Powered by MWM gas engines, the project converts coal mine gas into reliable electricity and useful heat.
Project Overview
This project is an 8MW coal mine gas power generation project located in Shanxi, China. The plant utilizes high-concentration coal mine gas as fuel and converts it into stable electricity for the mining area.
The power plant is equipped with two 4MW MWM gas generator sets, supported by gas pretreatment, intelligent control, grid-connected operation and waste heat recovery systems. The solution helps turn coal mine gas from a safety risk into a valuable clean energy resource.
As an EPC power project, the scope covers engineering design, equipment supply, installation, commissioning and trial operation. By integrating MWM gas engine technology with SWT’s power system engineering capability, the project delivers reliable power generation, improved energy efficiency and reduced methane emissions.
