Dresser-Rand Environmental Solutions

Cogeneration in the City

of Sao Paulo, Brazil
Dresser-Rand provides
cogeneration in the city
of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The Opportunity
The west area of Sao Paulo state in Brazil is an important location for commerce
and finance. Here, the Plaza Iguatemi Business Center sets the standard as a
triple-A, fully automated commercial center with state-of-the-art equipment. It is
the first commercial building in the area to achieve 100 percent of the required
energy demand out of the public network supply.
The 23-floor, 40,000 m (0.0154 mi) building
includes many amenities, including: convention
rooms, a restaurant, a fitness center with
a pool, 600 parking spaces, and a 10-ton
capacity heliport. Thus, it requires a large
quantity of uninterrupted power.

The Solution
Dresser-Rand installed three of its natural gas
Guascor SFGLD 560 gen-sets with a total
power output of 2,700 kW in the first basement
floor of the building as part of this combined
heat and power (CHP) project. The engines
are continuously monitored via a control center
with more than 200 sensors that detect gas
leaks or irregular temperatures.
The natural gas is transformed into electrical
and thermal energy by the cogeneration
process (CHP), reducing costs and increasing
energy efficiency. The amount of installed
power is greater than the current demand,
allowing flexibility for future requirements
should the demand for power increase. The
system works in parallel to the grid, which
provides additional security to the building.
