Evo Energy Technologies has been engaged by Acu-Tech Piping Systems, a leading Australian manufacturer of HDPE piping solutions, to deliver a high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) energy system. Located in Redbank, QLD, this project addresses site-wide energy reliability issues and aims to replace an ageing diesel generator, significantly improving sustainability and operational efficiency.
Acu-Tech Piping Systems manufactures high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping solutions for civil, industrial, and mining applications. With growing energy requirements and limited supply from the existing electrical grid, the company faced constraints that impacted productivity and required reliance on a diesel generator for power continuity.
To address this, Evo Energy Technologies was contracted to deliver a fully integrated energy system featuring 2 x 2G Avus 1000 Plus CHP engines. These high-efficiency gas engines will provide continuous on-site generation of electricity and heat, helping Acu-Tech reduce reliance on the grid while supporting round-the-clock production.
The system is designed to:
- Fully offset power limitations from the grid
- Displace the existing diesel generator
- Improve the site’s overall energy efficiency
- Support future expansion with a scalable and modular setup
By replacing diesel with natural gas-powered CHP technology, Acu-Tech will significantly lower its greenhouse gas emissions while also benefiting from improved cost control, energy reliability, and operational uptime.
The project not only enhances energy security for Acu-Tech but also aligns with broader industry trends toward decarbonisation and infrastructure resilience. Evo Energy Technologies will manage the full scope—from engineering and installation through to commissioning and ongoing support.
