MWM Gas vs Diesel — Cost, Emissions & Use Cases
| Feature | MWM Gas Generators | Diesel Generators |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel Cost (Canada) | Lower & stable with utility natural gas | Higher volatility; delivered diesel |
| Emissions | Low NOx/PM; helps ESG goals | More particulates; after-treatment needed |
| Noise | Quieter at comparable kW | Louder under similar load |
| Runtime | Continuous with utility gas; ideal for CHP | Limited by on-site fuel storage |
| Best For | Industrial/commercial facilities, data centres, distributed energy & CHP | Remote sites without gas; short-duration backup |
About CHP & Distributed Energy
Distributed energy can make rational use of resources, reduce consumption and pollution, and can be operated flexibly and economically for facilities that value uptime and efficiency.
Distributed Energy:
- Energy efficiency: above 84%
- Enables cascade utilization of energy
- Customized to provide resource and environmental benefits—maximize total system efficiency
CHP (Combined Heat & Power) Features:
- CHP: a mode of energy in which electricity and heat coexist
- Suited for distributed energy supply
- Operates in grid-connected or isolated (island) mode
- Further use of generator waste heat to improve utilization rate
Cascade Utilization of Energy:
100% FUEL ↓
- High temperature (above 700 °C) → electricity / process steam
- Moderate temperature (120–550 °C) → heating / absorption cooling
- Low temperature (below 120 °C) → space heating / DHW, desiccant application
- Emission (minimized)
Typical partition: ~40% electricity • ~45% recoverable heat • ~15% emissions/losses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does an MWM gas generator last?
With proper maintenance and fuel quality, major overhauls are typically scheduled in the 60,000–80,000 running-hour range depending on series and duty cycle.
Can these systems meet Canadian regulations?
Yes. Packages are configured to meet EPA Tier 3/4 emissions and can be field-approved under CSA SPE-1000 where required. cULus-listed components are used throughout.
Do you provide CHP (cogeneration) integration?
We deliver turnkey CHP including heat exchangers, controls, and utility interconnect to maximize total energy efficiency >84%.
What enclosure options are available?
Open skid, weather-proof silent canopy, and containerized solutions with winterization for Canadian climates.
