28 CPA Bulletin > August 2022 www.cpa.uk.net Flogas Partners with Himoinsa to Deliver Liquid Gas Power Solution Liquid gas supplier Flogas Britain has partnered with power generator manufacturer Himoinsa to provide a cleaner, more cost-effective energy solution for UK businesses currently relying on diesel generators. Together, they’ll provide turnkey liquid gas solutions to companies with onsite power generation needs, helping lower emissions and make significant cost savings following red diesel subsidy changes earlier this year. “Businesses running their generators on diesel will have recently faced significant price hikes, now that the subsidy has been lifted across most sectors,” says David Taylor, Commercial Director at Flogas. “They also need to meet increasingly pressing sustainability targets and legislative requirements, which means many are now looking to invest in lower carbon alternatives. This is where liquid gas offers the perfect solution. Not only is it cheaper than diesel, but it’s much cleaner too, producing far fewer carbon and other pollutant emissions that impact air quality. “This is why we wanted to team up with a key player in the power generation business. Himoinsa’s not only a leading manufacturer with top quality technology and expertise, but it’s also forward thinking and shares our vision to help businesses on the road to a lower carbon future. By joining forces, we can help companies make that transition frommore polluting diesel and save themmoney in the process. Plus, we’ll manage everything for them - from design and specification, through to installation and ongoing support.” As well as cutting costs and carbon emissions, liquid gas also emits far fewer nitrous oxides (NOx), sulphur oxides (SOx) and particulate matter (PM), making it the perfect solution for emission-sensitive sites. It’s highly dependable, can be stored directly onsite (above or underground) and delivers consistent power, keeping productivity high. It’s also quiet to run and safe to store, with no risk of spilling or being stolen. As partners, Flogas and Himoinsa will provide completely tailored liquid gas solutions for businesses with both temporary and permanent power generation needs. They will be able to select from Himoinsa’s range of state-of-the-art generators and will benefit from a reliable liquid gas supply from Flogas along with dedicated customer support. Liquid gas tanks will also be fitted with auto ordering technology, which triggers a refill when levels are running low and ensures customers always have the power they need. Increased demand from the events sector and film industry has led to the expansion of a dedicated range of ultra-quiet generators. Plant equipment provider MHM has expanded its range of Event Ready generators, which now covers models from 10kVA to 500kVA. The units, painted in a distinctive pink livery, all feature MHM’s ultra-silenced technology, reducing noise emissions to as low as 50dBa at seven metres. Brad Ireland, Group Sales Director for MHM, said: “They are quiet, reliable and robust machines that are specifically designed for outdoor events or use on movie and TV sets, providing the same power as our standard MHM generators with the benefit of reduced noise levels.” The generators all have Stage V compliant Kubota, Yanmar, Kohler or Iveco diesel engines and are compatible with HVO fuel, enabling the user to reduce their emissions. They also feature MHM’s unique automatic engine protection system. This shuts down the engine to prevent damage caused by issues such as low oil pressure, low fuel, battery charge failure, and high engine temperature. MHM has also expanded its range of Stage 5 generators. Hire companies can now purchase Stage 5-compliant generators up to 500kVA from MHM’s Ready to Rent range. The range previously covered Stage 5 generators from 3kVA to 160kVA. Features include the exclusive MHM-Gen automatic engine protection system, which shuts down the engine to protect it from damage caused by issues such as low oil pressure and high engine temperature. Brad Ireland, Group Sales Director for MHM, said: “Hirers want a robust, reliable product that can stand up to the rigours of modern construction sites. The extension of our Ready to Rent range means that we can nowmeet those needs right up to 500kVA.” MHMExpands Ultra-Silent Range
