For this project, Elite installed four EnviroGen® modules that run in unison to provide 900 kWe of electricity to the facility. The system runs in parallel to existing utilities, providing a constant source of power during blackouts or scheduled maintenance to the CHP system.

A study conducted five months after the hospital’s CHP system went online shows the application to be operating at 97 percent uptime. Thanks to the dependability of this system, John Muir is able to create enough heat and power for the entire 259-bed acute care facility on site, with minimal dependence on the utility grid.
