The generator is housed in a sound-reduction container to reduce noise levels to 75 dB(A) at one metre. Its 68 000 litre double-skinned underground fuel tank is connected to the day tanks and generators set by double-skin fuel pipes.
The emissions reduction system was provided to meet the health trust’s environmental policy. It weighs 4 t and is mounted on the roof of the container.
It uses the latest catalysation and soot entrapment technology and utilises a highly active base-metal washcoat system with a specially formulated precious-metal coating. In series with the catalytic converter is a soot filter section which, by lower the light-off temperatures at which the soot particles combustion, significantly reduces total soot emissions.
