Cogeneration feasibility study at the Paul Masson Vineyards Winery in Saratoga, California. Final report
This report evaluated the feasibility of installing a cogeneration system at the Paul Masson Vineyards Winery in Saratoga, California. The feasibility study explores the technical and economic features of a variety of cogeneration systems. The system recommended is a 290 kilowatt natural gas fired rich burning Otto cycle internal combustion engine-generator set. Waste heat recovery would produce an average of 1500 gallons per hour of 180F. process water and provide for a peak of 4500 gallons per hour for four hours per day. The system would produce 1,670,000 kilowatt-hours of electric energy per year, have a capital cost of $191,000, and have a payback period of 2.3 years. The project would save over 18 billion BTU's per year compared to separate generation of steam by Paul Masson and electricity by the utility. Atmospheric emissions can be sufficiently controlled by using a non-selective reduction catalytic converter.
