The client enterprise is a Ukrainian meat processing company with a full production cycle, including raw material cultivation, processing, and finished product manufacturing. The company specializes in producing a wide range of meat products: cooked, smoked, and dry-cured sausages, frankfurters, delicacies, and products made from meat and lard.

A key feature of the enterprise is its closed production cycle, which includes:
• cultivation of agricultural crops
• fattening of pigs and cattle
• raw material processing
• finished product manufacturing
• sales through partner networks

This approach allows the company to fully control product quality at all stages and comply with international food safety standards.

The enterprise actively implements modern technologies and focuses on:
• energy efficiency
• environmental responsibility
• minimization of production waste
• development of zero-waste technological processes

The company was founded in 2017 as a modern stage of business development that began in the early 2000s with a small production workshop. Today, the enterprise represents the agro-industrial and food sector, where stable energy supply and efficient resource use are critically important for continuous technological processes.

Note: For security reasons and due to ongoing attacks on Ukraine’s energy and industrial infrastructure by Russia, the name of the client enterprise will be disclosed after the situation stabilizes.

Task

The client faced the following key objectives:
• increasing energy independence
• ensuring an independent energy supply source
• reducing electricity and heat costs
• utilization of organic production waste
• implementation of environmentally safe technologies

An additional important requirement was the possibility of future scaling of the energy center.

Result

At the beginning of 2025, a contract was signed with KTS Engineering for the supply of the first Jenbacher J320 gas engine cogeneration unit with an electrical capacity of 1,067 kW and thermal capacity of 1,231 kW. A containerized solution was selected, enabling fast deployment and integration into the enterprise’s energy center. Fuel type — biogas.

In 2025, the equipment was delivered, after which KTS Engineering specialists carried out commissioning and put the unit into operation. Additionally, the engineering team implemented island-mode operation of the Jenbacher power plant in parallel with the grid without power export. The project demonstrates the effectiveness of biogas cogeneration solutions for food industry enterprises with continuous production cycles.

This approach simultaneously solves energy supply, waste utilization, and business resilience challenges under unstable energy infrastructure conditions.

Solution features

1. Specially Adapted Jenbacher Engine Configuration. To achieve high reliability and efficiency, the Jenbacher engines have been specifically adapted to accommodate the characteristics of biogas fuel. This ensures stable operation, optimized combustion performance, and maximum energy output under varying fuel quality conditions.

2. High Efficiency and Reliability. INNIO Jenbacher cogeneration units are widely deployed worldwide and are recognized as an industry benchmark for efficiency and reliability, even when operating on challenging gaseous fuels such as biogas, landfill gas, and other renewable fuel sources.  

3. Rapid Deployment and Mobility. The containerized power plant is installed directly on site and connected to the gas supply, electrical infrastructure, and thermal networks, enabling rapid commissioning and operation. If required, the solution can be relocated quickly, providing additional flexibility for changing operational requirements.

4. Professional Service Support. Comprehensive support provided by KTS Engineering specialists ensures reliable and efficient operation of the equipment throughout its entire lifecycle. The service package includes technical support, preventive maintenance, remote monitoring, diagnostics, and the supply of original spare parts, helping to maximize equipment availability and operational performance.
