In the described power plant, there is no reactor for the air or steam conversion of ethanol to produce synthesis gas.Ethanol in a copper catalyst undergoes dehydrogenation (separation of hydrogen from ethanol). The hydrogen is used to generate electricity and the ethylene oxide produced in this process is sent to the water heating boiler to heat the delivery water used for heating and hot water supply to consumers.Electric power 5 kW, heat supplied to heating networks 9.54 kW. The fuel utilization factor is 51.5%. Specific reference fuel consumption for electricity production is 0.131 kg c.e./kWh, and for heat energy - 93 kg c.e./GJ. Electricity generation for external heat consumption is 145 kWh/GJ. By specific parameters, the power unit is slightly inferior to modern combined heat and power plants, except for specific fuel equivalent consumption for electric power production.
