Cleaner Future
    Three C65 microturbines provide power to the India-based dairy
    conglomerate helping them meet government regulations while also
    providing them reliable power and reducing energy cost.

    Chitale Dairy plans to install additional heat recovery from
    the exhaust of the microturbine for hot water generation.

    The Results
    -
    Since commissioned in August of 2017, the microturbines
    have run over 36,500 continuous hours. With on-site access
    to continuous power and a 12 percent improvement in energy
    efficiency, the system has reduced the site’s utility costs by 40
    percent, which amounts to approximately $94,500 per year.
    As the first commercial microturbine installation in India
    and the first system of its kind in the country’s dairy industry,
    the Chitale Dairy project represents a progressive model for
    greener, more efficient energy projects.
    A C65 Microturbine provides up to 65 kW of electrical
    power while the UL-Certified provides up to an additional
    150 kW of thermal power for CHP and CCHP applications.
