Feasibility Analysis and Financing. These are the cornerstones of successful cogeneration implementation. The need to confidently forecast an adequate rate of return is the prime consideration when making an investment decision. Once feasibility of a scheme has been defined, an expertly structured financing package can improve economic performance, increase cogeneration savings, and take maximum advantage of government incentives for cogeneration schemes such as emissions credits and accelerated depreciation.
Apex Cogen combines proven technical ability with business skills and extensive contacts and alliances in the investment community. The Apex Group's experience in structuring innovative financial structures for both the power and cogeneration industry and for international oil and gas project investments can help achieve maximum financial advantage.
Flexible Project Management Services. From technical reviews and short assignments of key technical experts to augment a client's own resources, to full service project management responsibility for an entire project, Apex Cogen offers a wide range of assistance to implement a cogeneration or power plant project.
We are licensed to practice professional engineering in Alberta, and offer specialty technical consulting in key areas of power plant and cogeneration design such as turbomachinery, digital controls, high voltage electrical, process design, and heat recovery systems. Apex Cogen's technical expertise can prove invaluable in specifying, evaluating, and procuring key equipment components such as gas turbines, reciprocating engines, generators, back pressure and condensing steam turbines, boilers, hot oil systems, control systems, operating software, SCADA systems, power transformers, water treatment systems, condensers, cooling towers, and ancillary equipment.
Savings on used equipment. Used equipment can provide substantial savings in capital costs, and accelerated deliveries of long lead time items. However, caveat emptor are the watch words of the used equipment marketplace. Our experts can assist in finding suitable equipment, inspecting it, and making renovation and repairs recommendations to provide extended life and long term service.
Whether the plant equipment is new or used, Apex Cogen can provide inspection, expediting, and installation supervisory services. Our experienced construction and commissioning personnel can manage the plant installation, and provide scheduling, cost control, technical review, inspection, commissioning, start-up, and training assistance.
