    Induction Generator - Rotating Machinery Characteristics

    Thanks esee135, we do have a budget line item for testing. We disassembled the unit as far as possible looking for clues as to the original manufacturer but did not come up with anything. We noticed that at least two interconnection applications for other utilities contain the statement below...

    Kaeser Omega Blowers for Biogas Use

    Does anyone have experience with the Kaeser Omega positive displacement blowers for biogas use? Our main concerns are corrosion and fire/explosion hazards. We do know that Roots blowers are used for biogas use but we have located a used Omega that appears well-sized for our application.
