Energy Back-up Systems

For remote locations, backup power can be the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major operational crisis.

For remote or challenging locations, having an energy backup system available for your incinerator provides several critical advantages:

Continuous operations when primary power fails, preventing costly downtime
Protection for sensitive equipment from damage caused by sudden power loss
Safety maintenance for workers who might otherwise be stranded without power
Independence from unreliable grid connections that may be inconsistent or unavailable
Critical data protection for monitoring systems and communications equipment
Weather resilience against storms, extreme temperatures, or other conditions that might affect power supply
Extended operational hours in locations where there might be scheduled downtime
Emergency response capability during critical situations
Faster recovery from power disruptions compared to waiting for utility repairs
Cost savings from preventing production losses, equipment damage, and emergency service calls

Our Energy Ancilleries

All of our incinerators are compatible with additional energy back-up systems, so regardless of if you require a small incinerator or a much larger system – there will be a solution to meet your needs.

We can supply Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) or Back-up Generators with our systems. These two power backup solutions serve similar purposes but have significant differences and many comprehensive backup power systems use both: UPS for immediate protection and generators for long-term backup.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS):

A UPS is a battery-backed power system that provides instant, seamless electricity during outages, operating within milliseconds to prevent any interruption to connected devices.

It delivers clean, stable power for a limited duration (typically minutes to hours), making it ideal for protecting sensitive electronics and critical equipment from sudden shutdowns, data loss, and power fluctuations.

While UPS systems require minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement every 3-5 years, they operate silently without emissions, but come with higher upfront costs and limited capacity that restricts their ability to power large loads or provide extended backup.

Backup Generators:

A backup generator is a fuel-powered system (using diesel, natural gas, propane, or gasoline) that provides sustained electricity during extended outages, capable of running for days as long as fuel is available.

Though generators require several seconds to minutes to activate—creating a brief power gap—they can deliver higher power capacities.

While generators typically have lower initial costs for comparable capacity, they can require more maintenance including regular testing and fuel management, and their operation produces noise and exhaust emissions that may require consideration..
