The South African maritime design and building capabilities are well established and this new vessel will add to that strong base.

TROIL Vegas Altas S.C. is a second-grade cooperative dedicated to the transformation of olive oil mill by-products. Many expansions have been made over the years at the site in Valdetorres, Spain, and a combined heat and power application was selected as the most cost-effective and reliable solution to power the new site expansion. Electrical efficiency and reliability of the Cummins QSK60G lean-burn gas generator set, coupled with the existing long-standing relationship with Cummins Power Generation, were the key reasons why TROIL Vegas Altas S.C. chose Cummins again. 

Wildfire season is no stranger to California residents.  In 2019 alone, the state experienced 6,872 fire incidents which affected over 250,000 acres of land and 732 physical structures. Even if the treacherous flames don’t make it to your doorstep, there are many other effects that could take a toll on your lifestyle. Often times wildfires and planned outages decommission the local power grid leaving your home without electricity.

Technologies that require fast computing and low latency are the key drivers of edge computing, and this need for low latency necessitates edge data centers to be near the users they support. Edge data centers are the physical structures where edge computing takes place and are usually located within a few miles from where the data is generated.

Greenhouses, hospitals, industrial manufacturers and commercial building owners are some of the many turning to cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power (CHP). They enjoy benefits ranging from improved financial performance to reduced environmental footprint. Cogeneration applications’ high efficiency in converting the energy in the original fuel into useful energy is the foundation of these advantages.
