Nong Shim Foods COGEN Installation

SDP landed on September 1, 2008 a 1 MEG COGEN project for installation and service at NONG SHIM FOODS, INC. (NSF), a Korean noodle maker with a USA factory in Rancho Cucamonga, California. The 15 year return on the project exceeds 60% annually.
NSF is buying 5 year gas strips from SDP to lock in  low gas futures prices and guarantee the attractive pay back in savings on their power bills. SDP is installing the system for around $1650/kW and the COGEN plant will start up by the end of the year.
The COGEN plant will preheat water entering two 750kW boilers. Run time will start at 71% of available hours, shutting down on weekends, and increase 10% a year until full capacity is reached. NSF plans to have SDP add 500kW more COGEN capacity in year three.
