International Energy Associations, Regional Energy Commissions, The US Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency Advise CHP For Breweries

Energy is needed at every stage of the brewing process. Combined Heat And Power (CHP) or, the re-use of the 'waste heat' generated after gas is combusted to turn turbine blades, is especially well-suited for breweries. ​​The heat can be directly applied toward heating a boiling wort, and the electricity is utilized in every other phase of the brewing process. Reach out to MBS to see how we can help you reduce your electric bill - while minimizing your carbon footprint - using Combined Heat And Power to brew your beer.

Gas Turbines Represent A Quantum Leap In Reliable, On-Site Technology

Cost

• Cheaper Than Electric Utility, Even With Finance Charges
  Typically about half of the $0.15 to $.30 per kWh - financing and gas cost included​
• You Own The Microturbine After Financing, And It Can Be Redeployed
  Take power generation control back from the utility company​​

Environment

• Advanced Combustion Controls And Lowest Emissions In Its Class
  Power like this simply can't go cleaner than natural gas and Flex Energy/MBS
• Utility Electric Is Only 30% Efficient
  Microturbines push 85% (with cogeneration)​
• Clean Waste Heat
  Uncontaminated exhaust heat

Reliability

• Power When You Can't Afford Outages
  Natural gas is more disaster-reliable, in addition to being more affordable, than electric 
• Unparalleled Reliability
  Tens of millions of run-time hours and counting

Flexibility

• High Power, On-Site
  Bring power to where you need it, in a compact footprint
• Widest Fuel Tolerance Of Any Small Gas Turbine
  Can run on various gas types, including captured methane (farms)​
• Stand Alone or Grid Connect
  Independent, Parallel, or Dual-Mode

Control

• Power Whether The Electric Company 'Approves'
  More and more, electric utilities are simply turning down industrial electric requests​
• Remote Monitoring
  Complete view at all times

Superior Engineering

• One Moving Part And 8 Hours Of Maintenance, Annually
  Simple and powerful, with maintenance costs are figured into financing​
• Robust Build Quality And A Durable, Weather-Proof Housing 
  Ready for any weather conditions, and suited for heavy industry​
• Load Management Without Batteries
  No high-speed alternator

Ease

• 6 Month Order-To-Install
  Installation time of roughly 2 - 3  weeks
• Maintenance Included
  Not just maintenance costs, but activities, are covered in you financing
