Every building needs energy. You purchase electricity from the grid while also paying for natural gas or propane to produce heat and hot water. But what if the same fuel used to heat your building could also help generate your electricity? That is the idea behind the EcoPrime microCHP system from Axiom Energy Group. Turn Heat Demand Into an Opportunity Traditional heating equipment uses fuel to produce heat. EcoPrime takes that process a step further by producing heat and electricity at the...

Oil and gas operations are becoming more connected every year. Remote wellsites, pipelines, compressor stations, and production facilities are increasingly relying on SCADA systems, sensors, communications equipment, monitoring devices, and automation to give operators better visibility and control. That technology can make remote operations more efficient. But it also creates a basic challenge that is easy to overlook: How do you reliably power all of it? For assets located miles from...

If your building uses natural gas or propane for heat while purchasing electricity from the grid, there may be an opportunity to get more value from the fuel you are already consuming. Micro combined heat and power (microCHP) generates heat and electricity at the same time, right where they are needed. Instead of operating a conventional boiler solely to produce heat, a microCHP system captures that thermal energy for the building while simultaneously producing electricity that can offset...
